plot(energy_bounds, ax=None, sed_type='dnde', energy_power=0, n_points=100, **kwargs)

Plot spectral model curve.

kwargs are forwarded to matplotlib.pyplot.plot

By default a log-log scaling of the axes is used, if you want to change the y axis scaling to linear you can use:

from gammapy.modeling.models import ExpCutoffPowerLawSpectralModel
from astropy import units as u

pwl = ExpCutoffPowerLawSpectralModel()
ax = pwl.plot(energy_bounds=(0.1, 100) * u.TeV)
ax.set_yscale('linear')
Parameters
axAxes, optional

Axis

energy_boundsQuantity

Plot energy bounds passed to MapAxis.from_energy_bounds

sed_type{“dnde”, “flux”, “eflux”, “e2dnde”}

Evaluation methods of the model

energy_powerint, optional

Power of energy to multiply flux axis with

n_pointsint, optional

Number of evaluation nodes

**kwargsdict

Keyword arguments forwarded to plot

Returns
axAxes, optional

Axis

plot_error(energy_bounds, ax=None, sed_type='dnde', energy_power=0, n_points=100, **kwargs)

Plot spectral model error band.

Note

This method calls ax.set_yscale("log", nonpositive='clip') and ax.set_xscale("log", nonposx='clip') to create a log-log representation. The additional argument nonposx='clip' avoids artefacts in the plot, when the error band extends to negative values (see also https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/8623).

When you call plt.loglog() or plt.semilogy() explicitly in your plotting code and the error band extends to negative values, it is not shown correctly. To circumvent this issue also use plt.loglog(nonposx='clip', nonpositive='clip') or plt.semilogy(nonpositive='clip').

Parameters
axAxes, optional

Axis

energy_boundsQuantity

Plot energy bounds passed to MapAxis.from_energy_bounds

sed_type{“dnde”, “flux”, “eflux”, “e2dnde”}

Parameters
