finesse.components.general.Variable

Overview

class finesse.components.general.Variable(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: ModelElement

The variable element acts slightly different to other elements. When added to a model it creates a new finesse.parameter.Parameter in the model it has been added to. This does the same as calling finesse.model.Model.add_parameter(). This new parameter can be used like a variable for making symbolic links to or for storing some useful number about the model.

See finesse.model.Model.add_parameter() for more details.
