contour_resid

Context: visualization

Synopsis

Contour the residuals of the fit.

Syntax

contour_resid(id=None, replot=False, overcontour=False, **kwargs)

id - int or str, optional
replot - bool, optional
overcontour - bool, optional

Description

The residuals are formed by subtracting the current model - including any PSF - from the data. The preferences are the same as `contour_data` .


Examples

Example 1

Plot the residuals from the default data set:

>>> contour_resid()

Example 2

Overplot the residuals on the model:

>>> contour_model('img')
>>> contour_resid('img', overcontour=True)

PARAMETERS

The parameters for this function are:

Parameter Definition
id The data set that provides the data and model. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` .
replot Set to True to use the values calculated by the last call to `contour_resid` . The default is False .
overcontour If True then add the data to an existing plot, otherwise create a new contour plot. The default is False .

Bugs

See the bugs pages on the Sherpa website for an up-to-date listing of known bugs.
