Screen

A Screen is a virtual element that allows the beam parameters in a specific location to be displayed in a Graph. It does not modify the resonant mode. When placed in an empty segment, the distance between the Screen and the next optic can be set using the Distance to Next property. Screens within refractive elements are automatically centred within the element thickness.

To insert a screen, select menu Edit | Insert | Insert Screen or click the  Screen button on the toolbar.

A screen is also used as the terminal optic in a propagation system. This screen cannot be deleted.

Screens have no further user-settable properties.
