G3toG4
------
The Geant4 facility to convert Geant3 to GEant4 volumes.
See the documentation section of the repository for more information.
19-Mar-1997:
'gmake' issued from the test/ subdirectory will create an executable
'clGeometry' which reads the call list file generated by rztog4, builds a
geometry and calls the visualization package. This has been tested with the
visualization based on OpenGL and Mesa (freeware OpenGL).
To use the visualization, you need to set one or more of the following
environment variables:
setenv G4VIS_USE_DAWN
setenv G4VIS_USE_OPACS
setenv G4VIS_USE_OPENGL
setenv G4VIS_USE_OPENGLX
setenv G4VIS_USE_OPENGLXM
setenv G4VIS_USE_OPENINVENTOR
setenv G4VIS_USE_RAYX
setenv G4VIS_USE_VRML1
The following gmake invocations do the following
gmake libF : build libG3toG4F.a (rztog4 object archive)
gmake libC : build libG3toG4.a (code to parse call list file and call G4
routines)
gmake lib : libC and libF targets
gmake bin : build rztog4 executable
gmake : build lib targets
gmake ext : build external packages, including BREPS and STEP
gmake examples: build cltog4 and clGeometry executables
gmake cltog4: build cltog4 executable
gmake clGeometry: build clGeometry executable
gmake all : ext lib bin examples
The code in the visualization subdirectory OpenGL/ must be compiled on a
machine on which the OpenGL header files have been installed. The compilation
of G3toG4 and external packages is done as follows:
gmake all
In the global/GNUmakefile.architecture file, you need to specify where to
find the OpenGL libraries. I currently use the freeware version of OpenGL
called 'Mesa'. I specify
OGLLIBS := -L$(OGLHOME)/lib -lMesaGL -lMesaGLU -lMesaaux -lMesatk
The AIX version is
OGLLIBS := -L$(OGLHOME)/lib -lGLX -lGLU -lGL -lXGLW -lglobalm5
Notes on the implementation (Sep 24 '96)
----------------------------------------
- PGON, PCON still not in; awaiting Geant4 constructors. 100m^3
boxes are generated for PGON, PCON at present.
- MANY not available in Geant4 yet.
- GSPOSP implemented via individual logical volumes for each instantiation
(G4PVIndexed doesn't exist yet)
- GSDV* routines for dividing volumes implemented, using
G4PVReplicas, G4PVParametrised
- GSROTM is implemented
- hits are not implemented. Hit code is do-nothing. (It is
coded up, but hit class references are commented out.)
The digits+hits code has to be updated before G3toG4's
hit code can be activated.
- GSPART has to be updated.
- Usage of magnetic field class has to be turned on.
- Use of G4UserLimits has to be reviewed and turned on.
- GNUmakefile is tested only on HP
