5336th March 2006  John Allison  (vis-V08-00-00)
534- Collected tags below.  Main features since Release 8.0:
535  o Added /vis/scene/transientsAction.  The default is "rerun", i.e.,
536    when the viewer requests, the previous event or run will be
537    processed again with the original random number seed so that
538    transients (trajectories, hits, user drawing, etc.) are
539    reconstructed.  Thus, transients are "remembered" and may be
540    copied between graphics systems.  Turn off with
541    "/vis/scene/transientsAction none".
542  o Introduced /vis/geometry/... for editing vis attributes of
543    geometry volumes.
544  o For developers:
545    * Migration from use of Establish/DecommisionSpecials.

813
81412th May 2005  John Allison
815- Moved zlib to externals/zlib.
816
8176th May 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-14)
818- OpenGL: fixed bug (views not refreshed - opengl-V07-00-02).
819- Improved ASSCIITree guidance.
820- G4VisExecutive: Replaced printing of available graphics systems.
821  Now corresponds to behaviour of most old examples vis managers.
822- Fixed some pedantic warnings from gcc 4.
823- G4PhysicalVolumeModel: SetCopyNo of replicas and paramaterised
824  volumes (modeling-V07-00-00).
825
8265th May 2005  John Allison
827- Introduced zlib directory.
828
82922nd April 2005  John Allison
830- OpenGL: Implemented text for X-Windows viewers (opengl-V07-00-00/1).
831
83210th April 2005  John Allison  (visman-V07-00-00)
833- G4VisCommandsSceneAdd.cc: 2nd attempt to fix access to fpVisManager
834  from nested class for SUN.
835
83616th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-13)
837- G4VisCommandsSceneAdd.cc: fixed access to fpVisManager from nested class.
838- For gcc 2.95.2: Fixed G4String return for viewer commands.
839- Added constructor and virtual destructor to G4VUserVisAction.
840
84115th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-12)
842- Added return type G4int to G4ViewParameters::SetNoOfSides and
843  G4ModelingParameters::SetNoOfSides.  They return no. of sides, i.e.,
844  sides per circle in polyhedron contruction, that are actually set;
845  there is a lower limit of 12.
846- G4PhysicalVolumeModel: bug fix: no. of rotation steps correctly applied.
847
84810th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-11)
849- Reviewed all vis commands.  Improved guidance, simplified and
850  rationalised the commands.
851
8529th March 2005  John Allison
853- Removed "remove" and "edit" commands.
854- G4VisManager: removed "Delete" methods. (Removing or deleting an
855  existing scene, scene handler or viewer is very messy and not
856  necessary.  When a user creates a new one, he/she may leave the old
857  one around without harm.  It may be left unused or selected again later
858  if the user wants.)
859- Removed automatic parameter candidate specification for commands
860  that take an argument that is a scene, scene handler or viewer
861  name - it is checked in SetNewValue methods.  (The code was just
862  too complicated and, anyway, the result hindered, rather than
863  helped the user, because it restricted the parameter values and
864  mis-typing gave obscure messages.  Now the messages are clearer and,
865  as the guidance points out, the list of possible names can be
866  obtained with a "list" command.)
867- Made "list" commands flag current items.
868- Improved guidance for /vis/scene commands.  Still to do (groan!):
869    /vis/scene/add
870    /vis/sceneHandler
871    /vis/viewer
872
8739th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-10, needs greps-V07-00-01)
874- Refined logo and scale.
875- Improved physical volume clipping.
876- G4VisManager: Added default G4Transform3D::Identity to
877  objectTransformation argument in Draw methods.
878
8794th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-09)
880- Added first implementation of cutaway - a clipping box for physical
881  volume tree:
882    vis/scene/add/volume ! ! ! box km 0 1 0 1 0 1
883  (Does not seem properly to clip volumes wholly inside clipping volume.)
884
8853rd March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-08)
886- Introduced /vis/scene/add/logo.
887- Added Set methods to G4VModel.
888- Added argument to G4CallbackModel::operator()(const G4Transform3D&) so that
889  the model could implement a given transformation.  Provided default for
890  G4VUserVisAction::(const G4Transform3D& = G4Transform3D::Identity).
891- Improved guidance for:
892    compound commands
893    ASCIITree commands
894- Used std::istrstream::istrstream(std::string) throughout.
895
89623rd February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-07)
897- Protected scene handlers for the case of the drawing of solids NOT
898  from a physical volume tree:
899    G4FRSceneFunc.icc
900    G4OpenGLSceneHandler.cc
901    G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler.cc
902    G4ASCIITreeSceneHandler.cc
903    G4GAGTreeSceneHandler.cc
904- Fixed a problem with ClearTransientStore.  ClearTransientStore
905  should restrict itself to its job.  In the following files,
906  ClearTransientStore also redraws the view.  In other places, a draw
907  command often follows, so it is not needed here.  In fact it can
908  cause a double recursive descent into DrawView, so the existing code
909  has been commented out (JA - 23/Jan/05):
910    G4FRSceneFunc.icc
911    G4HepRepFileSceneHandler.cc
912    G4OpenGLImmediateSceneHandler.cc
913    G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler.cc
914    G4VRML1SceneHandlerFunc.icc
915    G4VRML2SceneHandlerFunc.icc
916    G4XXXSceneHandler.cc
917- Removed (commented out) some code that forced extra kernel visits,
918  purportedly to overcome a problem in OpenGLStored methods.  Let's
919  fix OpenGL if necessary:
920    G4VSceneHandler.cc
921    G4VViewer.cc
922- Commented out SetView and ClearView in /vis/viewer/refresh:
923    G4VisCommandsViewer.cc
924- Changed signature of G4VViewer::SetNeedKernelVisit(G4bool) for compatibility.
925
92619th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-06 with greps-V07-00-00)
927- Added G4VUserVisAction and G4CallbackModel.
928- Implemented /vis/scene/add/userAction.
929- Fixed bug in /vis/viewer/update (check existence of scene handler and scene).
930
93115th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-05)
932- Introduced drawing of readout geometry for logical volumes.
933- For drawing of logical volumes, introduced boolean flags to control
934  drawing of:
935    o boolean components (if any)
