Hemispheres in Averaged Layer

Supposing a Simulation has been defined in which some layers contain embedded particles of different materials; to regard those layers as composed by a single material, the setUseAvgMaterials method is used:

simulation.getOptions().setUseAvgMaterials(True)

The figure shows the intensity map produced by the script below.

The script below shows how to average materials when simulating scattering from a square lattice of hemispheres on a substrate.
