Introduction

DetectorInfo provides faster and simpler access to instrument/beamline detector geometry and metadata as required by Mantid :ref:`Algorithms <Algorithm>` than was possible using :ref:`Instrument`. DetectorInfo and :ref:`ComponentInfo` are designed as full replacements to :ref:`Instrument`.

:ref:`Instrument Access Layers <InstrumentAccessLayers>` provides details on how DetectorInfo interacts with other geometry access layers.

Python Interface

Example of using DetectorInfo in python
