Scattering
==========

Examples for the optional PyMieSim-backed scattering workflow. Install the
extra before running them:

.. code-block:: console

   $ pip install "packlab[scattering]"

The first example treats individual sphere sizes independently. The second
combines the optical amplitudes with a Percus--Yevick mixture structure factor;
it is an analytical scattering calculation, not a simulation of an RSA
configuration.
