half light radius meaning in code #28

In the code half light radius is sometimes stored as that of the major axis and sometimes that of the effective axis. There isn't anything being drawn wrong, but it could cause for confusing behavior if you try to write out an extra column into the truth catalog which depends on half light radius. Similarly if you have something that is a function of half light radius.
