Re: [Goptical] Line along optical axis

Hi Alexandre,

Thanks for looking at this for me.

It looks like what I was talking about previously was actually the
bounding boxes for the surfaces. They are different from the sag at max
radius in both cases.

I have removed my analysis and other code to make something relatively
minimal that you can use as a test example. It prints out the bounding
box information. Run it with command line argument '1' to show plots.

Thanks for looking into this for me,

Regards,
