AHELP for Sherpa 4.0 Beta image_data Context: py.sherpa

Synopsis

Send image of the data to the imager.

Syntax

image_data( [ id=1, [newframe=False, tile=False]] )

Description

Sends an image of the data to the imager--by default, DS9. The data set is a 2-D data set. If no data set ID is given, by default the first data set is sent.

Example

sherpa> image_data()
sherpa> image_data(1)
sherpa> image_data(1, newframe=True, tile=False)

The image_data function can be called with no arguments, in which case an image of the first data set is sent to the imager. By default, the image is sent to the same frame (newframe=False) and the frames are not tiled (tile=False). These options can be overridden by setting these keywords to True.

Bugs

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