More heliostat layout methods #61

Closed Satinelamp closed 3 years ago

Satinelamp commented 4 years ago

There are quite a lot of heliostat layout methods in research papers, for example, biomimetic methods that organize the heliostat like a sunflower(https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0038092X11004373). It might be more helpful if solarPILOT allows users to define a new layout method or includes more layout methods as options.
