Creation Functions

Array API specification for creating arrays.

A conforming implementation of the array API standard must provide and support the following functions adhering to the following conventions.

• Positional parameters must be positional-only parameters. Positional-only parameters have no externally-usable name. When a function accepting positional-only parameters is called, positional arguments are mapped to these parameters based solely on their order.

• Optional parameters must be keyword-only arguments.

Objects in API

arange(start, /, stop=None, step=1, *, dtype=None, device=None)	Returns evenly spaced values within the half-open interval [start, stop) as a one-dimensional array.
asarray(obj, /, *, dtype=None, device=None, copy=None)	Convert the input to an array.
empty(shape, *, dtype=None, device=None)	Returns an uninitialized array having a specified shape.
empty_like(x, /, *, dtype=None, device=None)	Returns an uninitialized array with the same shape as an input array x.
eye(n_rows, n_cols=None, /, *, k=0, dtype=None, device=None)	Returns a two-dimensional array with ones on the k h diagonal and zeros elsewhere.
from_dlpack(x, /)	Returns a new array containing the data from another (array) object with a __dlpack__ method.
full(shape, fill_value, *, dtype=None, device=None)	Returns a new array having a specified shape and filled with fill_value.
full_like(x, /, fill_value, *, dtype=None, device=None)	Returns a new array filled with fill_value and having the same shape as an input array x.
linspace(start, stop, /, num, *, dtype=None, device=None, endpoint=True)	Returns evenly spaced numbers over a specified interval.
meshgrid(*arrays, indexing='xy')	Returns coordinate matrices from coordinate vectors.
ones(shape, *, dtype=None, device=None)	Returns a new array having a specified shape and filled with ones.
ones_like(x, /, *, dtype=None, device=None)	Returns a new array filled with ones and having the same shape as an input array x.
tril(x, /, *, k=0)	Returns the lower triangular part of a matrix (or a stack of matrices) x.
triu(x, /, *, k=0)	Returns the upper triangular part of a matrix (or a stack of matrices) x.
zeros(shape, *, dtype=None, device=None)	Returns a new array having a specified shape and filled with zeros.
zeros_like(x, /, *, dtype=None, device=None)	Returns a new array filled with zeros and having the same shape as an input array x.
