Description

Hi, I am Christian Diaz and I have a problem with the last update of CTools, this is: when I use the console to plot the spectrums by different simulations (with a different version of ctools), doesn’t work and show me this bug:
---------------
"(chirri) Christians-MacBook-Pro:Graphs chirri$ python show_spectrum.py SpecedispWoALPs1.fits

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "show_spectrum.py", line 296, in <module>
show_spectrum()
File "show_spectrum.py", line 284, in show_spectrum
plot_spectrum(args[0], plotfile)
File "show_spectrum.py", line 230, in plot_spectrum
spec = get_spectrum_file(filename)
File "show_spectrum.py", line 59, in get_spectrum_file
return get_spectrum_fits(fits)
File "show_spectrum.py", line 81, in get_spectrum_fits
c_energy = table['e_ref']
File "/Users/chirri/opt/anaconda3/envs/chirri/lib/python3.5/site-packages/gammalib/fits.py", line 2279, in getitem
return fits.GFitsTable__getitem__(self, *args)

RuntimeError: *** ERROR in GFitsTable::operator[](std::string&): Column “e_ref” not found in table”


I saw the file show_spectrum.py and I realized that is very different than the old version of the file show_spectrum.py, so you have some advice for that or some solution?

Best regards.

Hi Christian,
could you please specify which are the two versions of ctools used to generate the spectral files and to plot?

Yes, when I used the old version of 'show_spectrum.py’ (v. 2015-2019) and I tried to make a graph with a new file for 'spectrum.fits’ (last update of ctools) doesn’t work and this is the bug I show you. Viceversa is the same, I mean when I used the new version of 'show_spectrum.py’ with last version of 'spectrum.fits’ doesn’t work too. I attached the last version and new version of show_spectrum.py

Best regards

Hi Christian,
this is not a bug. In version 1.7 the format of the spectrum files was changed to support the storage of likelihood profiles, aka Castro plots, see #2938, and also to make it more compliant with the community-defined format for interoperability reasons (https://gamma-astro-data-formats.readthedocs.io/en/latest/spectra/flux_points/index.html#flux-points).
Unfortunately this means that spectrum files produced with ctools < 1.7.0 will not be readable with the example scripts shipped with ctools > 1.7.0. If you need to read/plot old files please use the old version of the example plotting script.
