    Interpret the input as a matrix.

Unlike `matrix`, `asmatrix` does not make a copy if the input is already
    a matrix or an ndarray.  Equivalent to ``matrix(data, copy=False)``.

Parameters
    ----------
    data : array_like
        Input data.
    dtype : data-type
       Data-type of the output matrix.

Returns
    -------
    mat : matrix
        `data` interpreted as a matrix.

Examples
    --------
    >>> x = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])

>>> m = np.asmatrix(x)

>>> x[0,0] = 5

>>> m
    matrix([[5, 2],

.. note:: It is no longer recommended to use this class, even for linear

              in the future.

Returns a matrix from an array-like object, or from a string of data.
    A matrix is a specialized 2-D array that retains its 2-D nature
    through operations.  It has certain special operators, such as ``*``
    (matrix multiplication) and ``**`` (matrix power).

Parameters
    ----------
    data : array_like or string
       If `data` is a string, it is interpreted as a matrix with commas
       or spaces separating columns, and semicolons separating rows.
    dtype : data-type
       Data-type of the output matrix.
    copy : bool
       If `data` is already an `ndarray`, then this flag determines
       whether the data is copied (the default), or whether a view is
       constructed.

Parameters

Notes
        -----
        If `m` has a single column then that column is returned

Parameters

        order : {'C', 'F', 'A', 'K'}, optional

            'F' means to index the elements in Fortran-like index order, with
            the first index changing fastest, and the last index changing
            slowest. Note that the 'C' and 'F' options take no account of the
            memory layout of the underlying array, and only refer to the order
            of axis indexing.  'A' means to read the elements in Fortran-like
            index order if `m` is Fortran *contiguous* in memory, C-like order
            otherwise.  'K' means to read the elements in the order they occur
