plot_bkg_fit_resid

Context: plotting

Synopsis

Plot the fit results, and the residuals, for the background of a PHA data set.

Syntax

plot_bkg_fit_resid(id=None, bkg_id=None, replot=False, overplot=False,
clearwindow=True, **kwargs)

id - int or str, optional
bkg_id - int or str, optional
replot - bool, optional
overplot - bool, optional
clearwindow - bool, optional

Description

This creates two plots - the first from `plot_bkg_fit` and the second from `plot_bkg_resid` - for a data set.


Example

Plot the background fit and residuals to the default data set:

>>> plot_bkg_fit_resid()

PARAMETERS

The parameters for this function are:

Parameter Definition
id The data set that provides the data. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` .
bkg_id Identify the background component to use, if there are multiple ones associated with the data set.
replot Set to True to use the values calculated by the last call to `plot_bkg_fit_resid` . The default is False .
overplot If True then add the data to an existing plot, otherwise create a new plot. The default is False .
clearwindow Should the existing plot area be cleared before creating this new plot (e.g. for multi-panel plots)?

Notes

For the residual plot, the ylog setting is ignored, and the Y axis is drawn using a linear scale.

Changes in CIAO

Changed in CIAO 4.13

The overplot option now works.

Changed in CIAO 4.12

The Y axis of the residual plot is now always drawn using a linear scale.
