fix normalization for angular dispersion (Trac #332) #467

@pkienzle

Description

@pkienzle

sasview 2D models have an issue with the theta parameter. If there is angular dispersion on theta, then the calculated pattern is weighted by cos(theta). This means that as the 2D pattern is rotated through 90 degrees, the overall scattering intensity decreases and increases again. Furthermore, if there is no angular dispersion, the "correction" is not applied.

It is perhaps the case that the definition of theta and phi in the models does not match theta and phi in the documentation, and that the correction should be applied on the basis of phi, or alternatively, phi and theta should be swapped and the correction continue to apply to theta.
