restore

Synopsis

Restore a previous Sherpa session from a file

restore([filename=sherpa.save])

Description

The restore command restores all information about a Sherpa session, including the data, from a save file ("ahelp save"). The file is platform-independent, allowing collaborators to send a Sherpa session to one another.

• filename - name, including path, of the save file; default is "sherpa.save" in the working directory

Currently the session is stored as a binary file, so it cannot be viewed or modified outside of Sherpa. To save the output as an ASCII file, use the "save_all" command.

Example 1

sherpa> restore()

The session is restored from the default file, sherpa.save.

Example 2

sherpa> restore("/data/m31/model2.shp")

The session is restored from the file /data/m31/model2.shp.
