Description
Detector-like component writing x-ray state parameters to a SHADOW x-ray file. Used to interface McXtrace components or simulations into SHADOW. Each photon is 104 bytes.
Note that when standard output is used, as is the default, no monitors or other components that produce terminal output must be used, or the x-ray output from this component will become corrupted.
Example: Shadow_output(file=”MySource.vit”, bufsize = 10000, progress = 1)
Input parameters
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
