====== Broaden ======

###
Broadens a spectrum by a Gaussian and Lorenzian. Energy dependent broadening is allowed. The method //[[documentation:language_reference:objects:spectra:methods:broaden|Broaden]]// allows one to broaden a spectrum object without making a copy of the object.

==== Input ====
<code Quanty Example.Quanty>
dofile("definitions.Quanty")

-- Broaden with a Gaussian of FWHM 0.2 and a Lorenzian with variable
-- width, the interval 0 to 5.25 has FWHM=0.2. The interval 5.75,20 has
-- FWHM=0.75. The interval 5.25 to 5.75 linearly increases from 0.2 to 0.75
 
GBroaden = Spectra.Broaden(G, 0.2, {{0.0,0.2}, {5.25,0.2}, {5.75,0.75}, {20.0,0.75}})
G.Print({{"file","Spectra.dat"}})
GBroaden.Print({{"file","Spectra.Broaden.dat"}})
gnuplotScript = gnuplotHead .. [[
set output "Spectra.Broaden.ps"
plot "Spectra.dat"  using 1:(-$3  ) title 'T1' with lines ls  1,\
     "Spectra.Broaden.dat"  using 1:(-$3*2) title 'T1 Broaden' with lines ls 2
]]
file = io.open("Spectra.Broaden.gnuplot", "w")
file:write(gnuplotScript)
file:close()
os.execute("gnuplot Spectra.Broaden.gnuplot")
os.execute("convert -density 1024 Spectra.Broaden.ps -resize 1024 Spectra.Broaden.png")
