# scipy.signal.argrelmax

`scipy.signal.``argrelmax`(data, axis=0, order=1, mode='clip')

  Calculate the relative maxima of data.

  Parameters: | data : ndarray Array in which to find the relative maxima. axis : int, optional Axis over which to select from data. Default is 0. order : int, optional How many points on each side to use for the comparison to consider `comparator(n, n+x)` to be True. mode : str, optional How the edges of the vector are treated. Available options are ‘wrap’ (wrap around) or ‘clip’ (treat overflow as the same as the last (or first) element). Default ‘clip’. See `numpy.take`.
  Returns: | extrema : tuple of ndarrays Indices of the maxima in arrays of integers. `extrema[k]` is the array of indices of axis k of data. Note that the return value is a tuple even when data is one-dimensional.

  Notes

  This function uses `argrelextrema` with np.greater as comparator.

  New in version 0.11.0.

  Examples

      >>> from scipy.signal import argrelmax
      >>> x = np.array([2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 0, 1, 0])
      >>> argrelmax(x)
      (array([3, 6]),)
      >>> y = np.array([[1, 2, 1, 2],
      ...               [2, 2, 0, 0],
      ...               [5, 3, 4, 4]])
      ...
      >>> argrelmax(y, axis=1)
      (array([0]), array([1]))
