dtype.fields

#

Dictionary of named fields defined for this data type, or None.

The dictionary is indexed by keys that are the names of the fields. Each entry in the dictionary is a tuple fully describing the field:

(dtype,offset[,title])Offset is limited to C int, which is signed and usually 32 bits. If present, the optional title can be any object (if it is a string or unicode then it will also be a key in the fields dictionary, otherwise it’s meta-data). Notice also that the first two elements of the tuple can be passed directly as arguments to the ndarray.getfield and ndarray.setfield methods.

Examples

>>> importnumpyasnp>>> dt=np.dtype([('name',np.str_,16),('grades',np.float64,(2,))])>>> print(dt.fields){'name': (dtype('<U16'), 0), 'grades': (dtype(('<f8', (2,))), 64)}
