Parameters

verbosity

type s

Omittable : default value = warnings

reviewKeptEvents [macro-file-name]

Review kept events.
If a macro file is specified, it is executed for each event.
If a macro file is not specified, each event is drawn to the current viewer. After each event, the session is paused. The user may issue any allowed command. Then enter "continue" to continue to the next event.
However, if the current scene requests event accumulation, this command simply notifies handlers.

Available at all Geant4 states.

Parameters

macro-file-name

type s

Omittable : default value =

drawTree [physical-volume-name] [system]

(DTREE) Creates a scene consisting of this physical volume and produces a representation of the geometry hieracrhy.
The scene becomes current.

Available at all Geant4 states.

Parameters

physical-volume-name	type s	Omittable : default value = world
system	type s	Omittable : default value = ATree

drawView [theta-degrees] [phi-degrees] [pan-right] [pan-up] [pan-unit] [zoom-factor] [dolly] [dolly-unit]

Draw view from this angle, etc.

Available at all Geant4 states.

Parameters

theta-degrees	type d	Omittable : default value = 0
phi-degrees	type d	Omittable : default value = 0
pan-right	type d	Omittable : default value = 0
pan-up	type d	Omittable : default value = 0
pan-unit	type s	Omittable : default value = cm
zoom-factor	type d	Omittable : default value = 1
dolly	type d	Omittable : default value = 0
dolly-unit	type s	Omittable : default value = cm

drawVolume [physical-volume-name]

Creates a scene containing this physical volume and asks the current viewer to draw it. The scene becomes current.
If physical-volume-name is "world" (the default), the main geometry tree (material world) is drawn. If "worlds", all worlds - material world and parallel worlds, if any - are drawn. Otherwise a search of all worlds is made, taking the first matching occurence only. To see a representation of the geometry hierarchy of the worlds, try "/vis/drawTree [worlds]" or one of the driver/browser combinations that have the required functionality, e.g., HepRepFile/XML with the WIRED3/4 browser.

Available at all Geant4 states.

Parameters

physical-volume-name

type s

Omittable : default value = world

open [graphics-system-name] [window-size-hint]

Creates a scene handler ready for drawing.
The scene handler becomes current (the name is auto-generated).

Available at all Geant4 states.

window-size-hint	type s	Omittable : default value = 600

specify [logical-volume-name] [depth-of-descent] [booleans-flag] [voxels-flag] [readout-flag]

Draws logical volume with Boolean components, voxels and readout geometry.
Creates a scene consisting of this logical volume and asks the current viewer to draw it to the specified depth of descent showing boolean components (if any), voxels (if any) and readout geometry (if any), under control of the appropriate flag.
Note: voxels are not constructed until start of run - /run/beamOn.
The scene becomes current.

Available at all Geant4 states.

Parameters

logical-volume-name	type s
depth-of-descent	type i	Omittable : default value = 1
booleans-flag	type b	Omittable : default value = 1
voxels-flag	type b	Omittable : default value = 1
readout-flag	type b	Omittable : default value = 1
