Trace chief and marginal rays #3

Open GNiendorf opened 5 years ago

GNiendorf commented 5 years ago

Currently TracePy has no way to approximate the chief or marginal rays. This would be used as both a cosmetic feature - to show the chief and marginal rays for a given optical system, and as a useful tool for functions such as spot diagrams which should be shown with points near the chief ray.
