Synopsis
Create a sherpa data object from a file.
Syntax
unpack_data(filename, *args, **kwargs)
Description
The object returned by `unpack_data` can be used in a `set_data` call. The data types supported are those supported by `unpack_pha` , `unpack_image` , `unpack_table` , and `unpack_ascii` .
Example
Create a data object from the contents of the file "src.dat" and use it to create a Sherpa data set called "src":
>>> dat = unpack_data('src.dat')
>>> set_data('src', dat)PARAMETERS
The parameters for this function are:
| Parameter | Definition |
|---|---|
| filename | A file name or a data structure representing the data to use, as used by the I/O backend in use by Sherpa: e.g. a phacratedataset , tablecrate , or imagecrate for crates, as used by CIAO, or a list of AstroPy HDU objects. |
| args | The arguments supported by `unpack_pha` , `unpack_image` , `unpack_table` , and `unpack_ascii` . |
| kwargs | The keyword arguments supported by `unpack_pha` , `unpack_image` , `unpack_table` , and `unpack_ascii` . |
Return value
The return value from this function is:
The data set object.
