[docs]class OpticalPath:
"""Represents a path traversing through optical connections of a :class:`.Model`
instance.
The underlying data stored by instances of this class are lists of two-element
tuples containing optical nodes and the components that they connect into. This list
is formatted as `[(from_node, to_comp)]` where `from_node` is an
:class:`.OpticalNode` instance and `to_comp` can be any sub-class instance of
:class:`.Connector`; `from_node` is then an input node to `to_comp`.
A handle to the underlying list can be obtained through accessing the property
:attr:`OpticalPath.data`. This is not required for iterating through the path
entries however, as this class provides iterator access itself.
Parameters
----------
path : list
A list of 2-tuples containing the path data; first element stores the
:class:`.OpticalNode`, second element stores the component this node feeds into.
