plot_ratio

sherpa.astro.ui.plot_ratio(id=None, **kwargs)

Plot the ratio of data to model for a data set.

This function displays the ratio data / model 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_ratio. 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.IdentifierErr – If the data set does not exist or a source expression has not been set.
