check_broadcast

astropy.utils.shapes.check_broadcast(*shapes: tuple[int, ...]) → tuple[int, ...]

Deprecated since version 7.0: The check_broadcast function is deprecated and may be removed in a future version. Use np.broadcast_shapes instead.

Determines whether two or more Numpy arrays can be broadcast with each other based on their shape tuple alone.

Parameters:

*shapestuple

All shapes to include in the comparison. If only one shape is given it is passed through unmodified. If no shapes are given returns an empty tuple.

Returns:

broadcasttuple

If all shapes are mutually broadcastable, returns a tuple of the full broadcast shape.
