+Oriented Shapes
+...............
+
+If the scattering is dependent on the orientation of the shape, then you
+will need to include *orientation* parameters *theta*, *phi* and *psi*
+at the end of the parameter table.  As described in the section
+:ref:`orientation`, the individual $(q_x, q_y)$ points on the detector will
+be rotated into $(q_a, q_b, q_c)$ points relative to the sample in its
+canonical orientation with $a$-$b$-$c$ aligned with $x$-$y$-$z$ in the
+laboratory frame and beam travelling along $-z$.
+
+The oriented C model is called using *Iqabc(qa, qb, qc, par1, par2, ...)* where
+*par1*, etc. are the parameters to the model.  If the shape is rotationally
+symmetric about *c* then *psi* is not needed, and the model is called
+as *Iqac(qab, qc, par1, par2, ...)*.  In either case, the orientation
+parameters are not included in the function call.
+
+For 1D oriented shapes, an integral over all angles is usually needed for
+the *Iq* function. Given symmetry and the substitution $u = \cos(\alpha)$,
+$du = -\sin(\alpha)\,d\alpha$ this becomes
+
+.. math::
+
+    I(q) &= \frac{1}{4\pi} \int_{-\pi/2}^{pi/2} \int_{-pi}^{pi}
+            F(q_a, q_b, q_c)^2 \sin(\alpha)\,d\beta\,d\alpha \\
+        &= \frac{8}{4\pi} \int_{0}^{pi/2} \int_{0}^{\pi/2}
+            F^2 \sin(\alpha)\,d\beta\,d\alpha \\
+        &= \frac{8}{4\pi} \int_1^0 \int_{0}^{\pi/2} - F^2 \,d\beta\,du \\
+        &= \frac{8}{4\pi} \int_0^1 \int_{0}^{\pi/2} F^2 \,d\beta\,du
+
+for
+
+.. math::
+
+    q_a &= q \sin(\alpha)\sin(\beta) = q \sqrt{1-u^2} \sin(\beta) \\
+    q_b &= q \sin(\alpha)\cos(\beta) = q \sqrt{1-u^2} \cos(\beta) \\
+    q_c &= q \cos(\alpha) = q u
+
+Using the $z, w$ values for Gauss-Legendre integration in "lib/gauss76.c", the
+numerical integration is then::
+
+    double outer_sum = 0.0;
+    for (int i = 0; i < GAUSS_N; i++) {
+        const double cos_alpha = 0.5*GAUSS_Z[i] + 0.5;
+        const double sin_alpha = sqrt(1.0 - cos_alpha*cos_alpha);
+        const double qc = cos_alpha * q;
+        double inner_sum = 0.0;
+        for (int j = 0; j < GAUSS_N; j++) {
+            const double beta = M_PI_4 * GAUSS_Z[j] + M_PI_4;
+            double sin_beta, cos_beta;
+            SINCOS(beta, sin_beta, cos_beta);
+            const double qa = sin_alpha * sin_beta * q;
+            const double qb = sin_alpha * cos_beta * q;
+            const double form = Fq(qa, qb, qc, ...);
+            inner_sum += GAUSS_W[j] * form * form;
+        }
+        outer_sum += GAUSS_W[i] * inner_sum;
+    }
+    outer_sum *= 0.25; // = 8/(4 pi) * outer_sum * (pi/2) / 4
+
+The *z* values for the Gauss-Legendre integration extends from -1 to 1, so
+the double sum of *w[i]w[j]* explains the factor of 4.  Correcting for the
+average *dz[i]dz[j]* gives $(1-0) \cdot (\pi/2-0) = \pi/2$.  The $8/(4 \pi)$
+factor comes from the integral over the quadrant.  With less symmetry (eg.,
+in the bcc and fcc paracrystal models), then an integral over the entire
+sphere may be necessary.
+
+For simpler models which are rotationally symmetric a single integral
+suffices:
+
+.. math::
+
+    I(q) &= \frac{1}{\pi}\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}
+            F(q_{ab}, q_c)^2 \sin(\alpha)\,d\alpha/\pi \\
+        &= \frac{2}{\pi} \int_0^1 F^2\,du
+
+for
+
+.. math::
+
+    q_{ab} &= q \sin(\alpha) = q \sqrt{1 - u^2} \\
+    q_c &= q \cos(\alpha) = q u
+
+
+with integration loop::
+
+    double sum = 0.0;
+    for (int i = 0; i < GAUSS_N; i++) {
+        const double cos_alpha = 0.5*GAUSS_Z[i] + 0.5;
+        const double sin_alpha = sqrt(1.0 - cos_alpha*cos_alpha);
+        const double qab = sin_alpha * q;
+        const double qc = cos_alpha * q;
+        const double form = Fq(qab, qc, ...);
+        sum += GAUSS_W[j] * form * form;
+    }
+    sum *= 0.5; // = 2/pi * sum * (pi/2) / 2
+
+Magnetism
+.........
+
+Magnetism is supported automatically for all shapes by modifying the
+effective SLD of particle according to the Halpern-Johnson vector
+describing the interaction between neutron spin and magnetic field.  All
+parameters marked as type *sld* in the parameter table are treated as
+possibly magnetic particles with magnitude *M0* and direction
+*mtheta* and *mphi*.  Polarization parameters are also provided
+automatically for magnetic models to set the spin state of the measurement.
+
+For more complicated systems where magnetism is not uniform throughout
+the individual particles, you will need to write your own models.
+You should not mark the nuclear sld as type *sld*, but instead leave
+them unmarked and provide your own magnetism and polarization parameters.
+For 2D measurements you will need $(q_x, q_y)$ values for the measurement
+to compute the proper magnetism and orientation, which you can implement
+using *Iqxy(qx, qy, par1, par2, ...)*.
