Description
This will be used in any test of an algorithm that requires an instrument to be defined on the workspace, in place of loading a data file or even an instrument xml file.
The class should directly construct a dummy instrument from the Geometry C++ API. This should include source, sample and monitor(s) in sensible positions and a selection of detectors/banks of various types/shapes. It could be configurable such that the calling client could choose the distances and types of detectors.
Once complete, methods could be added to WorkspaceHelper.hh to construct a full workspace including an instrument and a spectraDetectorMap. However, this should not be made the default because we want to keep our unit tests as lean as possible and plenty of them do not require any instrument information.
