Identification

• Site: Tests_other
• Author: Peter Willendrup
• Origin: DTU
• Date: 20261020

Description

Places display-only components that together use every mcdisplay
primitive, to check the mcdisplay tools at --trace=1 and --trace=2:
- cone (Arm, Cone)
- polygon (Guide), drawn as a polyhedron at --trace=2
- box, hollow box, box tilted along (nx, ny, nz) and tilted hollow box (Shape)
- cylinder, hollow cylinder, cylinder along z and hollow cylinder along z (Shape)
- sphere (Shape)
- polyhedron from an OFF file (Shape)
- disc, annulus and circle (Disc, Annulus, Circle)

The shapes sit beside the beam, so only the Guide affects the neutrons.

Example: mcdisplay-webgl-classic Test_mcdisplay_shapes.instr --trace=2 -n 20
