[Nexus] Beamline description using Nexus

[Osborn, Raymond]

Heike,
I have obviously left out a few recently added base classes to those that are available by default in NeXpy, or more accurately in the underlying nexusformat package, for which I apologize. I will try to add them in an upcoming release.

However, you can create any class you want, by creating an NXgroup with the nxclass keyword.

>>> grating = NXgroup(nxclass=‘NXgrating’)
>>> grating.__class__
nexusformat.nexus.tree.NXgrating

This was to allow people to experiment with new classes before getting them ratified by the NIAC.

With best regards,
Ray

At the beamlines at BESSY II we are using gratings quiet often.
NXgrating is defined as a base class in the Nexus definitions, but I
can't create a NXgrating using nexpy or nexusformat in python3. Normally
it should be possible, or am I wrong here?
