Finding intensity peaks

To find the intensity peaks from a GISAXS simulation, the result must be casted in the form of a histogram2d. This must then be passed to the method FindPeaks to get the (x,y) coordinates of each peak:

    result = run_simulation().histogram2d()
    peaks = ba.FindPeaks(result, 2, "nomarkov", 0.001)
    peaks_x = [peak[0] for peak in peaks]
    ypeak_y = [peak[1] for peak in peaks]

Intensity images

The following script offers a complete example in which the peaks are found after carrying on a GISAXS simulation. This particular example uses as a sample a grating of long boxes distributed along a 1D lattice.
