Configure INTERVAL-PROJECTION in Sherpa.
 
The Sherpa configuration variable (also called "state
object") sherpa.intproj contains settings of
INTERVAL-PROJECTION for plotting the fit statistic
as a function of parameter value, using the 
PROJECTION algorithm in Sherpa.
See ahelp INTERVAL-PROJECTION for more details.
 
The  sherpa.intproj  fields are specified in the table:
 
| fast | If 1, use a fast optimization algorithm
(LEVENBERG-MARQUARDT
or
SIMPLEX)
regardless of the current
METHOD.
If 0, use the current
METHOD. |  
| expfac | A multiplicative factor that expands the grid limits estimated by the
COVARIANCE
algorithm, if
the grid limits are determined automatically (see arange,
and below). |  
| arange | If 1, the grid limits are to be determined automatically.  If 0, the
grid limits are specified (see min and max). |  
| min | Specifies the grid minimum.
This is always a linear quantity, regardless of the setting of
log (see below).
The setting is ignored if arange = 1. |  
| max | Specifies the grid maximum.
This is always a linear quantity, regardless of the setting of
log (see below).
The setting is ignored if arange = 1. |  
| log | Specifies whether to use a linear (0) or
logarithmic (1) spacing of grid points. |  
| nloop | Specifies the number of grid points. |  
| sigma | Specifies the number of sigma 
(i.e., the change in statistic) for the plot. |  
To restore the default settings of the structure
at any time, use the Sherpa/S-Lang module function
 restore_intproj.
 
List the current and default values of the intproj structure,
and restore the default values:
 
sherpa> sherpa.intproj.arange = 0
sherpa> sherpa.intproj.log = 1
sherpa> sherpa.intproj.sigma = 5
sherpa> list_intproj
