style of ABCD matrix

See original GitHub issue

Hi, Can we change the printing style of ABCD matrix?

It is good, but when I try to run doctest, it is confusing and most of the matrix prints will be failed. If you want to run it to see what I mean you can use the following code:


import doctest
import raytracing

doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.axicon,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.components,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.eo,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.figure,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.gaussianbeam,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.imagingpath,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.lasercavity,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.laserpath,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.materials,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.matrix,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.matrixgroup,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.ray,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.rays,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.specialtylenses,verbose=True)
doctest.testmod(m=raytracing.utils,verbose=True)

I agree that A=, B=, C=, D= is less confusing and more concise. But I could understand the purpose of having it as a matrix as well…

I can understand the purpose of having a matrix style too, but there are two problems for now. first is with backslashes in the docstring. and Second, having <blank> lines between the printed matrix and the printed focal length.

when I want to use doctest to test the examples they real output does not match with what I have put in the examples, so it raises some error.
