Subexpression class

(Shortest import: from brian2.core.variables import Subexpression)

class brian2.core.variables.Subexpression(name, owner, expr, device, dimensions=Dimension(), dtype=None, scalar=False)[source]

Bases: brian2.core.variables.Variable

An object providing information about a named subexpression in a model. Most of the time Variables.add_subexpression should be used instead of instantiating this class directly.

Parameters:

name : str

The name of the subexpression.

dimensions : Dimension, optional

The physical dimensions of the subexpression.

owner : Group

The group to which the expression refers.

expr : str

The subexpression itself.

device : Device

The device responsible for the memory access.

dtype : dtype, optional

The dtype used for the expression. Defaults to core.default_float_dtype.

scalar: bool, optional :

Whether this is an expression only referring to scalar variables. Defaults to False
