Hi Omry!
You're looking for `.view()`:
In [1]: import numpy as np
In [2]: b = np.arange(1, 13).astype(np.uint8)
In [4]: y = b.view(np.uint16).reshape((3, 2))
In [5]: y
Out[5]:
array([[ 513, 1027],
[1541, 2055],
[2569, 3083]], dtype=uint16)
You can also change the endianness by replacing `np.uint16` with `'>u2'`.
In [6]: z = b.view('>u2')
In [7]: z
Out[7]: array([ 258, 772, 1286, 1800, 2314, 2828], dtype=uint16)
Hope this helps!
Juan.
