get_source_image

sherpa.astro.ui.get_source_image(id: IdType | None = None)

Return the data used by image_source.

Evaluate the source expression for the image pixels - without any PSF convolution - and return the results.

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.

Returns:

src_img – The y attribute contains the source model values as a 2D NumPy array.

Return type:

a sherpa.image.SourceImage instance

Raises:

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

>>> sinfo = get_source_image()
>>> sinfo.y.shape
(150, 175)
