:param backrates (BackgroundRates or: BackgroundChannelRates):

The background rates object integrated over energy. If there is more than one remaining energy channel, the background will be integrated over the remaining energy channels.

Parameters:

  • ax (matplotlib.axes) – The axis on which to plot

  • cent_color (str) – Color of the centroid line

  • err_color (str) – Color of the errorband

  • cent_alpha (float) – Alpha of the centroid line

  • err_alpha (float) – Alpha of the errorband
