:mod:`ulab` --- Manipulate numeric data similar to numpy
========================================================
.. module:: ulab
:synopsis: Manipulate numeric data similar to numpy
`ulab` is a numpy-like module for micropython, meant to simplify and
speed up common mathematical operations on arrays. The primary goal was to
implement a small subset of numpy that might be useful in the context of a
microcontroller. This means low-level data processing of linear (array) and
two-dimensional (matrix) data.
`ulab` is adapted from micropython-ulab, and the original project's
documentation can be found at
https://micropython-ulab.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
`ulab` is modeled after numpy, and aims to be a compatible subset where
possible. Numpy's documentation can be found at
https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/index.html
.. contents::
.. attribute:: __version__
The closest corresponding version of micropython-ulab
ulab.array -- 1- and 2- dimensional array
-----------------------------------------
.. class:: ulab.array(values, \*, dtype=float)
:param sequence values: Sequence giving the initial content of the array.
:param dtype: The type of array values, ``int8``, ``uint8``, ``int16``, ``uint16``, or ``float``
The `values` sequence can either be another ~ulab.array, sequence of numbers
(in which case a 1-dimensional array is created), or a sequence where each
subsequence has the same length (in which case a 2-dimensional array is
created).
Passing a ~ulab.array and a different dtype can be used to convert an array
from one dtype to another.
In many cases, it is more convenient to create an array from a function
like `zeros` or `linspace`.
`ulab.array` implements the buffer protocol, so it can be used in many
places an `array.array` can be used.
.. attribute:: shape
The size of the array, a tuple of length 1 or 2
.. attribute:: size
The number of elements in the array
.. attribute:: itemsize
The number of elements in the array
.. method:: flatten(\*, order='C')
:param order: Whether to flatten by rows ('C') or columns ('F')
Returns a new `ulab.array` object which is always 1 dimensional.
If order is 'C' (the default", then the data is ordered in rows;
If it is 'F', then the data is ordered in columns. "C" and "F" refer
to the typical storage organization of the C and Fortran languages.
.. method:: sort(\*, axis=1)
:param axis: Whether to sort elements within rows (0), columns (1), or elements (None)
.. method:: transpose()
Swap the rows and columns of a 2-dimensional array
.. method:: __add__()
Adds corresponding elements of the two arrays, or adds a number to all
elements of the array. If both arguments are arrays, their sizes must match.
.. method:: __sub__()
Subtracts corresponding elements of the two arrays, or adds a number to all
elements of the array. If both arguments are arrays, their sizes must match.
.. method:: __mul__()
Multiplies corresponding elements of the two arrays, or multiplies
all elements of the array by a number. If both arguments are arrays,
their sizes must match.
.. method:: __div__()
Multiplies corresponding elements of the two arrays, or divides
all elements of the array by a number. If both arguments are arrays,
their sizes must match.
.. method:: __pow__()
Computes the power (x**y) of corresponding elements of the the two arrays,
or one number and one array. If both arguments are arrays, their sizes
must match.
.. method:: __getitem__()
Retrieve an element of the array.
.. method:: __setitem__()
Set an element of the array.
Array type codes
----------------
.. attribute:: int8
Type code for signed integers in the range -128 .. 127 inclusive, like the 'b' typecode of `array.array`
.. attribute:: int16
Type code for signed integers in the range -32768 .. 32767 inclusive, like the 'h' typecode of `array.array`
.. attribute:: float
Type code for floating point values, like the 'f' typecode of `array.array`
.. attribute:: uint8
Type code for unsigned integers in the range 0 .. 255 inclusive, like the 'H' typecode of `array.array`
.. attribute:: uint16
Type code for unsigned integers in the range 0 .. 65535 inclusive, like the 'h' typecode of `array.array`

:mod:`ulab.filter` --- Filtering functions
==========================================
.. module:: ulab.filter
.. method:: convolve(r, c=None)
:param ulab.array a:
:param ulab.array v:
Returns the discrete, linear convolution of two one-dimensional sequences.
The result is always an array of float. Only the ``full`` mode is supported,
and the ``mode`` named parameter of numpy is not accepted. Note that all other
modes can be had by slicing a ``full`` result.
Convolution filters can implement high pass, low pass, band pass, etc.,
filtering operations. Convolution filters are typically constructed ahead
of time. This can be done using desktop python with scipy, or on web pages
such as https://fiiir.com/
Convolution is most time-efficient when both inputs are of float type.

See also ~ulab.extras.spectrum, which computes the magnitude of the fft,
rather than separately returning its real and imaginary parts.
