If I have a structured or a regular array, is the use of strides in
the following always correct for the length of the row memory?
I would like to do tostring() but on each row, by creating a string
view of the memory in a 1d array.
Thanks,
Josef
>>> tmp = np.random.randn(4,3)
>>> tmp.ravel().view('S'+str(tmp.strides[0]))
array(['j\x94gv\xa5\x80\xe6?=\xea\xa3\xcb\xb9w\...@4.\xa2j3\xe2\xee?',
