# Gaussian
<Class id="qiskit.pulse.library.Gaussian" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.21/qiskit/pulse/library/symbolic_pulses.py" signature="Gaussian(duration, amp, sigma, name=None, limit_amplitude=None)" modifiers="class">
Bases: [`qiskit.pulse.library.symbolic_pulses.SymbolicPulse`](qiskit.pulse.library.SymbolicPulse "qiskit.pulse.library.symbolic_pulses.SymbolicPulse")
A lifted and truncated pulse envelope shaped according to the Gaussian function whose mean is centered at the center of the pulse (duration / 2):
$$
\begin{split}f'(x) &= \exp\Bigl( -\frac12 \frac{{(x - \text{duration}/2)}^2}{\text{sigma}^2} \Bigr)\\
f(x) &= \text{amp} \times \frac{f'(x) - f'(-1)}{1-f'(-1)}, \quad 0 \le x < \text{duration}\end{split}
$$
where $f'(x)$ is the gaussian waveform without lifting or amplitude scaling.
Create new pulse instance.
**Parameters**
* **duration** (`Union`\[`int`, [`ParameterExpression`](qiskit.circuit.ParameterExpression "qiskit.circuit.parameterexpression.ParameterExpression")]) Pulse length in terms of the sampling period dt.
* **amp** (`Union`\[`complex`, [`ParameterExpression`](qiskit.circuit.ParameterExpression "qiskit.circuit.parameterexpression.ParameterExpression")]) The amplitude of the Gaussian envelope.
* **sigma** (`Union`\[`float`, [`ParameterExpression`](qiskit.circuit.ParameterExpression "qiskit.circuit.parameterexpression.ParameterExpression")]) A measure of how wide or narrow the Gaussian peak is; described mathematically in the class docstring.
* **name** (`Optional`\[`str`]) Display name for this pulse envelope.
* **limit\_amplitude** (`Optional`\[`bool`]) If `True`, then limit the amplitude of the waveform to 1. The default is `True` and the amplitude is constrained to 1.
## Methods
### draw
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.library.Gaussian.draw" signature="Gaussian.draw(style=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 `IQXStandard`, `IQXSimple`, and `IQXDebugging` for details of preset stylesheets.
* **backend** (*Optional\[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.
**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.
</Function>
### get\_waveform
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.library.Gaussian.get_waveform" signature="Gaussian.get_waveform()">
Return a Waveform with samples filled according to the formula that the pulse represents and the parameter values it contains.
Since the returned array is a discretized time series of the continuous function, this method uses a midpoint sampler. For `duration`, return:
$$
\{f(t+0.5) \in \mathbb{C} | t \in \mathbb{Z} \wedge 0<=t<\texttt{duration}\}
$$
**Return type**
[`Waveform`](qiskit.pulse.library.Waveform "qiskit.pulse.library.waveform.Waveform")
**Returns**
A waveform representation of this pulse.
**Raises**
* [**PulseError**](pulse#qiskit.pulse.PulseError "qiskit.pulse.PulseError") When parameters are not assigned.
* [**PulseError**](pulse#qiskit.pulse.PulseError "qiskit.pulse.PulseError") When expression for pulse envelope is not assigned.
</Function>
### is\_parameterized
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.library.Gaussian.is_parameterized" signature="Gaussian.is_parameterized()">
Return True iff the instruction is parameterized.
**Return type**
`bool`
</Function>
### validate\_parameters
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.library.Gaussian.validate_parameters" signature="Gaussian.validate_parameters()">
Validate parameters.
**Raises**
[**PulseError**](pulse#qiskit.pulse.PulseError "qiskit.pulse.PulseError") If the parameters passed are not valid.
**Return type**
`None`
</Function>
