Description

A stack of conical shells is simulated. Hyperbolic version.
To intersect the Wolter I plates we take advatage of the azimuthal symmetry and only consider the radial component
of the photon's wavevector.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
ring_nr
pore_th
Z0	m	distance between intersection plane and the focal spot( essentially the focal length).
yheight	m	Height of the pore. (Thus the inner radius is radius_{m,h}-yheight
chamferwidth	m	Width of side walls.	0
gap	m	gap between intersection with parabolic section and actual plate.	0
zdepth			0
mirror_reflec		Data file containing reflectivities of the reflector surface (TOP).	""
bottom_reflec		Data file containing reflectivities of the bottom surface (BOTTOM).	""
size_file			""
R_d		Default reflectivity value to use if no reflectivity file is given. Useful f.i. is one surface is reflecting and the others absorbing.	1
waviness	rad	Waviness of the pore reflecting surface. The slope error is assumed to be uniformly distributed in the interval [-waviness:waviness].	0
longw		If non-zero, waviness is 1D and along the pore axis.	0

AT (	,	,		) RELATIVE		Generate
ROTATED (	,	,		) RELATIVE
