Polydisperse particles example

This example shows GISAS by polydisperse cylinders on a substrate. The radii of the cylinders follow a Gaussian distribution.

The uncorrelated particles are added to a layout using a loop over the parameter distribution samples. This is currently supported only under Python scripting, not in the GUI.

Class references: Layout, Distributions.