936    o voxels (if any) (note: voxels are not created until start of run)
937    o readout geometry (if any)
938- Augmented commands /vis/specify and /vis/scene/add/logicalVolume to use
939  above flags.
940- G4ASCIITree: Added printing of names of sensitive detector (if any) and
941  readout geometry (if any).
942
94315th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-04)
944- Updated READMEs for G4VisExecutive.  Removed references to OPACS.
945
9469th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-03)
947- Migration from AddThis to AddSolid and AddCompound: fixed previously
948  missed FukuiRendererSceneHander.
949
9504th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-02)
951- Introduced G4VisExecutive.  MyVisManager deprecated.
952
95327th January 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-01, needs intercoms-V07-00-00)
954- Migration from AddThis to AddSolid and AddCompound.
955- AddSolid: Methods for adding solids to the scene handler.  They
956  must always be called in the triplet PreAddSolid, AddSolid and
957  PostAddSolid.  The transformation and visualization attributes
958  must be set by the call to PreAddSolid.  A possible default
959  implementation is to request the solid to provide a G4Polyhedron
960  or similar primitive - see, for example, G4VSceneHandler.
961- AddCompound: Methods for adding "compound" GEANT4 objects to the scene
962  handler.  These methods may either (a) invoke "user code" that
963  uses the "user interface", G4VVisManager (see, for example,
964  G4VSceneHandler in the Visualization Category, which for
965  trajectories uses G4VTrajectory::DrawTrajectory, via
966  G4TrajectoriesModel in the Modeling Category) or (b) invoke
967  AddPrimitives below (between calls to Begin/EndPrimitives) or (c)
968  use graphics-system-specific code or (d) any combination of the
969  above.
970
97126th January 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-00)
972- G4VisManager:: removed optional argument
973  const G4Transform3D& objectTransformation = G4Transform3D::Identity
974  from Draw methods for a hit and trajectory.
975- Trapped illegal nesting of Begin/EndPrimitives.
976- Added fpCurrentMaterial to G4VSceneHandler and relevant derived
977  classes and models for work with G4PhysicalVolumeModel via
978  EstablishSpecials.  So now, the material is also available (in addition
979  to current depth, logical and physical volum) during drawing of geometry
980  items.
981- Changed ASCIITree to use G4VSolid::GetCubicVolume and
982  G4LogicalVolume::GetMass.
983- Changed G4PhysicalVolumeMassScene to use G4VSolid::GetCubicVolume.
984- Improved guidance for /vis/viewer/set/hiddenMarker.
985- G4VisCommandsViewerSet: made Up and Viewpoint vectors unit for safety.
986- Some additions to test area.
987
98810th December 2004 Gabriele Cosmo (vis-V06-02-09)
989- Replaced M_PI with CLHEP's pi.
990
9917th December 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-02-08)
992- Tagged right after migration to cmath
993- All occurences of include <math.h> have now become include <cmath>.
994- All math functions are now prefaced with std::
995
9967th December 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-02-07)
997- Tagged right before migration to cmath
998
99926th November 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-02-06)
1000- Tagged for release 7.0.
1001- Made from vis-V06-02-05
1002- plus opengl-V06-02-07 by John Allison
1003- plus vis-HepRep-V06-02-02 by Mark Donszelmann
1004- plus openinventor-V07-00-00 by Guy Barrand
1005
100618th November 2004  John Allison
1007- Included opengl-V06-02-07.
1008
100911th November 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-05)
1010- Made use of smart method GetPolyhedron for solids.  This greatly
1011  speeds 2nd and subsequent drawings when kernel access is required.
1012- Rationalised use of EstablishSpecials: functionality moved to base class.
1013- Removed use of obsolete G4Polymarker::line.
1014
101522nd September 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-04)
1016- Moved Doxyfile to management.  doxygen output to tmp area.
1017- modeling-V06-02-01 - small fixes.
1018- vistree-V06-02-01 - small fixes.
1019- opengl-V06-02-06 - Trap non-regular polyhedra and other small changes.
1020- DAWN-V06-02-00 - Improve diagnostic on trapping non-regular polyhedra.
1021- vistest-V06-02-02: refined rotated tube test.
1022
102313th September 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-03)
1024- vistree-V06-02-00: Improved ASCIITree:
1025  verbosity >= 3: prints volume, density of all volumes in hierarchy.
1026  verbosity >= 4: calculates the mass of the complete geometry tree taking
1027    into account daughters up to the depth specified for each physical
1028    volume in the current scene.  Culling is ignored so that all volumes
1029    are processed.  The calculation is quite tricky, since it involves
1030    subtracting the mass of that part of the mother that is occupied by
1031    each daughter and then adding the mass of the daughter, and so on
1032    down the heirarchy.  Uses G4PhysicalVolumeMassScene - see below.
1033  Added option to write to file (/vis/ASCIITree/set/outFile).
1034- modeling-V06-02-00: Added G4PhysicalVolumeMassScene and improvements
1035  to G4PhysicalVolumeModel.  See modeling/History for more details.
1036- Removed obsolete file: G4VisToOldVisCommands.hh
1037- Corrected mistake in /vis/viewer/set/*Vector commands.
1038- Augmented ParameterisedBox and rotated a tracker tube in test directory.
1039- Brought README.built_in_commands up to date for Geant4 6.2.  Removed all
1040  references to old commands.'
1041
10423rd August 2004  John Allison
1043- Rationalised vis command code (uses G4UIcommand static conversion
1044  functions where possible).
1045- Removed G4ViewParameters::DrawingStyle GetDrawingStyle (const
1046  G4Visible&).  Instead, developer has to:
1047    // Get vis attributes - pick up defaults if none.
1048    const G4VisAttributes* pVA =
1049      fpViewer -> GetApplicableVisAttributes (v.GetVisAttributes ());
1050  where v is the visible object (polyline, circle, polyhedron, etc.), and:
1051    // Get view parameters that the user can force through the vis
1052    // attributes, thereby over-riding the current view parameter.
1053    G4ViewParameters::DrawingStyle drawing_style = GetDrawingStyle (pVA);
1054    G4bool isAuxEdgeVisible = GetAuxEdgeVisible (pVA);
1055  Most developers do this anyway, so the removed routine was redundant
