[Goptical] Creating a distributed source

[Dan Klemer]

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a distributed light source. For example, a uniformly emitting cylinder. Would the best way to do this be to create a SourceRays object, then use add_rays to create rays that originate from positions on the surface of a cylindrical envelope around the object position?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.
