#16 Source rotation

[Bas Meer]

Hi Franck,

I would like to include a rotation of the source. For my application, there is an off-set between the axis of rotation of the device and the point from which the X-rays originate. I'm currently implementing the rotation as a displacement along a circle with radius equal to the off-set. As discussed, this could be a useful built-in function for gVXR.

Hi Bas,

it is now possible to rotate the source using two specific functions.
rotateFocalSpot and rotateSource. I haven't written the unit tests, i.e. the code is not tested. It's tomorrow's job.

Hi Bas,

I added two unit tests in gvxr/tests/TestPointSource.cxx. See TestRotationCentred and TestRotationNotCentred. It seems to work well when no focal spot is used.

regards,

Franck
