# Constant
<Class id="qiskit.pulse.Constant" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.18/qiskit/pulse/library/parametric_pulses.py" signature="Constant(duration, amp, name=None)" modifiers="class">
Bases: `qiskit.pulse.library.parametric_pulses.ParametricPulse`
A simple constant pulse, with an amplitude value and a duration:
$$
f(x) = amp , 0 <= x < duration
f(x) = 0 , elsewhere
$$
Initialize the constant-valued pulse.
**Parameters**
* **duration** (`Union`\[`int`, `ParameterExpression`]) Pulse length in terms of the the sampling period dt.
* **amp** (`Union`\[`complex`, `ParameterExpression`]) The amplitude of the constant square pulse.
* **name** (`Optional`\[`str`]) Display name for this pulse envelope.
## Methods
<span id="qiskit-pulse-constant-assign" />
### assign
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.Constant.assign" signature="Constant.assign(parameter, value)">
Assign one parameter to a value, which can either be numeric or another parameter expression.
**Return type**
`ParametricPulse`
</Function>
<span id="qiskit-pulse-constant-assign-parameters" />
### assign\_parameters
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.Constant.assign_parameters" signature="Constant.assign_parameters(value_dict)">
Return a new ParametricPulse with parameters assigned.
**Parameters**
**value\_dict** (`Dict`\[`ParameterExpression`, `Union`\[`ParameterExpression`, `float`]]) A mapping from Parameters to either numeric values or another Parameter expression.
**Return type**
`ParametricPulse`
**Returns**
New pulse with updated parameters.
</Function>
<span id="qiskit-pulse-constant-draw" />
### draw
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.Constant.draw" signature="Constant.draw(dt=None, style=None, filename=None, interp_method=None, scale=None, interactive=None, draw_title=None, backend=None, time_range=None, time_unit='dt', show_waveform_info=True, plotter='mpl2d', axis=None)">
Plot the interpolated envelope of pulse.
**Parameters**
* **style** (`Optional`\[`Dict`\[`str`, `Any`]]) Stylesheet options. This can be dictionary or preset stylesheet classes. See :py:class:\~\`qiskit.visualization.pulse\_v2.stylesheets.IQXStandard\`, :py:class:\~\`qiskit.visualization.pulse\_v2.stylesheets.IQXSimple\`, and :py:class:\~\`qiskit.visualization.pulse\_v2.stylesheets.IQXDebugging\` for details of preset stylesheets.
* **backend** (*Optional\[*[*BaseBackend*](qiskit.providers.BaseBackend "qiskit.providers.BaseBackend")*]*) Backend object to play the input pulse program. If provided, the plotter may use to make the visualization hardware aware.
* **time\_range** (`Optional`\[`Tuple`\[`int`, `int`]]) Set horizontal axis limit. Tuple `(tmin, tmax)`.
* **time\_unit** (`str`) The unit of specified time range either `dt` or `ns`. The unit of `ns` is available only when `backend` object is provided.
* **show\_waveform\_info** (`bool`) Show waveform annotations, i.e. name, of waveforms. Set `True` to show additional information about waveforms.
* **plotter** (`str`)
Name of plotter API to generate an output image. One of following APIs should be specified:
```python
mpl2d: Matplotlib API for 2D image generation.
Matplotlib API to generate 2D image. Charts are placed along y axis with
vertical offset. This API takes matplotlib.axes.Axes as `axis` input.
```
axis and style kwargs may depend on the plotter.
* **axis** (`Optional`\[`Any`]) Arbitrary object passed to the plotter. If this object is provided, the plotters use a given `axis` instead of internally initializing a figure object. This object format depends on the plotter. See plotter argument for details.
* **dt** (`Optional`\[`Any`]) Deprecated. This argument is used by the legacy pulse drawer.
* **filename** (`Optional`\[`Any`]) Deprecated. This argument is used by the legacy pulse drawer. To save output image, you can call .savefig method with returned Matplotlib Figure object.
* **interp\_method** (`Optional`\[`Any`]) Deprecated. This argument is used by the legacy pulse drawer.
* **scale** (`Optional`\[`Any`]) Deprecated. This argument is used by the legacy pulse drawer.
* **interactive** (`Optional`\[`Any`]) Deprecated. This argument is used by the legacy pulse drawer.
* **draw\_title** (`Optional`\[`Any`]) Deprecated. This argument is used by the legacy pulse drawer.
**Returns**
Visualization output data. The returned data type depends on the `plotter`. If matplotlib family is specified, this will be a `matplotlib.pyplot.Figure` data.
