-    Definition of the $\theta$ and $\phi$ orientation angles for a cylinder relative 
-    to the beam line coordinates, plus an indication of their orientation distributions 
-    which are described as rotations about each of the perpendicular axes $\delta_1$ and $\delta_2$ 
-    in the frame of the cylinder itself, which when $\theta = \phi = 0$ are parallel to the $Y$ and $X$ axes.

-The $\theta$ and $\phi$ parameters to orient the cylinder only appear in the model when fitting 2d data. 
-On introducing "Orientational Distribution" in the angles, "distribution of theta" and "distribution of phi" parameters will
-appear. These are actually rotations about the axes $\delta_1$ and $\delta_2$ of the cylinder, which when $\theta = \phi = 0$ are parallel 
-to the $Y$ and $X$ axes of the instrument respectively. Some experimentation may be required to understand the 2d patterns fully.
-(Earlier implementations had numerical integration issues in some circumstances when orientation distributions passed through 90 degrees, such 
-situations, with very broad distributions, should still be approached with care.)
