ak.materialize(array, highlevel=True, behavior=None, attrs=None)#
Parameters:

  • array – array_like An array with possible virtual buffers materialize.

  • highlevel (bool, default is True) – If True, return an ak.Array; otherwise, return a low-level ak.contents.Content subclass.

  • attrs (None or dict) – Custom attributes for the output array, if high-level.

Traverses the input array and materializes any virtual buffers. The buffers of the returned array are no longer VirtualArray objects. They will become either numpy.ndarray or cupy.ndarray objects depending on the array’s backend. Possible inputs that will be traversed are instances of ak.Array, ak.Record, ak.contents.Content, and ak.record.Record. All other types of inputs will be returned as is.
