CompoundAperture
dLux.layers.apertures.CompoundAperture
¤
Bases: CompositeAperture
Dynamically generates an aperture from a series of overlapping sub-apertures. Both jit and grad compatible.
This class combines the aperture via a multiplication of the sub-apertures. An example would be a HST-like aperture with an obscuring secondary mirror and spiders.
This class can only contain a single AberratedAperture.
If you want to combine apertures via an addition of the sub-apertures such as an aperture mask, use the MultiAperture class.
Note that this class cannot contain a MultiAperture, but MultiApertures can contain CompoundApertures.
