 def to_records(self, index=True, convert_datetime64=None, column_dtypes=None, index_dtypes=None):
 """ Convert DataFrame to a NumPy record array. Index will be included as the first field of the record array if requested. Parameters index : bool, default True Include index in resulting record array, stored in 'index' field or using the index label, if set. convert_datetime64 : bool, default None .. deprecated:: 0.23.0 Whether to convert the index to datetime.datetime if it is a DatetimeIndex. column_dtypes : str, type, dict, default None .. versionadded:: 0.24.0 If a string or type, the data type to store all columns. If a dictionary, a mapping of column names and indices (zero-indexed) to specific data types. index_dtypes : str, type, dict, default None .. versionadded:: 0.24.0 If a string or type, the data type to store all index levels. If a dictionary, a mapping of index level names and indices (zero-indexed) to specific data types. This mapping is applied only if `index=True`. Returns ------- numpy.recarray NumPy ndarray with the DataFrame labels as fields and each row of the DataFrame as entries. See Also -------- DataFrame.from_records: Convert structured or record ndarray to DataFrame. numpy.recarray: An ndarray that allows field access using attributes, analogous to typed columns in a spreadsheet. Examples -------- A B a 1 0.50 b 2 0.75 rec.array([('a', 1, 0.5 ), ('b', 2, 0.75)], dtype=[('index', 'O'), ('A', '<i8'), ('B', '<f8')]) If the DataFrame index has no label then the recarray field name is set to 'index'. If the index has a label then this is used as the field name: rec.array([('a', 1, 0.5 ), ('b', 2, 0.75)], dtype=[('I', 'O'), ('A', '<i8'), ('B', '<f8')]) The index can be excluded from the record array: rec.array([(1, 0.5 ), (2, 0.75)], dtype=[('A', '<i8'), ('B', '<f8')]) Data types can be specified for the columns: rec.array([('a', 1, 0.5 ), ('b', 2, 0.75)], dtype=[('I', 'O'), ('A', '<i4'), ('B', '<f8')]) As well as for the index: rec.array([(b'a', 1, 0.5 ), (b'b', 2, 0.75)], dtype=[('I', 'S2'), ('A', '<i8'), ('B', '<f8')]) rec.array([(b'a', 1, 0.5 ), (b'b', 2, 0.75)], dtype=[('I', 'S1'), ('A', '<i8'), ('B', '<f8')]) """
