Synopsis
Describe a model expression.
Syntax
get_model_type(model)
Examples
Example 1
>>> create_model_component("powlaw1d", "pl")
>>> get_model_type("pl")
'powlaw1d'Example 2
For expressions containing more than one component, the result is likely to be 'binaryopmodel'
>>> get_model_type(const1d.norm * (polynom1d.poly + gauss1d.gline)) 'binaryopmodel'
Example 3
For sources with some form of an instrument model - such as a PSF convolution for an image or a PHA file with response information from the ARF and RMF - the response can depend on whether the expression contains this extra information or not:
>>> get_model_type(get_source('spec'))
'binaryopmodel'
>>> get_model_type(get_model('spec'))
'rspmodelpha'PARAMETERS
The parameter for this function is:
| Parameter | Type information |
|---|---|
| model | str or a sherpa.models.model.Model object |
Return value

type -- The name of the model expression.