1056  and resulting code is more efficient and transparent.  To get
1057  colour, the developer can pick up directly from the vis attrributes,
1058  pVA, obtained as above:
1059    const G4Colour& c = pVA -> GetColour ();
1060  or use a slightly less efficient method:
1061    const G4Colour& c = GetColour (v);
1062  where v is the visible object.
1063  Note that for text, the developer must use a different procedure,
1064  since the default text colour is determined by the default text vis
1065  attributes, which may be specified independent of default vis
1066  attributes of other types of visible objects.  A function,
1067  GetTextColour, is provided and the recommended use is:
1068    const G4Colour& c = GetTextColour (text);  // Picks up default if none.
1069- Rationalised use of vis attributes in OpenGL and XXX.
1070
107128th July 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-02 with greps-V06-02-00)
1072- Implemented force auxiliary edge visible feature of G4VisAttributes.
1073- Included openinventor-V06-02-00 (minor revision - Guy Barrand).
1074
107523rd July 2004  John Allison
1076- Added auxiliary edge visible flag to G4ViewParameters and a new
1077  command, /vis/viewer/set/auxiliaryEdge.  (Auxiliary edges are not
1078  genuine edges of the volume.  They may be in a curved surface made
1079  out of polygons, for example, or in plane surface of complicated
1080  shape that has to be broken down into simpler polygons.
1081  HepPolyhedron breaks all surfaces into triangles or quadrilaterals.
1082  There will be auxiliary edges for any volumes with a curved surface,
1083  such as a tube or a sphere, or a volume resulting from a Boolean
1084  operation.  Normally, they are not shown, but sometimes it is useful
1085  to see them.  In particular, a sphere, because it has no egdes, will
1086  not be seen in wireframe mode in some graphics systems unless this
1087  flag is turned on.)
1088
108916th July 2004  John Allison
1090- Refined forced wireframe algorithm - *always* force wireframe even
1091  if hidden line removal is specified.
1092- opengl-V06-02-04.
1093
109415th July 2004  John Allison
1095- Small improvement to G4XXX (sample graphics system).
1096
109714th July 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-01)
1098- Removed deprecated commands:
1099    /vis/viewer/show               (use /vis/viewer/update)
1100    /vis/viewer/lightsThetaPhi     (use /vis/viewer/set/lightsThetaPhi)
1101    /vis/viewer/lightsVector       (use /vis/viewer/set/lightsVector)
1102    /vis/viewer/viewpointThetaPhi  (use /vis/viewer/set/viewpointThetaPhi)
1103    /vis/viewer/viewpointVector    (use /vis/viewer/set/viewpointVector)
1104  (See geant4/source/visualization/README.built_in_commands for list
1105  of current commands.)
1106- Tidied guidance for /vis/viewer/set.
1107- Included opengl-V06-02-03 (cosmetic).
1108
110914th July 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-00)
1110- opengl-V06-02-02 and vistest-V06-02-01:
1111  Hidden line *and/or* hidden surface removal now work for OGL*X and OGL*Xm.
1112
11131st July 2004  John Allison
1114- Correction to guidance of /vis/viewer/set/hiddenEdge.
1115- Small improvement to README of /vis/scene/add/axes.
1116- vistest-V06-02-00.
1117- opengl-V06-02-00.
1118- visman-V06-02-00: Fix for porting on gcc-3.4.0: made ProcessView()
1119  public, since used as private friend (Gabriele Cosmo).
1120
11219th June 2004  Gabriele Cosmo  (vis-V06-01-03)
1122- Adopt G4DLLIMPORT/G4DLLEXPORT technique to handle extern simbols for
1123  allowing support of DLLs on Windows.
1124- Minor correction in modeling/GNUmakefile for GLOBLIBS definition.
1125- Coworks with "global-V06-01-02b".
1126
11277th June 2004  Gabriele Cosmo  (vis-V06-01-02)
1128- Includes "vis-HepRep-V06-01-04".
1129- Export extern symbols for allowing support of DLLs on Windows.
1130  Modified files: G4RayTrajectory.hh, G4RayTrajectoryPoint.hh.
1131- GNUmakefiles: added definition of GLOBLIBS for DLLs support on Windows.
1132- Coworks with "global-V06-01-02a".
1133
11349th April 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-01-01 + interfaces-V06-01-00)
1135- Tagged OpenGL as below.  Joint with interfaces-V06-01-00.
1136
11377th April 2004  Guy Barrand
1138- visualization/OpenGL/* : use the G4OpenGL.hh file.
1139- Added : visualization/OpenGL/include/G4OpenGL.hh to encapsulate
1140  the include of gl/gl.h and gl/glu.h that may be platform dependant.
1141  It permits to rm some #ifdef WIN32 spread in the code. It opens also
1142  the way to the usage of the Apple OpenGL on a Mac.
1143
114414 March 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-00-01)
1145- HepRepFile handle duplicate ShowView.
1146- HepRepFile improve layering and hierarchy for hits.
1147
114817th February 2004  John Allison  (opengl-V06-00-00)
1149- Fixed bug #581: wrong order of statements in
1150  G4OpenGLXViewer::~G4OpenGLXViewer (see bug report).
1151
11521st December 2003  John Allison
1153- Added checks and minor improvment of behaviour at end of event and run:
1154  o G4VisManager::EndOfRun: added check on MarkForClearingTransientStore.
1155  o G4VisCommandsScene.cc: For "/vis/scene/endOf[Event|Run]Action refresh",
1156    SetMarkForClearingTransientStore(true).
1157
115827th November 2003  John Allison  (vis-V05-02-06)
1159- Added /vis/scene/endOfRunAction.
1160- Includes vis-HepRep-V05-02-08.
1161- G4VisManager: Removed PrintAllGraphicsSystems and
1162  PrintInstalledGraphicsSystems.  They are difficult to maintain and
1163  are anyway not used.  (There remains PrintAvailableGraphicsSystems,
1164  which is much used, and iterates over instantiated graphics systems
1165  and needs no maintenance.)
1166
116720th November 2003  John Allison  (vis-V05-02-05)
1168- Re-submitted.  Includes vis-HepRep-05-02-07: fixes compiler issues and
1169  other minor fixes.
1170
117114th November 2003  John Allison  (vis-V05-02-04)
1172- Includes vis-HepRep-05-02-03: new HepRep XML driver for HepRep Version 2.
1173- Bug fix in G4VisManager::EndOfEvent.
1174
117512th November 2003  John Allison
1176- Bug in /vis/scene/add/volume: requestedDepthOfDescent now correctly
1177  propagated to "world" volume.
1178- modeling-V05-02-02: G4PhysicalVolumeModel: CalculateExtent always
1179  searches complete hierarchy.
1180- Change initialisation of G4VSceneHandler so that there is always a
1181  clear on first drawing  - fMarkForClearingTransientStore(true).
1182- Removed redundant code from G4VisManager::::EndOfRun.
1183
11846th November 2003  John Allison  (vis-V05-02-03)

