# GCXS¶

class sparse.GCXS(arg, shape=None, compressed_axes=None, prune=False, fill_value=0)[source]

A sparse multidimensional array.

This is stored in GCXS format, a generalization of the GCRS/GCCS formats from ‘Efficient storage scheme for n-dimensional sparse array: GCRS/GCCS’: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7237032. GCXS generalizes the csr/csc sparse matrix formats. For arrays with ndim == 2, GCXS is the same csr/csc. For arrays with ndim >2, any combination of axes can be compressed, significantly reducing storage.

Parameters
• arg (tuple (data, indices, indptr)) – A tuple of arrays holding the data, indices, and index pointers for the nonzero values of the array.

• shape (tuple[int] (COO.ndim,)) – The shape of the array.

• compressed_axes (Iterable[int]) – The axes to compress.

• prune (bool, optional) – A flag indicating whether or not we should prune any fill-values present in the data array.

• fill_value (scalar, optional) – The fill value for this array.
