SAOfocus - compute geometric focus and RMS focus
SAOfocus Version D19990113
SAOfocus uses an IRAF-compatible parameter interface. A template parameter file is in /proj/axaf/simul/lib/uparm/SAOfocus.par.

SAOfocus reads BPipe format rays and finds the focus position minimizing RMS spot size. The rays are moved to a specified focal plane (see the OSAC V7.0 manual for a description of the ``gi'' file parameters) and the Z-coordinate is set to 0.0.
Note that onlygoodrays = yes
is required for correct operation of this
module.
This version of SAOfocus
makes extensive use of routines from the
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center code OSAC
,
``Optical Surface Analysis Code''.
