# spacepy.datamodel.fromRecArray

spacepy.datamodel.fromRecArray(recarr)

  Takes a numpy recarray and returns each field as a dmarray in a SpaceData container

  Parameters:
    recarr numpy record array

      object to parse into SpaceData container

  Returns:
    sd: spacepy.datamodel.SpaceData

      dict-like containing arrays of named records in recarr

  Examples

      >>> import numpy as np
      >>> import spacepy.datamodel as dm
      >>> x = np.array([(1.0, 2), (3.0, 4)], dtype=[('x', float), ('y', int)])
      >>> print(x, x.dtype)
      array([(1.0, 2), (3.0, 4)], dtype=[('x', '<f8'), ('y', '<i4')])
      >>> sd = dm.fromRecArray(x)
      >>> sd.tree(verbose=1)
      +
      |____x (spacepy.datamodel.dmarray (2,))
      |____y (spacepy.datamodel.dmarray (2,))
