ak.from_categorical
Defined in awkward.behaviors.categorical on line 306.
- ak.from_categorical(array, highlevel=True)
- Parameters:
array – Awkward Array from which to remove the ‘categorical’ parameter.
highlevel (bool) – If True, return an
ak.Array; otherwise, return a low-levelak.layout.Contentsubclass.
This function replaces categorical data with non-categorical data (by removing the label that declares it as such).
This is a metadata-only operation; the running time does not scale with the size of the dataset. (Conversion to categorical is expensive; conversion from categorical is cheap.)
