The Filter Component

Block of an attenuating material

Identification

Description

A chunk of attenuating material. Attenuation is computed through
the effective length travelled within the material. No scattering is modelled at present.
The material may take the shape of a block, a cylinder, a sphere, or a general polygonalized
shape through an off/ply file.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
