Synopsis
Plot the background values for a PHA data set.
Syntax
plot_bkg(id=None, bkg_id=None, replot=False, overplot=False, clearwindow=True, **kwargs)
Examples
Example 1
Plot the background from the default data set:
>>> plot_bkg()
Example 2
Overplot the background from the 'jet' data set on the data. There is no scaling for differences in aperture or exposure time:
>>> plot_data('jet')
>>> plot_bkg('jet', overplot=True)Example 3
Compare the first two background components of data set 1:
>>> plot_bkg(1, 1) >>> plot_bkg(1, 2, overplot=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. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` . |
| bkg_id | int, str, or None, optional | Identify the background component to use, if there are multiple ones associated with the data set. |
| replot | bool, optional | Set to True to use the values calculated by the last call to `plot_bkg` . The default is False . |
| overplot | bool, optional | If True then add the data to an existing plot, otherwise create a new plot. The default is False . |
| clearwindow | bool, optional | Should the existing plot area be cleared before creating this new plot (e.g. for multi-panel plots)? |
