5356th March 2006  John Allison  (vis-V08-00-00)
536- Collected tags below.  Main features since Release 8.0:
537  o Added /vis/scene/transientsAction.  The default is "rerun", i.e.,
538    when the viewer requests, the previous event or run will be
539    processed again with the original random number seed so that
540    transients (trajectories, hits, user drawing, etc.) are
541    reconstructed.  Thus, transients are "remembered" and may be
542    copied between graphics systems.  Turn off with
543    "/vis/scene/transientsAction none".
544  o Introduced /vis/geometry/... for editing vis attributes of
545    geometry volumes.
546  o For developers:
547    * Migration from use of Establish/DecommisionSpecials.

815
81612th May 2005  John Allison
817- Moved zlib to externals/zlib.
818
8196th May 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-14)
820- OpenGL: fixed bug (views not refreshed - opengl-V07-00-02).
821- Improved ASSCIITree guidance.
822- G4VisExecutive: Replaced printing of available graphics systems.
823  Now corresponds to behaviour of most old examples vis managers.
824- Fixed some pedantic warnings from gcc 4.
825- G4PhysicalVolumeModel: SetCopyNo of replicas and paramaterised
826  volumes (modeling-V07-00-00).
827
8285th May 2005  John Allison
829- Introduced zlib directory.
830
83122nd April 2005  John Allison
832- OpenGL: Implemented text for X-Windows viewers (opengl-V07-00-00/1).
833
83410th April 2005  John Allison  (visman-V07-00-00)
835- G4VisCommandsSceneAdd.cc: 2nd attempt to fix access to fpVisManager
836  from nested class for SUN.
837
83816th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-13)
839- G4VisCommandsSceneAdd.cc: fixed access to fpVisManager from nested class.
840- For gcc 2.95.2: Fixed G4String return for viewer commands.
841- Added constructor and virtual destructor to G4VUserVisAction.
842
84315th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-12)
844- Added return type G4int to G4ViewParameters::SetNoOfSides and
845  G4ModelingParameters::SetNoOfSides.  They return no. of sides, i.e.,
846  sides per circle in polyhedron contruction, that are actually set;
847  there is a lower limit of 12.
848- G4PhysicalVolumeModel: bug fix: no. of rotation steps correctly applied.
849
85010th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-11)
851- Reviewed all vis commands.  Improved guidance, simplified and
852  rationalised the commands.
853
8549th March 2005  John Allison
855- Removed "remove" and "edit" commands.
856- G4VisManager: removed "Delete" methods. (Removing or deleting an
857  existing scene, scene handler or viewer is very messy and not
858  necessary.  When a user creates a new one, he/she may leave the old
859  one around without harm.  It may be left unused or selected again later
860  if the user wants.)
861- Removed automatic parameter candidate specification for commands
862  that take an argument that is a scene, scene handler or viewer
863  name - it is checked in SetNewValue methods.  (The code was just
864  too complicated and, anyway, the result hindered, rather than
865  helped the user, because it restricted the parameter values and
866  mis-typing gave obscure messages.  Now the messages are clearer and,
867  as the guidance points out, the list of possible names can be
868  obtained with a "list" command.)
869- Made "list" commands flag current items.
870- Improved guidance for /vis/scene commands.  Still to do (groan!):
871    /vis/scene/add
872    /vis/sceneHandler
873    /vis/viewer
874
8759th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-10, needs greps-V07-00-01)
876- Refined logo and scale.
877- Improved physical volume clipping.
878- G4VisManager: Added default G4Transform3D::Identity to
879  objectTransformation argument in Draw methods.
880
8814th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-09)
882- Added first implementation of cutaway - a clipping box for physical
883  volume tree:
884    vis/scene/add/volume ! ! ! box km 0 1 0 1 0 1
885  (Does not seem properly to clip volumes wholly inside clipping volume.)
886
8873rd March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-08)
888- Introduced /vis/scene/add/logo.
889- Added Set methods to G4VModel.
890- Added argument to G4CallbackModel::operator()(const G4Transform3D&) so that
891  the model could implement a given transformation.  Provided default for
892  G4VUserVisAction::(const G4Transform3D& = G4Transform3D::Identity).
893- Improved guidance for:
894    compound commands
895    ASCIITree commands
896- Used std::istrstream::istrstream(std::string) throughout.
897
89823rd February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-07)
899- Protected scene handlers for the case of the drawing of solids NOT
900  from a physical volume tree:
901    G4FRSceneFunc.icc
902    G4OpenGLSceneHandler.cc
903    G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler.cc
904    G4ASCIITreeSceneHandler.cc
905    G4GAGTreeSceneHandler.cc
906- Fixed a problem with ClearTransientStore.  ClearTransientStore
907  should restrict itself to its job.  In the following files,
908  ClearTransientStore also redraws the view.  In other places, a draw
909  command often follows, so it is not needed here.  In fact it can
910  cause a double recursive descent into DrawView, so the existing code
911  has been commented out (JA - 23/Jan/05):
912    G4FRSceneFunc.icc
913    G4HepRepFileSceneHandler.cc
914    G4OpenGLImmediateSceneHandler.cc
915    G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler.cc
916    G4VRML1SceneHandlerFunc.icc
917    G4VRML2SceneHandlerFunc.icc
918    G4XXXSceneHandler.cc
919- Removed (commented out) some code that forced extra kernel visits,
920  purportedly to overcome a problem in OpenGLStored methods.  Let's
921  fix OpenGL if necessary:
922    G4VSceneHandler.cc
923    G4VViewer.cc
924- Commented out SetView and ClearView in /vis/viewer/refresh:
925    G4VisCommandsViewer.cc
926- Changed signature of G4VViewer::SetNeedKernelVisit(G4bool) for compatibility.
