mono Spectrum Function

The mono spectrum function generates a monochromatic spectrum. It takes a single argument, a table, with the following recognized named entries:

name type description default
name string name of spectrum instance  
energy number energy in keV  
flux number Source flux in photon/s/cm2 1

For example,

spectrum = mono{ name = "spectrum for object",
                 energy = 1.49,
                 flux = 20 }
