What unit is used for propagation distances?

[rgov]

The docs for propagate() say:

d (float or list of floats) – Distance to propagate, in meters, or desired schema.

but the tutorial says:

Next, we use numpy’s linspace to define a set of distances between the image plane and the reconstruction plane at 2-micron intervals to propagate our image to.

The code given generates this array of distances:

array([ 0.,  2.,  4.,  6.,  8., 10., 12., 14., 16., 18., 20.])

In general, HoloPy is agnostic to units. In this case units are determined by those used to define image spacing and illumination wavelength. the docstring shouldn't mention metres.
