show_xsabund

sherpa.astro.ui.show_xsabund(outfile=None, clobber: bool = False) None

Show the XSPEC abundance values.

Added in version 4.17.0.

Parameters:
  • outfile (str, file-like, or None, optional) – If not given the results are displayed to the screen, otherwise it is the file name (string) or file-like object to write the results to.

  • clobber (bool, optional) – If outfile is not None, then this flag controls whether an existing file can be overwritten (True) or if it raises an exception (False, the default setting).