1188  o GNUmakefile: rationalised.
1189- GNUmakefile: removed G4LIBDIR and G4TMPDIR.
1190- RayTracer/GNUmakefile: rationalised (raytracer-V05-02-04).
1191- Tree: improved printing.
1192- G4VRML2SceneHandlerFunc: changed const char* pv_name to G4String pv_name.
1193- G4XXXViewer: improved comments.
1194- modeling: GNUmakefile: rationalised (modeling-V05-02-01).
1195- test: changed MyPhysicsList to follow kernel changes.
1196
11974th November 2003  Gabriele Cosmo  (vis-V05-02-02)
1198- Includes removal of OPACS module.
1199- Includes "modeling-V05-02-00".

1518- Coworks with greps-V03-02-02 and intercoms-V03-02-04.
1519- Added G4VisManager::Draw(const G4Scale&,...  Needs intercoms-V03-02-04.
1520- Added template graphics system XXX.
1521- Improved verbosity guidance.
1522
152314th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-11)
1524- Coworks with greps-V03-02-02 and intercoms-V03-02-03.
1525- Moved default value G4Transform3D::Identity of argument from
1526  G4VSceneHandler::BeginPrimitives to
1527  G4VGraphicsScene::BeginPrimitives.  Needs intercoms-V03-02-03.
1528- Fixed bug in G4VSceneHandler::AddPrimitive(const G4Scale&).  Needs
1529  greps-V03-02-02.
1530- Added sceneHandler.Begin/EndPrimitives messages to models (long
1531  standing bug!).
1532- Removed "dummy" graphics systems in G4VisManager.cc.
1533- Improved robustness of some commands, particularly
1534  /vis/scene/notifyHandlers.
1535- Improved support for multiple viewers (but see OpenGL/History).
1536
153711th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-10-01)
1538- Implemented /vis/scene/endOfEventAction.
1539
15409th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-10-00)
1541- Note: non-standard tag to indicate internal use only.
1542- Added /vis/scene/create at start of compound command /vis/open to avoid
1543  warnings.
1544- Removed G4ModelingParameters::hierarchy.  It is no longer used.  The
1545  textual or graphical representation of the geometry hierarchy is now
1546  done in G4xxxTree classes in visua;ization/Tree.
1547- Removed /vis/scene/notifyHandlers from
1548  G4VVisCommandScene::UpdateVisManagerScene - too much updating going on.
1549  It was leading to recursive refreshing/updating.
1550- Implemented auto-refresh at end of event.  (See also OpenGL/History.)
1551  Introduced G4VSceneHandler::Get/SetMarkForClearingTransientStore for
1552  postponed (lazy) clearing of transients (e.g., trajectories) from store
1553  (graphical database) and view.  The mark is set at the end of
1554  G4VisManager::EndOfEvent and the actual clearing is done in:
1555    void G4VisManager::ClearTransientStoreIfMarked(){
1556      // Assumes valid view.
1557      if (fpSceneHandler->GetMarkForClearingTransientStore()) {
1558        fpSceneHandler->SetMarkForClearingTransientStore(false);
1559        fpSceneHandler->ClearTransientStore();
1560      }
1561    }
1562  which is called at the start of each G4VisManager::Draw and the beginning
1563  of G4VisManager::EndOfEvent.  Thus the picture stays from the end of all
1564  drawing for the event until the first drawing of the next event.
1565   
15665th August 2001  John Allison
1567- Small refinements to printing under new verbosity control.
1568
15694th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-10)
1570- Re-implemented verbosity control.  Output statements wherever possible
1571  are controlled by the verbosity in a simple graded message scheme:
1572    enum Verbosity {
1573      quiet,         // Nothing is printed.
1574      startup,       // Startup and endup messages are printed...
1575      errors,        // ...and errors...
1576      warnings,      // ...and warnings...
1577      confirmations, // ...and confirming messages...
1578      parameters,    // ...and parameters of scenes and views...
1579      all            // ...and everything available.
1580    };
1581  Note that the G4VisManager member object name and type have changed:
1582    Verbosity             fVerbosity;  // New.
1583    const G4int           fVerbose;
1584    // fVerbose is kept for backwards compatibility for some user
1585    // examples.  (It is used in the derived user vis managers to print
1586    // available graphics systems.)  It is initialised to 1 in the
1587    // constructor and cannot be changed.
1588
15893rd August 2001  John Allison
1590- Added README.quick, a quick installation guide.
1591
159230th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-09)
1593- Eliminated view parameters from G4VisManager.  Now, each view maintains its
1594  own parameters.  Can be copied from one view to another with:
1595    /vis/viewer/set/all <from-viewer-name>
1596    Copies view parameters from from-viewer to current viewer.
1597    Affects current viewer.
1598- Removed redundant methods from G4VisManager, mostly to do with old-style
1599  commands.

160127th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-08)
1602- Needs config-V03-02-01.
1603- Introduced environment variable G4VIS_NONE that, if set, no visualization
1604  drivers are built and no vis libraries are built, not even
1605  libG4vis_management.  (libG4modeling is still built.)  The C-pre-processor
1606  variables G4VIS_BUILD and G4VIS_USE are *not* set.
1607- Removed the need to specify environment variables for visualization drivers
1608  which do not need external packages or libraries, namely :
1609      G4VIS_BUILD_DAWNFILE_DRIVER
1610      G4VIS_BUILD_RAYTRACER_DRIVER
1611      G4VIS_BUILD_VRMLFILE_DRIVER
1612      G4VIS_BUILD_ASCIITREE_DRIVER
1613      G4VIS_BUILD_GAGTREE_DRIVER
1614    with associated G4VIS_USE environment variables:
1615      G4VIS_USE_DAWNFILE
1616      G4VIS_USE_RAYTRACER
1617      G4VIS_USE_VRMLFILE
1618      G4VIS_USE_ASCIITREE
1619      G4VIS_USE_GAGTREE
1620  For backwards compatibility, unless G4VIS_NONE is set, the corresponding
1621  C-pre-processor variables are automatically set.  Also, the C-pre-processor
1622  variables G4VIS_BUILD and G4VIS_USE are set.
1623- As before, environment variables for other drivers still need positive
1624  setting of their G4VIS_BUILD and G4VIS_USE environment variables.  In this
1625  category are:
1626      G4VIS_BUILD_DAWN_DRIVER
1627      G4VIS_BUILD_OPACS_DRIVER
1628      G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLX_DRIVER
1629      G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLWIN32_DRIVER
1630      G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLXM_DRIVER
1631      G4VIS_BUILD_OIX_DRIVER
1632      G4VIS_BUILD_OIWIN32_DRIVER
1633      G4VIS_BUILD_VRML_DRIVER
1634    with associated G4VIS_USE environment variables:
1635      G4VIS_USE_DAWN
1636      G4VIS_USE_OPACS
1637      G4VIS_USE_OPENGLX
1638      G4VIS_USE_OPENGLWIN32
1639      G4VIS_USE_OPENGLXM
1640      G4VIS_USE_OIX
1641      G4VIS_USE_OIWIN32
1642      G4VIS_USE_VRML
1643  In this case G4VIS_NONE must *not* be set.
1644- Fixed unchecked pointer in G4VSceneHandler::ClearStore().
1645
164625th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-07)
1647- Improved access to models (modeling-V03-02-03).

