Description

* Bragg_crystal_bent_BC.comp is intended to supercede Bragg_crystal_bent.comp.
*
* For details see:
* The optics of focusing bent-crystal monochromators on X-ray powder diffractometers
*   with application to lattice parameter determination and microstructure analysis,
*   Marcus H. Mendenhall,* David Black and James P. Cline, J. Appl. Cryst. (2019). 52,

*
* NOTE: elliptical coordinate code and documentation taken from Mirror_elliptic.comp
* distributed in McXtrace v1.2. However, the coordinates are rotated to be consistent
* with Bragg_crystal_flat.comp and Perfect_Crystal.comp. Idealized elliptic mirror
* with surface ellipse and lattice ellipses independent, to allow construction of
* Johansson optics, for example.
