Would be cool if one could implement simple gui to move either structure objects or sources around on a screen.

When the object is placed, automatically refreshes the simulation.

Make Newton use line search to find next iteration point

After realizing that pyMKL can be installed with pip, I don't any reason to keep it as a submodule.

Normalize the modal source such that the resulting optical power is 1 Watt (units of L0)

Add argument for scaling the source strength upon construction. (rather than having to do simulation.src = 5*simulation.src

Add method to Fdfd object to scan the frequency and compute the bandwidth of the objective function. (could go into optimization as well)

I attempted to run the python -m unittest test_nonlinear_solvers.py command and received the following error:

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'MKLlib' referenced before assignment

Are there any extra steps to be done?

(I installed this via "pip install fdfdpy")

The sign for "ex" and "ey" should be flipped. Otherwise, the Poynting vector you get will be the reverse of what it should be

Make some simple way to get the modal source profile (normalized) as an array without having to construct a new simulation object.

Perhaps this can be a method of the simulation class (so that the normalization and power scaling is the same)

Allow for Mx, My, Jz to be specified.

Mx and My will be converged into Jz components.

To me, there is no real cost to doing this automatically, and it simplifies the interface a bit. Open to other suggestions.
