Bases: SimpleSpectrum
Implements a generic polynomial spectrum, such as a linear spectrum.
This implements a polynomial as follows: f(x) = c0 + c1x + c2x^2 + ... + cn*x^n

weights
property
¤
Gets the relative spectral weights by evaluating the polynomial function at the internal wavelengths. Output weights are automatically normalised to a sum of 1.
Returns:

normalise()
¤
The calculated weights are automatically normalised, so this method simply returns an unmodified object.
Returns:
