I want to plot the relative illumination over the full field of view.  The Relative Illumination utility only gives us ±x, ±y cuts.  I’m working on a ZPL macro to attempt to do that, but is there an easier/faster way?

Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,

You can use our built-in Universal Plot 2-D. It can set the desired XY axis by yourself. And with operand to calculate the value you want. A small example, but it may not display the graph in the same way as matlab.

This is the kind of plot I’m trying to generate.  I used RELI and changed X and Y fields of view, outputted to a text file, and read it in with MATLAB.  It works, but is very cumbersome.  Is there a utility in Zemax that can directly generate this kind of full-FOV relative illumination plot?
