Args
`data_format`	A string, one of `"channels_last"` (default) or `"channels_first"`. The ordering of the dimensions in the inputs. `"channels_last"` corresponds to inputs with shape `(batch, ..., channels)` while `"channels_first"` corresponds to inputs with shape `(batch, channels, ...)`. When unspecified, uses `image_data_format` value found in your Keras config file at `~/.keras/keras.json` (if exists). Defaults to `"channels_last"`.

Args

data_format A string, one of "channels_last" (default) or "channels_first". The ordering of the dimensions in the inputs. "channels_last" corresponds to inputs with shape (batch, ..., channels) while "channels_first" corresponds to inputs with shape (batch, channels, ...). When unspecified, uses image_data_format value found in your Keras config file at ~/.keras/keras.json (if exists). Defaults to "channels_last".

Example:

x = keras.Input(shape=(10, 64))
y = keras.layers.Flatten()(x)
y.shape
(None, 640)

Attributes
`input`	Retrieves the input tensor(s) of a symbolic operation. Only returns the tensor(s) corresponding to the first time the operation was called.
`output`	Retrieves the output tensor(s) of a layer. Only returns the tensor(s) corresponding to the first time the operation was called.

Attributes

input

Retrieves the input tensor(s) of a symbolic operation.

Only returns the tensor(s) corresponding to the first time the operation was called.

output

Retrieves the output tensor(s) of a layer.

Only returns the tensor(s) corresponding to the first time the operation was called.

Methods

`from_config`

View source

@classmethod
from_config(
    config
)

Creates a layer from its config.

This method is the reverse of get_config, capable of instantiating the same layer from the config dictionary. It does not handle layer connectivity (handled by Network), nor weights (handled by set_weights).

Args
`config`	A Python dictionary, typically the output of get_config.

Returns
A layer instance.
