plot_source

sherpa.ui.plot_source(id=None, **kwargs)

Plot the source expression for a data set.

This function plots the source model for a data set. This does not include any instrument response (e.g. a convolution created by set_psf).

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.
• replot (bool, optional) – Set to True to use the values calculated by the last call to plot_source. 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.

Examples

Plot the unconvolved source model for the default data set:

>>> plot_source()

Overplot the source model for data set 2 on data set 1:

>>> plot_source(1)
>>> plot_source(2, overplot=True)
