dataspace1d

Synopsis

Create a blank 1D dataset

dataspace1d( start, stop, [step=1, numbins, id, bkg_id=None,
dstype=Data1DInt] )

Description

The dataspace1d command creates a blank 1D integrated dataset with the specified grid. Alternatively, it can be used to create a PHA background data set. To create 2D data, use the dataspace2d command ("ahelp dataspace2d").

• start - the minimum value for the grid
• stop - the maximum value for the grid
• step - the step size between grid points (default=1); an alternative is to specify the number of bins.
• numbins - the number of bins to create (default=None); an alternative is to specify the step size.
• id - the id of the dataset to use; if not given, uses the default dataset id (id=1 by default, see "ahelp get_default_id").
• bkg_id - the id of the background, if creating background data; default is the first background associated with the id
• dstype - dataset type: Data1D, Data1DInt (the default), or DataPHA

Example 1

sherpa> dataspace1d(0.1,10,0.1)

Create a blank dataset over the range 0.1:10 with a step size of 0.1

Example 2

sherpa> dataspace1d(0.1,10,numbins=200)

Create a blank dataset with 200 bins over the range 0.1:10.

Example 3

sherpa> dataspace1d(1, 5, dstype=Data1D)

Create a dataset with dstype=Data1D over the range 1:5; the default step size is used.

Example 4

sherpa> dataspace1d(0.1, 10, 0.01, dstype=DataPHA)

Create a blank PHA dataset over the range 0.1 to 10 with a step size of 0.01. The id defaults to 1.

Example 5

sherpa> dataspace1d(0.1, 10, 0.01, id=2, dstype=DataPHA)
sherpa> dataspace1d(0.1, 10, 0.01, id=1, bkg_id=1, dstype=DataPHA)

Here we create a blank PHA for dataset id 2 and also create an associated background dataset for it, with a background id of 1.
