[Gate-users] Trying to write a curved CT scanner

[Karl Spuhler]

Hello all,

I am trying to adapt the scanner system used in the exampleCT/fast template
to a curved system. I am currently creating an arc shape using a portion of
a cylinder and then attempting to attach a module on top of this as such
shown below in my code. Unfortunately this is not working. Does anyone have
a working template for a curved scanner? Ideally one where I could change
the resolution using a command for the number of pixels in the x,y
directions or know how I could achieve such a thing?
