Doubt it is good, but to put it there: extend_mask_along_axis "along" shows up 2-3 times, although "along" really is the default for most things in NumPy. Tried thesaurus for "extend", the main other word seemed "spread" (but it is very different from the current choice). > Does my proposed meaning of axis make more sense to you than the one > used by mask_rowcols? It does to me (although I hardly ever use masked arrays). The `axis` argument usually denotes the axis being operated on/along. - Sebastian > _______________________________________________ > NumPy-Discussion mailing list > NumPy-Discussion@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
