get_coord

Synopsis

Return the coordinate system of an image

get_coord( [id] )

Description

The get_coord() command returns a string identifying the coordinate system of an image loaded in a Sherpa session, by data set ID. The possible string values are 'logical', 'physical', 'world', 'image' (same as logical), and 'wcs' (same as world). The set_coord() command can be used to change the coordinate system of an image.

• id - the id of the 2-dimensional data set to use; if not given, uses the default dataset id (id=1 by default, see "ahelp get_default_id")

Example 1

sherpa> get_coord()

When called with no arguments, the get_coord() command returns the coordinate system of the default data set 1.

sherpa> get_coord()
          'logical'

Example 2

sherpa> get_coord(3)

A string identifying the coordinate system of data set 3 is returned.

sherpa> get_coord(3)
          'world'
