get_resid_prof_prefs

Synopsis

The plot preferences for radial or elliptical profiles of the residuals (data - model) to imaging data.

get_resid_prof_prefs()

Description

The get_resid_prof_prefs() command returns the preferences for the residuals in plots created by the prof_resid() and prof_fit_resid() commands. Changing the values will not change existing plots, only new plots created after the change was made. For example

sherpa> get_resid_prof_prefs()["xlog"] = True

will cause any new plots to use logarithmic scaling for the X axis.

Loading the routine

The routine can be loaded into Sherpa by saying:

from sherpa_contrib.profiles import *

Example

sherpa> prof_resid()
sherpa> plt.xscale('log')
...
sherpa> prefs = get_resid_prof_prefs()
sherpa> prefs['xlog'] = True
sherpa> prefs['xaxis'] = False
sherpa> prof_resid()

The preferences are set so that the x axis should be drawn using log scaling and no line is drawn at y=0. Setting the get_resid_prof_prefs values only affects plots made after the change; to change an existing plot you need to use Matplotlib commands such as xscale().

Bugs

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