plot_bkg_model¶

sherpa.astro.ui.plot_bkg_model(id=None, bkg_id=None, **kwargs)¶

Plot the model for the background of a PHA data set.

This function plots the model for the background of a PHA data set, which includes any instrument response (the ARF and RMF).

Parameters:

id (int or str, optional) – The data set that provides the data. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by get_default_id.
bkg_id (int or str, optional) – Identify the background component to use, if there are multiple ones associated with the data set.
replot (bool, optional) – Set to True to use the values calculated by the last call to plot_bkg_model. The default is False.
overplot (bool, optional) – If True then add the data to an exsiting plot, otherwise create a new plot. The default is False.

Raises:

sherpa.utils.err.ArgumentErr – If the data set does not contain PHA data.
sherpa.utils.err.IdentifierErr – If the bkg_id parameter is invalid.
sherpa.utils.err.ModelErr – If no model expression has been created for the background data.