1649- Improved checks and warning messages in /vis/scene/add/scale.
1650
165124th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-06)
1652- Needs greps-V03-02-01 for small interface change to G4Scale.
1653- Includes modeling-V03-02-02.
1654- Force rebuild of graphics "stores" (graphical databases) and, if
1655  auto-refresh is true, refresh of all views
1656  (/vis/scene/notifyHandlers) after an addition to scene.
1657- Improvements to /vis/scene/add/scale:
1658  o Added colour.
1659  o Assigned a genuine extent.
1660
166123rd July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-05 is non existent - sorry!!!)

1669- Modification of G4DAWNFILEViewer.cc
1670- PostScript command "showpage" is always added to g4_XX.eps
1671  so that it is printable. (It can also be inserted into
1672  LaTeX documents.
1673
167418th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-02)
1675- Ensured rotation and translation of replica is restored (modeling-V03-02-00)
1676  (fixes crashes in replica tracking).
1677
167814th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-01)
1679- Included raytracer-V03-02-00 (minor cosmetics).

1683
168414th July 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-02-patch01 in branch geant4-03-02-branch)
1685- Fixed crash in optimised mode: added Initialise() to viewers so
1686  that windows are opened after viewers are fully constructed.
1687

1693
169410th July  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-patch00 in branch geant4-03-02-branch)

1696  existent scene handler in /vis/sceneHandler/remove.
1697
169819th June 2001  Satoshi Tanaka (vis-V03-01-07)

1723  verbosity control.
1724- G4ASCIITree: Forced culling off so that all volumes are seen, even if

1737
173823rd May 2001  John Allison
1739- Eliminated Linux pedantic warnings, except FukuiRenderer, VRML and OPACS.
1740
174122nd May 2001  John Allison
1742- Refined ASCIITree.
1743
174421st May 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-01-02)
1745- Minor bug corrections (mostly to fix things that used to work with the
1746  old /vis~/ commands but ceased to work with the new /vis/commands:
1747  o If a scene is empty at drawing time, the "world" is added.
1748  o Window size hint now works for OpenGL.
1749- Fixed some minor warnings for strict C++ (size_t, etc.).
1750
175118th May 2001 John Allison
1752- Removed unnecessary virtual inheritance of G4VViewer in G4RayTracerViewer.
1753- Introduced verbosity to ASCIITree.

1755
175615th May 2001 John Allison
1757- Fixed bug in name of /vis/viewer/set/sectionPlane command.
1758
17593rd May 2001 John Allison (vis-V03-01-01)
1760- Changes for greps-V03-01-01 (elimination of RW).
1761- Improvements in /vis/scene/add/volume.
1762- Added /vis/drawTree.
1763
176410th April 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-01-00)
1765- Added two new commands:
1766    /vis/scene/add/text
1767    /vis/scene/add/axes
1768- Added first version of ASCIITree to dump geometry hierarchy to
1769  standard output as ASCII stream.
1770  This requires two new environment variables:
1771    G4VIS_BUILD_ASCIITREE_DRIVER
1772    G4VIS_USE_ASCIITREE
1773  and config-V03-01-00.
1774
17752nd April 2001  John Allison
1776- Tidied OpenGL (opengl-V03-00-01) - see OpenGL/History.
1777
17782nd April 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-09)
1779- Fixed some warnings from DEC cxx.
1780
178115th March 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-08)
1782- Changed rotation of phi-replicas in G4PhysicalVolumeModel.cc to
1783  ensure correspondence with rule that phi=0 bisects the replica.
1784  WARNING: Prior to this fix the graphics did NOT correspond to the
1785  replica navigation.  If you have been relying on the graphics to
1786  position daughter volumes in a phi-replica, navigation will have
1787  been incorrect, possibly without causing a crash.  The above fix
1788  will change the apparent position as shown by the graphics and you
1789  will have to correct the positioning of daughters.  Make sure the
1790  diaghters are all properly enclosed within the replica.  Graphics
1791  and navigation now correspond,
1792
17937th March 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-07)
1794- Cosmetic corrections for ISO compliance.
1795
179623rd February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-06)
1797- Removed all references to RogueWave.
1798
17994th February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-05)
1800- Reverted to /vis/viewer commands updating vis manager's view parameters.
1801  Otherwise this can have a big effect on users if old commands are still
1802  being used.  Let's schedule this change for the next version of Geant4.
1803- Added the following new commands:
1804  /vis/enable [true|false]
1805  /vis/disable
1806  /vis/verbose [<verbosity-integer>]
1807  /vis/viewer/set/lineSegmentsPerCircle  [<number-of-sides-per-circle>]
1808  /vis/viewer/set/sectionPlane ...
1809  Only /vis/scene/add/text and /vis/scene/add/axes to go!!!
1810
18114th February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-04)
1812- /vis/viewer commands no longer update vis manager's view parameters.
1813- Most /vis~/ copmmands give DEPRECATED warning, except:
1814  /vis~/draw/axes
1815  /vis~/draw/text
1816  /vis~/set/section_plane
1817  /vis~/set/sides
1818  /vis~/set/verbose
1819  which have still to be re-implemented.  All /vis~/ commands are still
1820  available through /vis/ for the time being.  (Window size hint no longer
1821   works.)
1822- Added "auto refresh" to view parameters.
1823- Added "default" view parameters to viewers.
1824- Made OpenGL viewers "auto refresh" by default.
1825- Added:
1826  /vis/viewer/set/autoRefresh
1827  /vis/viewer/set/projection
1828- Added compound command:
1829  /vis/drawView [<theta-deg>] [<phi-deg>]
1830                [<pan-right>] [<pan-up>] [<pan-unit>]
1831                [<zoom-factor>]
1832                [<dolly>] [<dolly-unit>]
1833
18344th February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-03)
1835- Added several new vis commands:
1836  /vis/viewer/dolly
1837  /vis/viewer/dollyTo
1838  /vis/viewer/lightsThetaPhi
1839  /vis/viewer/lightsVector
1840  /vis/viewer/pan
1841  /vis/viewer/panTo
1842  /vis/viewer/viewpointThetaPhi
1843  /vis/viewer/viewpointVector
1844  /vis/viewer/zoom
1845  /vis/viewer/zoomTo
1846  /vis/viewer/set/hiddenMarker
1847  /vis/viewer/set/lightsMove
1848
18493rd February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-02)
1850- Tidied for CodeWizard.  Small changes to many files in management, modeling
1851  and OpenGL.
1852
18531st February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-01)
1854- Fixed cause of crash when setting viewpoint before creating scene (Bug #157).
1855  Solution: SetView no longer called when view parameters are changed.  In
1856  any case it's called just before drawing, whixh is the right place.
1857- Fixed /vis/set/sides problem (Satoshi Tanaka) (Bug #204).
1858  Solution: Update view's view parameters in /vis/set/sides - had somehow
1859  been overlooked.
1860
186125th January 2001  John Allison
1862- Added protection against empty G4Polyhedron objects.
1863   FukuiRenderer/src/G4FRSceneFunc.icc
1864   OPACS/src/G4GoSceneHandler.cc
1865   OpenGL/src/G4OpenGLSceneHandler.cc
1866   OpenInventor/src/G4OpenInventorSceneHandler.cc
1867   VRML/src/G4VRML1SceneHandlerFunc.icc
1868   VRML/src/G4VRML2SceneHandlerFunc.icc
1869
187025th January 2001  John Allison  (opengl-V03-00-00)
1871- Fixed Bug #120.  Implemented running re-calculation of up-vector in
1872  the case of "object rotation" (lights move with camera) to prevent
1873  "flipping" of view when camera passes through up-vector.  Note that
1874  the default is "camera rotation" (lights do not move with camera,
1875  i.e., remain fixed relative to object) so the default is that this
1876  "flipping" can happen.  To set "object rotation" (lights move with
1877  camera) use /vis/lights/move_with_camera true (soon to be
1878  /vis/viewer/set/lights move-with-camera) or click "Object" radio
1879  button on Rotation Panel in OpenGLXm mode.
1880- Changed some objects to references for efficiency.  E.g.:
1881  const G4Vector3D& vp = pView->fVP.GetViewpointDirection ().unit ();
1882
188318th January 2001  John Allison
1884- Corrected G4PhysicalVolumeModel.  This corrects a bug whereby the
1885  requested drawing of a physical volume and its decendants starting
1886  at a depth greater than 2 was incorrectly positioned on the screen.
1887- /vis/scene/include commands withdrawn - use equivalent commands
1888  /vis/scene/add.
1889- OpenGL: cosmetic and minor performance improvements.
1890
189116th January 2001  John Allison  (vis-03-00-00)
1892- All vis commands "available" in all G4 states.
1893- Other small cosmetic changes to commands.
1894- OpenGL: square and circle markers correctly rendered.
1895  Note: subsequent rotations in stored mode also rotate these markers.
1896- Some small changes to test  - see test/History.
1897
18982nd November 2000  Gunter Folger  (vis-V02-00-02)
1899- Added targets includes and clean_libs to visualization/GNUmakefile.
1900
190118th October 2000  John Allison  (vis-V02-00-01)

