""" Convert floating point array `arr` to type `int_type`
* Rounds numbers to nearest integer
* Clips values to prevent overflows when casting
* Converts NaN to 0 (for `nan2zero` == True)
Casting floats to integers is delicate because the result is undefined
and platform specific for float values outside the range of `int_type`.
Define ``shared_min`` to be the minimum value that can be exactly
represented in both the float type of `arr` and `int_type`. Define
`shared_max` to be the equivalent maximum value. To avoid undefined results
we threshold `arr` at ``shared_min`` and ``shared_max``.
Parameters
----------
arr : array-like
Array of floating point type
int_type : object
Numpy integer type
nan2zero : {True, False, None}
Whether to convert NaN value to zero. Default is True. If False, and
NaNs are present, raise CastingError. If None, do not check for NaN
values and pass through directly to the ``astype`` casting mechanism.
In this last case, the resulting value is undefined.
infmax : {False, True}
If True, set np.inf values in `arr` to be `int_type` integer maximum
value, -np.inf as `int_type` integer minimum. If False, set +/- infs to
be ``shared_min``, ``shared_max`` as defined above. Therefore False
gives faster conversion at the expense of infs that are further from
infinity.
Returns
-------
iarr : ndarray
of type `int_type`
Examples
--------
>>> float_to_int([np.nan, np.inf, -np.inf, 1.1, 6.6], np.int16)
array([ 0, 32767, -32768, 1, 7], dtype=int16)
Notes
-----
Numpy relies on the C library to cast from float to int using the standard
``astype`` method of the array.
Quoting from section F4 of the C99 standard:
If the floating value is infinite or NaN or if the integral part of the
floating value exceeds the range of the integer type, then the
"invalid" floating-point exception is raised and the resulting value
is unspecified.
Hence we threshold at ``shared_min`` and ``shared_max`` to avoid casting to
values that are undefined.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C99 . There are links to the C99 standard
from that page.
