plot_fit_resid

sherpa.astro.ui.plot_fit_resid(id=None, replot=False, overplot=False, clearwindow=True)

Plot the fit results, and the residuals, for a data set.

This creates two plots - the first from plot_fit and the second from plot_resid - for a data set.

Parameters:
  • id (int or str, optional) – The data set. 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_fit_resid. 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.
  • clearwindow (bool, optional) – When using ChIPS for plotting, should the existing frame be cleared before creating the plot?
Raises:

sherpa.utils.err.IdentifierErr – If the data set does not exist or a source expression has not been set.

Examples

Plot the results for the default data set:

>>> plot_fit_resid()

Overplot the ‘core’ results on those from the ‘jet’ data set, using a logarithmic scale for the X axis:

>>> set_xlog()
>>> plot_fit_resid('jet')
>>> plot_fit_resid('core', overplot=True)
