contour_data

sherpa.astro.ui.contour_data(id: IdType | None = None, replot=False, overcontour=False, **kwargs) → None

Contour the values of an image data set.

Parameters:

id (int, str, or None, 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 contour_data. The default is False.
overcontour (bool, optional) – If True then add the data to an existing plot, otherwise create a new contour plot. The default is False.

See also

get_data_contour: Return the data used by contour_data.
get_data_contour_prefs: Return the preferences for contour_data.
get_default_id: Return the default data set identifier.
contour: Create one or more plot types.

Examples

Plot the data from the default data set:

>>> contour_data()

Contour the data and then overplot the data from the second data set:

>>> contour_data()
>>> contour_data(2, overcontour=True)
