            Rotation angle in degrees telling how much the imperfection
            pattern should be rotated about the `X_3` (or `Z`) axis.
        ignore_bot_h : float, optional
            Used to ignore nodes from the bottom resin ring. The default value

        ignore_top_h : float, optional
            Used to ignore nodes from the top resin ring. The default value
            ``True`` will use data from the top resin ring, if it exists.
        stretch_H : bool, optional
            If the measured imperfection does not cover the whole height it
            will be stretched. If ``stretch_H==True``, ``ignore_bot_h`` and

            Scaling factor applied to the original imperfection amplitude,
            usually to allow imperfection sensitivity studies.
        R_best_fit : float, optional
            Best fit radius obtained with functions :func:`.best_fit_cylinder`
            or :func:`.best_fit_cone`.
        alphadeg_measured : float
            The semi-vertex angle of the measured sample (it is ``0.`` for a
            cylinder).
        H_measured : float, optional
            The total height of the measured test specimen, including eventual
            resin rings at the edges.
        path : str, optional
            Full path to the file containing the imperfection data.
        use_theta_z_format : bool, optional
            If the imperfection file is in the `\theta, Z, imp` format
            instead of the `X, Y, Z` format.
        rotatedeg : float, optional
            Rotation angle in degrees telling how much the imperfection
            pattern should be rotated about the `X_3` (or `Z`) axis.
        ignore_bot_h : float, optional
            Used to ignore nodes from the bottom resin ring. The default value
            ``True`` will use data from the bottom resin ring, if it exists.
        ignore_top_h : float, optional
            Used to ignore nodes from the top resin ring. The default value
            ``True`` will use data from the top resin ring, if it exists.
        stretch_H : bool, optional
            If the measured imperfection does not cover the whole height it
            will be stretched. If ``stretch_H==True``, ``ignore_bot_h`` and
            ``ignore_top_h`` are automatically set to ``False``.
        c0 : str or np.ndarray, optional
            The coefficients representing the imperfection pattern. If
            supplied will overwrite the imperfection data passed using the
            other parameters. For more details see :func:`.calc_c0`.
        m0 : int, optional
            Number of terms along the meridian (`z`) used to obtain ``c0``,
            see :func:`.calc_c0`.
        n0 : int, optional
            Number of terms along the circumference (`\theta`) used to obtain
            ``c0``, see :func:`.calc_c0`.
        funcnum : int, optional
            The base function used to obtain ``c0``, see :func:`.calc_c0`.
