end

Ending point of the data axis

Returns:If the data axis is ascending the end boundary is the last element of the hi array when the axis is integrated, otherwise it’s the last element of lo.

Conversely, for descending axes, the last element is either the first element of the hi array or of the lo array, depending on whether the axis is integrated or not, respectively.

Return type:number
is_ascending

Is the axis ascending?

Returns:The axis is ascending if the elements in lo are sorted in ascending order. Only the first and last elements are checked, and it is assumed that the elements are sorted.
Return type:bool
is_empty
Returns:Whether the axis is empty, i.e. if lo is None or an empty array.
Return type:bool
is_integrated

Is the axis integrated?

Returns:The axis is integrated is hi is not None and not empty.
Return type:bool
size

The size of the axis.

Returns:The size of the axis.
Return type:number
start

Starting point of the data axis

Returns:The first element in lo if the axis is ascending, or the last element otherwise.
Return type:number
