mlx.data.Buffer.pad

Buffer.pad(self: mlx.data._c.Buffer, key: str, dim: int, lpad: int, rpad: int, pad_value: float, output_key: str = '') → mlx.data._c.Buffer

Pad the array at key.

The following example inserts a space character at the beginning of the array at key ‘text’.

dset = dset.pad("text", 0, 1, 0, ord(" "))

Parameters:

• key (str) – The sample key that contains the array we are operating on.

• dim (int) – Which dimension of the array to pad.

• lpad (int) – How many positions to pad on the left (beginning) of the array.

• rpad (int) – How many positions to pad on the right (end) of the array.

• pad_value (float) – What to pad with.

• output_key (str) – The key to store the result in. If it is an empty string then overwrite the input. (default: ‘’)
