get_source_image¶

sherpa.ui.get_source_image(id=None)¶

Return the data used by image_source.

Evaluate the source expression for the image pixels - without any PSF convolution - and return the results.

Parameters:	id (int or str, optional) – The data set. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by get_default_id.
Returns:	src_img – The `y` attribute contains the source model values as a 2D NumPy array.
Return type:	a sherpa.image.SourceImage instance
Raises:	`sherpa.utils.err.IdentifierErr` – If the data set does not exist or a source expression has not been set.

>>> sinfo.y.shape
