iadpython.redistribution.hg_legendre(sample)

Calculate the HG redistribution matrix using Legendre polynomials.

This is a straightforward implementation of Wiscombe’s delta-M method for calculating the redistribution function for a Henyey- Greenstein phase function.

Probably should generate all the Legendre polynomials one time and then calculate.
