Hi Lina,

I would strongly recommend to send such emails to the fluka discussion list=
=2E
However to see the anisotropy of a field you should plot your results=20
versus the solid angle
dn/dOmega which is equivalent to dn/dcosTheta.

In flair the default options in "X" and "Y" do not cover this=20
possibility (maybe I should add it), however you can still do such plot=20
by entering the information in the "Using:" field as
1:($3/sin(($1+$2)/2)) and plotting it with "steps"

Regards
Vasilis
