# numpy.ma.compressed

ma.compressed(x)

  Return all the non-masked data as a 1-D array.

  This function is equivalent to calling the “compressed” method of a `ma.MaskedArray`, see `ma.MaskedArray.compressed` for details.

  See also

  `ma.MaskedArray.compressed`

    Equivalent method.

  Examples

  Create an array with negative values masked:

      >>> import numpy as np
      >>> x = np.array([[1, -1, 0], [2, -1, 3], [7, 4, -1]])
      >>> masked_x = np.ma.masked_array(x, mask=x < 0)
      >>> masked_x
      masked_array(
        data=[[1, --, 0],
              [2, --, 3],
              [7, 4, --]],
        mask=[[False,  True, False],
              [False,  True, False],
              [False, False,  True]],
        fill_value=999999)

  Compress the masked array into a 1-D array of non-masked values:

      >>> np.ma.compressed(masked_x)
      array([1, 0, 2, 3, 7, 4])
