get_kernel_plot

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

Return the data used by plot_kernel.

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 plot_kernel (or get_kernel_plot) are returned, otherwise the data is re-generated.

Returns:

Raises:

sherpa.utils.err.IdentifierErr – If a PSF model has not been created for the data set.