1909- Corrected "scene" where it should read "scene handler" in some
1910  comments and output statements.
1911
19123rd July 2000  John Allison
1913- Explicitly initialised all data members of G4ViewParameters in constructor.
1914

1916- Tagged for system testing.
1917
19188th June 2000  Guy Barrand
1919- OPACS/src/G4GoSceneHandler.cc : correct polyhedron
1920  wire-frame in order to remove some edges. Now the
1921  rendering is the same than for OpenGL driver.
1922   This was requested for long by ALICE, and had been
1923  requested for ATLAS by Gaston Parrour recently.
1924
19257th June 2000  John Allison
1926- /vis/viewer/update preferred, synonym /vis/viewer/show deprecated.

1978
197911th May 2000  Satoshi Tanaka vis-V01-01-03
1980- In G4DAWNFILEViewer.cc,
1981  <       strcpy( fPSViewer, "ghostview" );

2008
200927th April 2000  John Allison
2010- Updated README file.
2011
201212th April 2000  John Allison  vis-V01-01-01
2013- Made G4PhysicalVolumeModel::DescribeSolid virtual.
2014- G4PhysicalVolumeModel::DescribeSolid no longer deals with composite
2015  solids - now programmed into CompositeSolid::CreatePolyhedron, where
2016  CompositeSolid means G4IntersectionSolid, G4SubtractionSolid and
2017  G4UnionSolid.

2189- G4GoSceneHandler.cc/G4GoSceneHandler::EndPrimitives : modify
2190  the logic of setting the OMatrix for Go objects in order
2191  to avoid the usage of the CLHEP/Rotation.getAngleAxis that
2192  clearly has precision problem on some platforms (at least
2193  Linux and HP-UX).

2289                G4Polyhedra to G4VSceneHandler
2290              - Moved some code from G4VisManager to G4Scene::AddWorldIfEmpty.
2291              - Various refinements and bug fixes.
2292- modeling: Augmented G4PhysicalVolumeSearchScene and G4BoundingSphereScene
2293            See modeling/History.

2296          - Added (long unsigned int) cast in G4OpenGLXmRotationCallbacks.cc.
2297          - Added SetView and ShowView to G4OpenGLXViewer:
2298              // To force change of context...
2299              void G4OpenGLXViewer::SetView () {
2300                glXMakeCurrent (dpy, win, cx);
2301                G4OpenGLViewer::SetView (); 
2302              }
2303              // Hopefully to get better flushing in DEC OpenGL...
2304              void G4OpenGLXViewer::ShowView () {
2305                glXWaitGL ();
2306                glFlush ();
2307              }
2308
2309
2310vis-01-00-04 11th January 1999  John Allison

2331
2332vis-00-04-03  9th December 1998  John Allison
2333- Made /vis/ commands from /vis~/.  The idea is to maintain backwards
2334  compatibility while allowing us to "deprecate" the old commands over
2335  a period of time.  Some of these /vis/ commands respond with "superceded",
2336  i.e., superceded by new commands, but still available in /vis~/.
2337- OpenGL viewing volume increased by 20% to prevent corners being clipped.
2338
2339- 08/12/98 : G.Barrand : OpenInventor : due to
2340  huge load problems on various platforms, init only
2341  the HEPVis things that are needed.

2353  functions to G4ModelingParameters.
2354- Reverted to default assignment operator and copy constructor for
2355  G4ModelingParameters and G4ViewParameters.
2356- G4PhysicalVolumeModel can now handle invisible daughters.
2357- More new /vis/ commands - depends on intercoms-00-04-01.
2358- G4VScene passes DefaultVisAttributes* to ModelingParameters.
2359
2360vis-00-03-07  23rd November 1998  John Allison.

