The custom pattern generator enables you to create various patterns directly instead of importing bmp or mat files.<\/p>\n

Getting Started:<\/h3>\n

Right click on the object in which a custom pattern is desired. The object can be a target, source, detector, or any object using the 2D viewer. Click edit to bring up the properties editor. Choose “Replace A Piece” from Menu Items and click go. When the “Replace A Piece” wizard comes up, choose “Create Custom Pattern” and click next. You will then see the custom pattern panel.<\/p>\n

\n

Choosing a pattern type:<\/h3>\n

To choose a circular supergaus pattern or a hermite pattern, simply click the option. To choose different patterns for the x and y axis, click “Mix-And-Match” and then choose a pattern for each axis from the drop down menus to the right.<\/p>\n

\n

Entering parameters:<\/h3>\n

When you click on a radio button to choose the type of pattern you want, the relevant edit boxes are enabled in the Pattern Parameters Section. For a round supergaus pattern, only one FWHM and LargeNum is needed, and only the x axis edit boxes are enabled.<\/p>\n
