Synopsis

Opens the image display window.

Syntax

where IMAGE is the imaging window (see the IMAGE command).

Description

Note: If there is no open imaging window, giving any IMAGE command will lead to the creation of one. Similarly, if there is no open plotting window, giving a LPLOT, CPLOT, or SPLOT command will lead to the creation of one.

See the CLOSE command for information on closing an image display window. Note also that image display windows, as well as plotting display windows, may be closed simply by closing the window with a mouse click.

See the Sherpa Display Chapter for further information regarding data display capabilities within Sherpa.
