contour_resid

Context: visualization

Synopsis

Contour the residuals of the fit.

Syntax

contour_resid(id=None, replot=False, overcontour=False, **kwargs)

Description

The residuals are formed by subtracting the current model - including any PSF - from the data. The preferences are the same as `contour_data` .


Examples

Example 1

Plot the residuals from the default data set:

>>> contour_resid()

Example 2

Overplot the residuals on the model:

>>> contour_model('img')
>>> contour_resid('img', overcontour=True)

PARAMETERS

The parameters for this function are:

Parameter Type information Definition
id int, str, or None, optional The data set that provides the data and model. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` .
replot bool, optional Set to True to use the values calculated by the last call to `contour_resid` . The default is False .
overcontour bool, optional If True then add the data to an existing plot, otherwise create a new contour plot. The default is False .

Bugs

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