WaveTrainFormatter is used to change the propagation grid geometry of a WaveTrain. Recall that the format of the Waves passing through the WaveTrain is determined by the parameters of the receiver, source, and any intervening PropagationControllers. The basic rule is that the PropagationController nearest the source in the optical train, specifies the format of the propagating light. Sometimes it is desireable to have light from a single source propgate in with one format at one point in the beam train, and then change format for propagation through a second leg of the beam train. This is not possible when only one PropagationController can be used to be "closest" to the source. WaveTrainFormatter effectively "breaks" a WaveTrain by acting like a receiver on the incident side, accepting light formatted by the source and its closest PropagationController, and like a source on the tranmitting side, emitting light formatted to the specifications of a PropagationController closest to it.
