Synopsis
Delete a model component.
Syntax
delete_model_component(name)
Example
If a model instance called pl has been created - e.g. by create_model_component('powlaw1d', 'pl') - then the following will remove it:
>>> delete_model_component('pl')PARAMETERS
The parameter for this function is:
| Parameter | Type information | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| name | str | The name used to refer to this instance, or component, of the model. The corresponding Python variable will be deleted by this function. |
Notes
It is an error to try to delete a component that is part of a model expression - i.e. included as part of an expression in a `set_model` or `set_source` call. In such a situation, use the `delete_model` function to remove the source expression before calling `delete_model_component` .
Bugs
See the bugs pages on the Sherpa website for an up-to-date listing of known bugs.
