Create Filter or StatsGenerator Extension to easily generate a Composite phase.

[imikejackson]

A basic implementation would have a fixed radius and cylindrical shape with a regular spacing. Advanced implementations would allow the following:

Placement

• Regular Grid
• Random
• Min Distance between fibers

Shape

• Cylinder
  • Define Radius
• Rectangular
• Arbitrary Polygon Shape

Orientation

• Use Axis ODF to define long axis orientation
• Allow variation in the orientation
• Fixed orientation

Size Variance

• Fixed Size
• Gaussian size distribution. (Or some other distribution)

This could just be a stand alone filter where you can insert a "Composite" phase into anything (Experimental data, imported data, or Synthetic data) or we could extend the current "Phase" paradigm of StatsGenerator to add a Composite phase, then add a filter for "insert composite phase".

Having it in StatsGenerator would provide the proper playground for the GUI elements that would probably be needed.
