     set_string_function(f, repr=1)
 
-    Set a Python function to be used when pretty printing arrays.
-
-    Parameters
-    ----------
-    f : function or None
-        Function to be used to pretty print arrays. The function should expect
-        a single array argument and return a string of the representation of
-        the array. If None, the function is reset to the default NumPy function
-        to print arrays.
-    repr : bool, optional
-        If True (default), the function for pretty printing (``__repr__``)
-        is set, if False the function that returns the default string
-        representation (``__str__``) is set.
-
-    See Also
-    --------
-    set_printoptions, get_printoptions
-
-    Examples
-    --------
-    >>> def pprint(arr):
-    ...     return 'HA! - What are you going to do now?'
-    ...
-    >>> np.set_string_function(pprint)
-    >>> a = np.arange(10)
-    >>> a
-    HA! - What are you going to do now?
-    >>> print a
-    [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
-
-    We can reset the function to the default:
-
-    >>> np.set_string_function(None)
-    >>> a
-    array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], 'l')
-
-    `repr` affects either pretty printing or normal string representation.
-    Note that ``__repr__`` is still affected by setting ``__str__``
-    because the width of each array element in the returned string becomes
-    equal to the length of the result of ``__str__()``.
-
-    >>> x = np.arange(4)
-    >>> np.set_string_function(lambda x:'random', repr=False)
-    >>> x.__str__()
-    'random'
-    >>> x.__repr__()
-    'array([     0,      1,      2,      3])'
+    Internal method to set a function to be used when pretty printing arrays.
