get_proj_opt

sherpa.ui.get_proj_opt(name=None)

Return one or all of the options for the confidence interval method.

Note

The conf function should be used instead of proj.

This is a helper function since the options can also be read directly using the object returned by get_proj.

Parameters

Returns

value

Return type

dictionary or value

Raises

sherpa.utils.err.ArgumentErr – If the name argument is not recognized.
