-For minimal basic use, you need to provide a stream file with diffraction patterns, a geometry file to optimize, a filename for the output optimized geometry, and
-the name of two rigid group collections defined in the geometry file: one describing which panels in the detector are physically connected (and hence whose geometry should be optimized as if they were a single panel), and one to describe which panels are attached to the same underlying support (whose position and orientation are likely to be correlated).
