Parameters
----------
- dtype : data-type, optional
- Data-type descriptor of the returned view, e.g., float32 or int16.
- The default, None, results in the view having the same data-type
- as `a`.
+ dtype : data-type or ndarray sub-class, optional
+ Data-type descriptor of the returned view, e.g., float32 or int16. The
+ default, None, results in the view having the same data-type as `a`.
+ This argument can also be specified as an ndarray sub-class, which
+ then specifies the type of the returned object (this is equivalent to
+ setting the ``type`` parameter).
type : Python type, optional
Type of the returned view, e.g., ndarray or matrix. Again, the
default None results in type preservation.
