# Mapping

class astropy.modeling.mappings.Mapping(mapping, n_inputs=None, name=None, meta=None)

  Bases: `FittableModel`

  Allows inputs to be reordered, duplicated or dropped.

  Parameters:
    mapping `python:tuple`

      A tuple of integers representing indices of the inputs to this model to return and in what order to return them. See Advanced mappings for more details.

    n_inputs `python:int`

      Number of inputs; if `None` (default) then `max(mapping) + 1` is used (i.e. the highest input index used in the mapping).

    name `python:str`, optional

      A human-friendly name associated with this model instance (particularly useful for identifying the individual components of a compound model).

    meta dict-like

      Free-form metadata to associate with this model.

  Raises:
    `TypeError`

      Raised when number of inputs is less that `max(mapping)`.

  Examples

      >>> from astropy.modeling.models import Polynomial2D, Shift, Mapping
      >>> poly1 = Polynomial2D(1, c0_0=1, c1_0=2, c0_1=3)
      >>> poly2 = Polynomial2D(1, c0_0=1, c1_0=2.4, c0_1=2.1)
      >>> model = (Shift(1) & Shift(2)) | Mapping((0, 1, 0, 1)) | (poly1 & poly2)
      >>> model(1, 2)
      (17.0, 14.2)
