Rigid-body refinement

[klytje]

Description

This is still a work in progress.

This PR provides a new tool for performing rigid-body refinement via the config scripting language of pyAUSAXS. Most of the work has gone into developing a basic typechecker for this purpose.

Is this something that would be useful to include in SasView? And if so, any thoughts on how it could be better integrated?

If I'm understanding this correctly, it would live most naturally in the GSC, particularly within the context of the refactoring project on that. This is probably worth a discussion at a meeting? Particularly as the GSC group is hoping to be at a point of moving from design to actual restructuring by the time of the next contributor camp in Prague?

I should have called out @wpotrzebowski as he is leading the GSC refactor
