get_source

sherpa.ui.get_source(id=None)

Return the source model expression for a data set.

This returns the model expression created by set_model or set_source. It does not include any instrument response.

Parameters:id (int or str, optional) – The data set containing the source expression. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by get_default_id. Returns:model – This can contain multiple model components. Changing attributes of this model changes the model used by the data set. Return type:a sherpa.models.Model object
