Description

Default

rg_squared

Å\(^{2}\)

([0.0, inf]) Ensemble radius of gyration SQUARED of the full polymer.

yheight

m

([-inf, inf]) vert . dimension of sample, as a height for cylinder/box

0.01

zdepth

m

([-inf, inf]) depth of sample

0.005

R

m

1

focus_xw

m

horiz. dimension of a rectangular area.

0.5

focus_yh

m

, vert. dimension of a rectangular area.

0.5

focus_aw

deg

, horiz. angular dimension of a rectangular area.

0
