 All angle parameters are valid and given only for 2D calculation; ie, an
 oriented system.

-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, the $b$ and $a$ axes of the 
-cylinder cross section. (When $\theta = \phi = 0$ these are parallel to the $Y$ and $X$ axes of the instrument.) 
-The third orientation distribution, in $\psi$, is about the $c$ axis of the particle. 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.)
