Component Manual for the Xray-Tracing Package McXtrace, version 3.8.6

12.13  The SAXSCurve McXtrace Component

A component mimicking the scattering from a given I(q)-curve by using linear interpolation between the given points.

Identification

Description

A box-shaped component simulating the scattering from any given I(q)-curve. The component uses linear interpolation to generate the points necessary to compute the scattering of any given photon.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
