delete_model_component

sherpa.astro.ui.delete_model_component(name)

Delete a model component.

Parameters: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.

delete_model()

List the names of all the model components.

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.

Examples

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')
