set_counts

Context: data

Synopsis

Set the dependent axis of a data set.

Syntax

set_counts(id, val=None, bkg_id=None)

Alias: set_dep

id - int or str, optional
val - array
bkg_id - int or str, optional

Examples

Example 1

Create a 1D data set with values at (0,4), (2,10), (4,12), (6,8), (8,2), and (10,12):

>>> dataspace1d(0, 10, 2, dstype=Data1D)
>>> set_dep([4, 10, 12, 8, 2, 12])

Example 2

Set the values for the source and background of the data set 'src':

>>> set_dep('src', y1)
>>> set_dep('src', bg1, bkg_id=1)

PARAMETERS

The parameters for this function are:

Parameter	Definition
id	The data set to use. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` .
val	The array of values for the dependent axis.
bkg_id	Set to identify which background component to set. The default value ( none ) means that this is for the source component of the data set.

Notes

The function does not follow the normal Python standards for parameter use, since it is designed for easy interactive use. When called with a single un-named argument, it is taken to be the `val` parameter. If given two un-named arguments, then they are interpreted as the `id` and `val` parameters, respectively.
