Background: Attempting to use SlicerRT as a teaching aid, demonstrating different aspects of RT planning.
Problem: I want to demonstrate a forward planning with a simple four-field setup. The beams should be defined by jaws and gantry angle, and no MLCs. To get photon dose, I'm using pyRadPlan. When it calculates the dose, it appears shaped to the target rather than just a square field.
Having done a bit of digging, I noticed this warning comes up when calculating dose:
[Python] No generator specified in Plan. Using first available generator photonIMRT.
I've also seen that there is photonOpenFields generator, which I think might be what I actually need.
Is it possible to select the dose generator manually prior to calculation?
Please delete if this isn't appropriate.
