image_model

Context: modeling

Synopsis

Display the model for a data set in the image viewer.

Syntax

image_model(id=None, newframe=False, tile=False)

Description

This function evaluates and displays the model expression for a data set, including any instrument response (e.g. PSF or ARF and RMF) whether created automatically or with `set_full_model` .

The image viewer is automatically started if it is not already open.


Examples

Example 1

Display the model for the default data set.

>>> image_model()

Example 2

Display the model for data set 2 in a new frame so that the data in the current frame is not destroyed. The new data will be displayed in a single frame (i.e. the only data shown by the viewer).

>>> image_model(2, newframe=True)

Example 3

Display the models for data sets 'i1' and 'i2' side by side:

>>> image_model('i1')
>>> image_model('i2', newframe=True, tile=True)

PARAMETERS

The parameters for this function are:

Parameter Type information Definition
id int, str, or None, optional The data set. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` .
newframe bool, optional Create a new frame for the data? If False , the default, then the data will be displayed in the current frame.
tile bool, optional Should the frames be tiles? If False , the default, then only a single frame is displayed.

Notes

Image visualization is optional, and provided by the DS9 application.
