| 21 | <para> |
---|
| 22 | There are five virtual classes whose methods the user may override |
---|
| 23 | in order to gain control of the simulation at various stages. Each |
---|
| 24 | method of each action class has an empty default implementation, |
---|
| 25 | allowing the user to inherit and implement desired classes and |
---|
| 26 | methods. Objects of user action classes must be registered with |
---|
| 27 | <literal>G4RunManager</literal>. |

| 234 | calling the <literal>stackManager->ReClassify()</literal> method which, in |

| 254 | event. At this point no primary particles have been converted to |
---|
| 255 | tracks, so the <emphasis>urgent</emphasis> and <emphasis>waiting</emphasis> |
---|
| 256 | stacks are empty. However, there may be tracks in the |

| 257 | <emphasis>postponed-to-next-event</emphasis> stack; |
---|
| 258 | for each of these the <literal>ClassifyNewTrack()</literal> method is |
