    Description

    Add-On Required: This feature requires the Optical Design and Simulation Library for Image Processing Toolbox add-on.

    gmat = pickGlass(GlassName) picks a glass material with a case-insensitive matching name from the glass library. If the library contains more than one match, the function returns the first match. The order of the glass materials in the GlassCatalogTable property of the glass library controls the selected glass priority.
