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:

energy_boundsQuantity, list of Quantity or MapAxis: Energy bounds between which the model is to be plotted. Or an axis defining the energy bounds between which the model is to be plotted.
axAxes, optional: Matplotlib axes. Default is None.
sed_type{“dnde”, “flux”, “eflux”, “e2dnde”}: Evaluation methods of the model. Default is “dnde”.

n_pointsint, optional: Number of evaluation nodes. Default is 100.
**kwargsdict: Keyword arguments forwarded to plot.

Returns:

Notes

If energy_bounds is supplied as a list, tuple, or Quantity, an energy_axis is created internally with n_points bins between the given bounds.

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 matplotlib/matplotlib#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:

energy_boundsQuantity, list of Quantity or MapAxis: Energy bounds between which the model is to be plotted. Or an axis defining the energy bounds between which the model is to be plotted.
axAxes, optional: Matplotlib axes. Default is None.
sed_type{“dnde”, “flux”, “eflux”, “e2dnde”}: Evaluation methods of the model. Default is “dnde”.
energy_powerint, optional: Power of energy to multiply flux axis with. Default is 0.
n_pointsint, optional: Number of evaluation nodes. Default is 100.
**kwargsdict: Keyword arguments forwarded to matplotlib.pyplot.fill_between.

Returns:

axAxes, optional: Matplotlib axes.

Notes

If energy_bounds is supplied as a list, tuple, or Quantity, an energy_axis is created internally with n_points bins between the given bounds.

reassign(datasets_names, new_datasets_names)#

Reassign a model from one dataset to another.

Parameters:

datasets_namesstr or list: Name of the datasets where the model is currently defined.
new_datasets_namesstr or list: Name of the datasets where the model should be defined instead. If multiple names are given the two list must have the save length, as the reassignment is element-wise.

modelModel: Reassigned model.

Get reference fluxes for a given energy axis.

Parameters:

energy_axisMapAxis: Energy axis.

Returns:

fluxesdict of Quantity: Reference fluxes.
