Constant background

To add a constant background to a Simulation instance, use

bg = ba.ConstantBackground(1e3)
simulation.setBackground(bg)

Intensity image

The script below shows how to add a constant background in the context of a GISAXS simulation of an air-substrate bilayer with cylindrical particles embedded.
