image_kernel

sherpa.astro.ui.image_kernel(id=None, newframe=False, tile=False)

Display the 2D kernel for a data set in the image viewer.

The image viewer is automatically started if it is not already open.

Parameters:

• id (int or str, optional) – The data set. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by get_default_id.
• newframe (bool, optional) – Create a new frame for the data? If False, the default, then the data will be displayed in the current frame.
• tile (bool, optional) – Should the frames be tiles? If False, the default, then only a single frame is displayed.

Raises:

sherpa.utils.err.IdentifierErr – If the data set does not exist.
