Subject: Add min-slope-ratio option to BumpConfig.
X-Git-Tag: v0.4~30^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8729f3a48542df3355233ac5a6b2b01b408e3488;p=pyafm.git

Add min-slope-ratio option to BumpConfig.

I was running into trouble moving to the surface with extremely long
cantilevers, as the difference between the contact slope and
non-contact drift was smaller than my hardcoded cutoff.  Now the
cutoff is configurable.
