Behavior of models

 
While the behavoir of most simple models, i.e. how the spectral energy distribution (SED) changes when you vary a model parameter, is intuitively obvious, the same cannot be said about some of the complicated models.

In order to visualize the behavior of some of models, what I have done here is basically take the default parameter values when the model is loaded by XSPEC/ISIS, pick a parameter and vary it, keeping all other parameters constant. The simple Gaussian lime emission model zgauss is included just to show the effect of redshift on spectra.
