ZPL Macro: Plotting real entrance pupil in 3D layout.

For wide angle system, it can be interesting to visualize the position and the size of a real entrance pupil in different field angles. This macro will compute with real ray tracing real entrance pupil information for different field angles. It then adds the entrance pupil as a dummy surface and each “field” entrance pupil is defined into a configuration. 
The macro assumes axial-symmetric, only y field and the field angle in object is positive. Ray-Aiming should be turned on to correctly run this macro. It may only work with field type Angle and Object Height.

How to use:  Just run the macro, and open 3D Layout with showing central field and all configs.

Worked for me. Very handy macro, I’ve always struggled to visualize wide angle entrance pupils in my head... Thank you @Michael Cheng

在这之前还没仔细想过鱼眼镜头的各个视场的入瞳,你这一张图,让我脑袋里的入瞳具象化了。
