obspy.io.csv.core._events2array

_events2array(events, **kw)

Convert ObsPy catalog to numpy array

All kwargs are passed to load_csv(), e.g. use only=(‘lat’, ‘lon’, ‘mag’) to get an array with lat, lon, mag parameters.

Example

>>> from obspy import read_events
>>> from obspy.io.csv import _events2array
>>> events = read_events()
>>> t = _events2array(events)
>>> print(t.dtype.names)
('id', 'time', 'lat', 'lon', 'dep', 'magtype', 'mag')
>>> print(t)
