AHELP for CIAO 4.16 Sherpa

get_data_prof

Context: contrib

Synopsis

Return the data used to create the radial or elliptical profile of imaging data.

Syntax

get_data_prof( [id], [model=None, rstep=None, rmin=None, rmax=None,
rlo=None, rhi=None, xpos=None, ypos=None, ellip=None, theta=None,
group_counts=None, group_snr=None, recalc=True] )

Description

The get_data_prof() command calculates the radial - or elliptical - profile of the imaging data and returns an object containing the values. The profile is defined by the existing model compenents, although it is possible to over-ride these values.

Loading the routine

The routine can be loaded into Sherpa by saying:

from sherpa_contrib.profiles import *

Argument options

The argument options are the same as for the prof_data() command - except that the overplot and label arguments are not supported - and are described in its ahelp page.

Fields returned by get_data_prof

The following table lists the fields in the object returned by the get_data_prof() command. These values can also be seen by using the print command on the object:

sherpa> d = get_data_prof(rstep=10)
sherpa> print (d)
Field name Description
xlo The lower-limits of the radial bins
xhi The upper-limits of the radial bins
y The calculated profile value (sum of data / area)
yerr The error on y
xlabel The label for the X axis
ylabel The label for the Y axis
labels The labels giving the profile parameters
title The plot title
histo_prefs The preferences for the plot

Examples

Example 1

sherpa> d10 = get_data_prof(group_snr=10)
sherpa> d20 = get_data_prof(group_snr=20)

Two profiles of the same dataset are calculated; d10 uses a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 and d20 a value of 20.

Example 2

sherpa> prof_data("src1", group_counts=100)
sherpa> da = get_data_prof(recalc=False)
sherpa> prof_data("src2", rlo=da.xlo, rhi=da.xhi, overplot=True)

A profile is calculated and displayed for the dataset "src1". The bin edges from this are then used to create a profile for the dataset "src2", which is overlain on the first plot. Note that recalc is set to False in the call to get_data_prof() to avoid unnescessary re-calculations.
