show_bkg_source

Context: info

Synopsis

Display the background model expression for a data set.

Syntax

show_bkg_source(id=None, bkg_id=None, outfile=None, clobber=False)

Description

This displays the background model for a data set, that is, the expression set by `set_bkg_model` or `set_bkg_source` , as well as the parameter values for the model. The `show_bkg_model` function displays the model that is fit to the data; that is, it includes any instrument responses.


PARAMETERS

The parameters for this function are:

Parameter Type information Definition
id int, str, or None, optional The data set. If not given then all background expressions are displayed.
bkg_id int, str, or None, optional The background component to display. The default is all components.
outfile str, optional If not given the results are displayed to the screen, otherwise it is taken to be the name of the file to write the results to.
clobber bool, optional If `outfile` is not none , then this flag controls whether an existing file can be overwritten ( True ) or if it raises an exception ( False , the default setting).

Bugs

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