# Geant4 examples {#mainpage}
|
|
|
|
This module collects three sets of user examples aimed to demonstrate to
|
|
the user how to make correct use of the GEANT4 toolkit by implementing
|
|
in a correct way those user-classes which the user is supposed to
|
|
customize in order to define his/her own simulation setup.
|
|
|
|
The **"basic"** set of examples is oriented to novice users and covering
|
|
the most typical use-cases of a Geant4 application with keeping simplicity
|
|
and ease of use.
|
|
|
|
An **"extended"** set of examples may require some additional libraries besides
|
|
of Geant4. This set covers many specific use cases for actual detector
|
|
simulation.
|
|
|
|
An **"advanced"** set of examples covers the use-cases typical of a
|
|
"toolkit"-oriented kind of development, where real complete applications
|
|
for different simulation studies are provided; may require additional third
|
|
party products to be built.
|
|
|
|
Most of the examples can be run both in interactive and batch mode, and
|
|
input macro files (*.in) and reference output files (*.out) are provided.
|
|
Basic and most of the extended examples are considered part of the
|
|
system testing suite for validation of the official releases of the
|
|
GEANT4 toolkit. Basic and some of the extended and advanced
|
|
examples are also used as "acceptance"-tests for the release process.
