AHELP for CIAO 4.16 Sherpa

show_bkg_source

Context: info

Synopsis

Display the background model expression for a data set.

Syntax

show_bkg_source(id=None, bkg_id=None, outfile=None, clobber=False)

id - int or str, optional
bkg_id - int or str, optional
outfile - str, optional
clobber - bool, optional

Description

This displays the background model for a data set, that is, the expression set by `set_bkg_model` or `set_bkg_source` , as well as the parameter values for the model. The `show_bkg_model` function displays the model that is fit to the data; that is, it includes any instrument responses.


PARAMETERS

The parameters for this function are:

Parameter Definition
id The data set. If not given then all background expressions are displayed.
bkg_id The background component to display. The default is all components.
outfile If not given the results are displayed to the screen, otherwise it is taken to be the name of the file to write the results to.
clobber 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).

Bugs

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