get_model_contour

sherpa.astro.ui.get_model_contour(id: IdType | None = None, recalc=True)

Return the data used by contour_model.

Parameters:

• id (int, str, or None, optional) – The data set. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by get_default_id.

• recalc (bool, optional) – If False then the results from the last call to contour_model (or get_model_contour) are returned, otherwise the data is re-generated.

Returns:

model_data – The y attribute contains the model values and the x0 and x1 arrays contain the corresponding coordinate values, as one-dimensional arrays.

Return type:

a sherpa.plot.ModelContour instance

Raises:

• sherpa.utils.err.DataErr – If the data set is not 2D.

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