Help on the class MonoCrystal (CrystalFromCell) #201

Hi, I doubt whether my understandings of the class MonoCrystal is right.

“Nmax: int Specifies the highest order of reflection to be calculated.” Does "Nmax" refer to the "n" in the Bragg formula $d\sin \theta = n\lambda$ ？

And I wonder how to rotate the whole crystal in the coordinate, and does the thickness influence the XRD pattern？

Thanks！

With the parameters, when Nmax=1, I got the first continuous pattern; when Nmax=3, I got the discrete dots. It makes me so confused.
