# scipy.optimize.show_options

`scipy.optimize.``show_options`(solver=None, method=None, disp=True)

  Show documentation for additional options of optimization solvers.

  These are method-specific options that can be supplied through the `options` dict.

  Parameters: | solver : str Type of optimization solver. One of ‘minimize’, ‘minimize_scalar’, ‘root’, or ‘linprog’. method : str, optional If not given, shows all methods of the specified solver. Otherwise, show only the options for the specified method. Valid values corresponds to methods’ names of respective solver (e.g. ‘BFGS’ for ‘minimize’). disp : bool, optional Whether to print the result rather than returning it.
  Returns: | text Either None (for disp=False) or the text string (disp=True)