2375- VRML 2.0 Visualization driver is added to
2376  management/include/MyVisManager.cc.
2377
2378vis-00-03-05  9th November 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2379- VRML 2.0 Visualization driver is commited:
2380 (1) Generatin of VRML 2.0 format files to describe Geant4 simulation.
2381 (2) Interactive displaying of physiccal-volume names and copy numbers
2382 (3) Interactive displaying of hit positions (displayed strings are
2383     costomizable.
2384 (4) Wireframe drawing style of Geant4 visualization is reflected as
2385     transparency = 0.7.  This value is customizable.
2386     If transparency is 1.0, drawing of detector geometry is skipped,
2387     and hits can be picked easily.
2388
23896th November 1998  John Allison
2390- Implemented basic /vis/viewer commands.
2391- Added `const G4String& name' argument to G4VScene and G4VView constructors.
2392
2393vis-00-03-04  30th October 1998  John Allison
2394- Tagged.
2395
239629th October 1998  Guy Barrand
2397- G4OpenGLXView.hh, G4OpenGLXmView.cc, G4OpenGLXmWindowHandlingCallbacks.cc
2398  in order that things compile and compile without warnings on HP/aCC
2399
240014th October 1998  John Allison
2401- Augmented the new /vis/ commands.  Still not complete but they
2402  co-work with the old commands.
2403- Changed char* fName to G4String fName in G4VScene and G4VView.
2404  Consequent changes in G4OpenGLView.  Also OpenInventor?  Etc.
2405
240611th October 1998 Andy Walkden
2407- added (not a very good) version of hidden lines removal code. This code
2408  suffers from depth buffering artefacts. glPolygonOffset is a feature of
2409  OpenGL version 1.1, and can help overcome depth buffer problems. The code
2410  to utilise glPolygonOffset is committed, but commented out, as it doesn't
2411  seem to work with the version of Mesa available on rsplus currently. My
2412  ideal strategy is to enable depth testing, draw the model as lines, enable
2413  filled polygon offsetting (glPolygonOffset(1.0 /*offset scale factor*/,
2414  2/*offset bias*/); glEnable (GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_FILLED);) then draw the
2415  model as filled polygons. The offsetting should just add `2' (in window
2416  coordinates, I think) onto the z value of all vertices relating to filled
2417  polygons, thus dismissing the conflict between almost identical z values
2418  for lines and filled polygon edges.
2419
2420vis-00-03-03 9th October 1998  John Allison
2421- G4VisManager inherits G4VStateDependent.  This is used to draw
2422  end-of-event models.
2423
24244th October 1998 Andy Walkden
2425- Added ability for all G4OpenGLX derived graphics systems to produce
2426  vectored PostScript hardcopy. Facility for `automated screen dump'
2427  (i.e. pixmap output) still kept, as some rasterization features

2510
25114th August 1998 Andy Walkden
2512I made some changes to OpenGL code...
2513The changes are (i) to tidy up some redundant hidden line
2514removal function calls, (ii) to put some hidden line removal
2515code in G4OpenGLScene::AddPrimitive(G4Polyhedron) and
2516(iii) to add an option to generate an encapsulated postscript
2517file of the current view in OpenGLXm. There is now a button
2518in the Miscellany pulldown of the main menubar to bring up
2519a shell in which you can specify a filename, colour or black
2520and white and request the creation of a .eps file. The
2521code is to be found in G4OpenGLXView, and so is not bound
2522to the Xm user. Also it needs fixing for some Mesa
2523implementations, and the HP CDE environment manages to stuff
2524things up when rendering to a pixmap (although CDE makes a
2525mess of most other things as well, so this isn't
2526disastrous).
2527
2528
2529vis-00-01-08  21th July 1998  John Allison
2530- Removed automatic refresh from /vis/camera/reset in G4VisCommandsCamera.cc.
2531
2532vis-00-01-07b  21th July 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2533- Revised G4FRSCENE::SendBoundingBox() so that
2534  zooming polycy of  DAWN drivers becomes consistent with

2540
2541vis-00-01-06  19th July 1998  John Allison
2542- Default culling: culling - on, culling of invisible objects - on.
2543- set/drawing_style does *not* change culling flags.

2601  the head version of GNUmakefile.architecture.
2602- Consequential changes (improvements) to template handling in test19.cc
2603- Some minor improvements in modeling.
2604
2605vis-00-06-06  11th June 1998  John Allison
2606- Fixes to test_utils - see test/History.
2607- Improvements in modeling - see modeling/History.
2608
2609vis-00-06-05  11th June 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2610- In G4VisManMessDraw.cc and G4VisManMessSet.cc , ...
2611  //    G4double unit = G4UIcommand::valueOf (unitString);
2612        G4double unit = G4UnitDefinition::GetValueOf (unitString);
2613
2614vis-00-06-04  10th June 1998  John Allison

2622
2623vis-00-06-03  27th May   1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2624- DAWNFILE driver is added. It is to generate g4.prim file
2625  under the current directory.  And make DAWN or DAVID invoke
2626  using the g4.prim file as an input. For details, see the blackboard
2627  document.
2628
262921st May 1998 Andy Walkden
2630- Added hidden line removal code to G4OpenGLView. HLR utilises OpenGL's
2631  stencil buffer, but still the drawn lines are a little fragmented
2632  (an effect seen often when depth buffering is used to resolve pixel
2633  rendering disputes).
2634- HLR requires wireframe rendering, filled polygon rendering and then wireframe
2635  rendering again. Hence, three visits to the kernel help to slow HLR
2636  rendering right down.
2637
2638vis-00-06-02  20th May   1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2639- Added G4VisFeaturesOfDAWNFILE.hh, cc
2640- Revised visualization/GNUmakefile, GNUmakefile.G4VIS_BUILD,
2641  GNUmakefile.G4VIS_USE
2642- These are for DAWNFILE driver in preparation, which enables to
2643  invoke DAVID directly from Geant4.
2644

2649- Introduced non-pure virtual functions
2650  Establish/DecommissionSpecials (G4PhysicalVolumeModel&) in
2651  G4VGraphicsScene with implementation of the former in G4VScene.
2652  Modified G4PhysicalVolumeModel to use it; also protected
2653  G4PhysicalVolumeModel against non-implementation of
2654  Establish/DecommissionSpecials.
2655- Template instantiations in G4RayView made exclusive to GNU_GCC
2656- Some minor changes under test - see test/History.
2657
265827th April 1998 Andy Walkden
2659- altered OpenGLView's structure a little. Now, G4OpenGLXmView is a
2660  type of (inherits from) G4OpenGLXView.
2661- made code for haloing effects common to all OpenGL views.
2662- changed XUnmapWindow in G4OpenGLXView::~G4OpenGLXView to XDestroyWindow
2663  (idea of Guy's)
2664
266527th April 1998 Guy Barrand
2666- vis/OPACS : remove Begin/EndModeling in G4GoScene.
2667
2668vis-00-05-06  23rd April 1998  John Allison
2669- Changed test19.mac to test19.g4m and consequent change in test19.cc.

