show_model

Description

The show_model command displays the convolved source model. To obtain the unconvolved model information, use the command show_source ("ahelp show_source").

• id - the id of the dataset to use; default is to show model information for all available datasets.
• outfile - name of the file in which to store the information
• clobber - a Boolean switch which indicates whether or not the 'outfile' should be overwritten, if the file already exists; default=False

The command output looks like:

Model: 1
apply_rmf(apply_arf((50000.0 * (xsphabs.abs1 * powlaw1d.p1))))

   p1.ampl      thawed  4.24936e-05            0  3.40282e+38

The behavior of the screen output is determined by the user's $PAGER environment variable setting, which is usually a variant of "more." To disable paging within show_all() - i.e. print the entire contents, even if it scrolls offscreen - change this setting to "cat" before starting Sherpa:

unix% setenv PAGER cat

unix% sherpa
