# plot_psf¶

sherpa.astro.ui.plot_psf(id=None, replot=False, overplot=False, clearwindow=True, **kwargs)

Plot the 1D PSF model applied to a data set.

The plot_kernel function shows the data used to convolve the model.

Parameters
• id (int or str, optional) – The data set. 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 plot_psf. The default is False.

• overplot (bool, optional) – If True then add the data to an exsiting plot, otherwise create a new plot. The default is False.

• clearwindow (bool, optional) – Should the existing plot area be cleared before creating this new plot (e.g. for multi-panel plots)?

Raises

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

get_psf_plot()

Return the data used by plot_psf.

get_default_id()

Return the default data set identifier.

plot()

Create one or more plot types.

plot_kernel()

Plot the 1D kernel applied to a data set.

set_psf()

Add a PSF model to a data set.

set_xlinear()

New plots will display a linear X axis.

set_xlog()

New plots will display a logarithmically-scaled X axis.

set_ylinear()

New plots will display a linear Y axis.

set_ylog()

New plots will display a logarithmically-scaled Y axis.

Examples

Create a model (a step function) that is convolved by a gaussian, and display the PSF:

>>> dataspace1d(1, 10, step=1, dstype=Data1D)
>>> set_model(steplo1d.stp)
>>> stp.xcut = 4.4