2673
2674vis-00-05-05  21st April 1998  John Allison
2675- Added run-time command line argument: test19 [<session-type>] [<verbosity>]
2676- Removed #if GNU_GCC from template instantiation requests in test19.cc.
2677- Added fDefaultTextVisAttributes to G4ViewParameters.
2678- Added G4VScene::GetTextColour (changed G4FukuiRendererScene, G4GoScene and
2679  G4OpenInventorScene.
2680- Changed default view parameters: culling on and invisible object culling on.
2681- Tidied CreateScene/View.
2682- Continued BaBar development.
2683
268415th April 1998  John Allison
2685- Added test/EucIntfce/, test/Bogus/ and test/babar_utils/ for BaBar test code.
2686  Also a new main() in BaBarCallListTest.cc.  Also a data file call_list.dat.
2687  See babar_utils/README.
2688- Camera commands, except spin and orbit, no longer initiate draw.
2689- Text is blue for time being (visible on black or white background.)
2690
269115th April 1998 : Guy Barrand
2692- From discussion with John and Simone G4VToolkit
2693  has been renamed to G4VInteractorManager.
2694
2695vis-00-05-04a  11th April 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2696- Code improvements in DAWN driver
2697- (1) View parameters are sent to DAWN only at drawing times.
2698- (2) Way of getting marker size are made simpler by using
2699-     G4VScene::GetMarkerRadius ()  etc.
2700
2701vis-00-05-04  8th April 1998  John Allison
2702- Small bug fix - then tag for Easter.
2703
2704HEAD  6th April 1998  John Allison
2705- Added error printing to G4OpenGLScene::AddPrimitive (const G4Text& text).
2706- Added /vis~/draw/text.
2707- Added units to /vis~/draw/axes.
2708- Began the job of restructuring vis commands; so there is a new class
2709  G4VisCommandsCameraMessengers for starters!
2710
2711HEAD  4th April 1998  John Allison
2712- Removed automatic drawing after /vis~/set commands.  Now an explicit
2713  redraw is necessary, but it allows you to change parameters during
2714  building a view.  For example to superimpose projected hits on a
2715  section:
2716    /vis~/clear/view
2717    /vis~/set/section_plane on 0 0 20 cm 0 0 1
2718    /vis~/draw/current
2719    /vis~/set/section_plane off
2720    /run/beamOn
2721- Fixed small bug in OpenGL for section drawing.
2722- Made some small improvements in G4ViewParameters.
2723
2724vis-00-05-03  4th April 1998  John Allison
2725- Re-engineered maintenance of current depth, etc.  Needed new method
2726  G4VGraphicsScene::BeginModeling (G4PhysicalVolumeModel&) in
2727  graphics_reps.  The result is much cleaner model and modeling
2728  parameters classes.  Also, the current depth, physical volume and
2729  logical volume are immediately available as protected pointers in
2730  G4VScene.
2731- Required G4VScene::Begin/EndModeling to be invoked from subclass.
2732- Introduced G4NullModel to hold modeling parameters.  This avoids
2733  having to create a G4VModel for each graphics primitive.
2734
2735HEAD  3rd April 1998  John Allison
2736- Added GetMarkerDiameter/Radius to G4VScene.
2737- Bug fix in G4VScene::GetMarkerSize.
2738- Removed GetCurrentPhysicalVolume from G4PhysicalVolumeModel - now in
2739  G4ModelingParameters (but might move again soon!).
2740- test/GNUmakefile now uses "$(MAKE) separate" for vis libraries.
2741- test19 recognises argument "1" as a verbose flag value.
2742
2743HEAD April 2, 98 G.Barrand
2744- Modifications for Win32/NT.
2745- G4VIS_BUILD_[OIX, OIWIN32]_DRIVER, G4VIS_USE_[OIX, OIWIN32]
2746
2747vis-00-05-02  26th March 1998  John Allison
2748- Added GetMarkerSize to G4VScene.
2749- Made ~G4VisManager virtual.
2750- Added current logical volume and current physical volume to working
2751  space in modeling parameters.  So it is no longer necessary to cast
2752  to G4PhysicalVolumeModel; all such casts removed.
2753- Moved nested classes out of G4RayView.
2754
2755HEAD March 24, 98 G.Cosmo
2756- Modified G4VisManMessExpert.cc to correctly use random numbers
2757  by calling directly G4UniformRand().
2758
2759HEAD March 24, 98 G.Barrand
2760- GNUmakefile : MAKESHLIB changed in G4MAKESHLIB
2761
2762vis-00-05-01a  24 March 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2763- Geometry tree can be obtained by, e.g.,
2764  % grep PVName g4.prim > g4.tree
2765
2766vis-00-05-01  23rd March 1998  John Allison
2767- Made RegisterGraphicsSystems pure virtual.
2768- Added verbose level control to printing at initialization.
2769- Fixed (hopefully) bug in scene deletion.
2770- Made AddPrimitive (const G4Text/Circle/Square) pure virtual.
2771  (Had to add dummy void G4VRML1SCENE::AddPrimitive (const G4Text&).)
2772- Made AddPrimitive (const G4Polymarker&) virtual again.
2773- Opened some .hh files to G4VIS_USE flags.
2774- Removed Pre/PostAddThis from some graphics systems (not OPACS, OI).
2775- First implementation of G4ModelingParameters::hierarchy (DTREE).
2776- Added Get Global/Current Tag/Description to G4VModel.
2777- Introduced "working space" in G4ModelingParameters for geometry depth.
2778- Relocated some template instantiation requests (might give trouble on DEC).
2779
2780vis-00-04-05a  16th March 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2781- DAWN driver outputs physical-volume names and copy number.
2782
2783vis-00-04-05  5th March 1998  John Allison
2784- Added G4Text/Circle/Square in G4RayScene.hh.

2868- This is interim code for testing by the visualization
2869  group and it will be tagged soon.  You must update to the
2870  head of graphics_reps and visualization simulatanouesly.
2871  It coworks (I hope - it's difficult to be 100% sure about
2872  this since I have a few changes for other categories in
2873  the pipeline - see previous email) with:

2886    visualization/GNUmakefile.transition_to_G4VIS_USE
2887    visualization/GNUmakefile.vis_cppflags_for_G4VIS_USE
2888  to turn the existing environment variables into the
2889  to-be-adopted G4VIS_... variables - see visualization/test/README.
2890- Consequent changes to other visualization GNUmakefiles.
2891- New way of instantiating graphics systems:
2892  Set the appropriate environment variables and include and
2893  compile G4VisRegisterGraphicsSystems.icc in your main():
2894    ...
2895    #include G4VisRegisterGraphicsSystems.icc
2896    ...
2897    main() {
2898      ...
2899- Added G4VisFeaturesOfXXX files which simple return a G4String.
2900 (Guy, Jeff, would you like to join this scheme?)
2901- Added commands /vis~/delete/scene and /vis~/delete/view.
2902- Added /vis~/show/view to test19.odb.
