Detailed Description

Pure virtual base class for all form factors.

The actual form factor is returned by the complex valued function IFormFactor::evaluate, which depends on the incoming and outgoing wave vectors ki and kf. If it only depends on the scattering vector q=ki-kf, then it is a IBornFormFactor.

Other children besides IBornFormFactor are IFormFactorDecorator, FormFactorWeighted, FormFactorDWBA, FormFactorDWBAPol and FormFactorCrystal.
