contour_source

Context: visualization

Synopsis

Create a contour plot of the unconvolved spatial model.

Syntax

contour_source(id=None, replot=False, overcontour=False, **kwargs)

Description

Displays a contour plot of the values of the model, evaluated on the data, without any PSF kernel convolution applied. The preferences are the same as `contour_model` .


Examples

Example 1

Plot the model from the default data set:

>>> contour_source()

Example 2

Compare the model without and with the PSF component, for the "img" data set:

>>> contour_model("img")
>>> contour_source("img", overcontour=True)

PARAMETERS

The parameters for this function are:

Parameter Type information Definition
id int, str, or None, optional The data set that provides the model. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` .
replot bool, optional Set to True to use the values calculated by the last call to `contour_source` . The default is False .
overcontour bool, optional If True then add the data to an existing plot, otherwise create a new contour plot. The default is False .