927
92819th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-06 with greps-V07-00-00)
929- Added G4VUserVisAction and G4CallbackModel.
930- Implemented /vis/scene/add/userAction.
931- Fixed bug in /vis/viewer/update (check existence of scene handler and scene).
932
93315th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-05)
934- Introduced drawing of readout geometry for logical volumes.
935- For drawing of logical volumes, introduced boolean flags to control
936  drawing of:
937    o boolean components (if any)
938    o voxels (if any) (note: voxels are not created until start of run)
939    o readout geometry (if any)
940- Augmented commands /vis/specify and /vis/scene/add/logicalVolume to use
941  above flags.
942- G4ASCIITree: Added printing of names of sensitive detector (if any) and
943  readout geometry (if any).
944
94515th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-04)
946- Updated READMEs for G4VisExecutive.  Removed references to OPACS.
947
9489th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-03)
949- Migration from AddThis to AddSolid and AddCompound: fixed previously
950  missed FukuiRendererSceneHander.
951
9524th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-02)
953- Introduced G4VisExecutive.  MyVisManager deprecated.
954
95527th January 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-01, needs intercoms-V07-00-00)
956- Migration from AddThis to AddSolid and AddCompound.
957- AddSolid: Methods for adding solids to the scene handler.  They
958  must always be called in the triplet PreAddSolid, AddSolid and
959  PostAddSolid.  The transformation and visualization attributes
960  must be set by the call to PreAddSolid.  A possible default
961  implementation is to request the solid to provide a G4Polyhedron
962  or similar primitive - see, for example, G4VSceneHandler.
963- AddCompound: Methods for adding "compound" GEANT4 objects to the scene
964  handler.  These methods may either (a) invoke "user code" that
965  uses the "user interface", G4VVisManager (see, for example,
966  G4VSceneHandler in the Visualization Category, which for
967  trajectories uses G4VTrajectory::DrawTrajectory, via
968  G4TrajectoriesModel in the Modeling Category) or (b) invoke
969  AddPrimitives below (between calls to Begin/EndPrimitives) or (c)
970  use graphics-system-specific code or (d) any combination of the
971  above.
972
97326th January 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-00)
974- G4VisManager:: removed optional argument
975  const G4Transform3D& objectTransformation = G4Transform3D::Identity
976  from Draw methods for a hit and trajectory.
977- Trapped illegal nesting of Begin/EndPrimitives.
978- Added fpCurrentMaterial to G4VSceneHandler and relevant derived
979  classes and models for work with G4PhysicalVolumeModel via
980  EstablishSpecials.  So now, the material is also available (in addition
981  to current depth, logical and physical volum) during drawing of geometry
982  items.
983- Changed ASCIITree to use G4VSolid::GetCubicVolume and
984  G4LogicalVolume::GetMass.
985- Changed G4PhysicalVolumeMassScene to use G4VSolid::GetCubicVolume.
986- Improved guidance for /vis/viewer/set/hiddenMarker.
987- G4VisCommandsViewerSet: made Up and Viewpoint vectors unit for safety.
988- Some additions to test area.
989
99010th December 2004 Gabriele Cosmo (vis-V06-02-09)
991- Replaced M_PI with CLHEP's pi.
992
9937th December 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-02-08)
994- Tagged right after migration to cmath
995- All occurences of include <math.h> have now become include <cmath>.
996- All math functions are now prefaced with std::
997
9987th December 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-02-07)
999- Tagged right before migration to cmath
1000
100126th November 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-02-06)
1002- Tagged for release 7.0.
1003- Made from vis-V06-02-05
1004- plus opengl-V06-02-07 by John Allison
1005- plus vis-HepRep-V06-02-02 by Mark Donszelmann
1006- plus openinventor-V07-00-00 by Guy Barrand
1007
100818th November 2004  John Allison
1009- Included opengl-V06-02-07.
1010
101111th November 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-05)
1012- Made use of smart method GetPolyhedron for solids.  This greatly
1013  speeds 2nd and subsequent drawings when kernel access is required.
1014- Rationalised use of EstablishSpecials: functionality moved to base class.
1015- Removed use of obsolete G4Polymarker::line.
1016
101722nd September 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-04)
1018- Moved Doxyfile to management.  doxygen output to tmp area.
1019- modeling-V06-02-01 - small fixes.
1020- vistree-V06-02-01 - small fixes.
1021- opengl-V06-02-06 - Trap non-regular polyhedra and other small changes.
1022- DAWN-V06-02-00 - Improve diagnostic on trapping non-regular polyhedra.
1023- vistest-V06-02-02: refined rotated tube test.
1024
102513th September 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-03)
1026- vistree-V06-02-00: Improved ASCIITree:
1027  verbosity >= 3: prints volume, density of all volumes in hierarchy.
1028  verbosity >= 4: calculates the mass of the complete geometry tree taking
1029    into account daughters up to the depth specified for each physical
1030    volume in the current scene.  Culling is ignored so that all volumes
1031    are processed.  The calculation is quite tricky, since it involves
1032    subtracting the mass of that part of the mother that is occupied by
1033    each daughter and then adding the mass of the daughter, and so on
1034    down the heirarchy.  Uses G4PhysicalVolumeMassScene - see below.
1035  Added option to write to file (/vis/ASCIITree/set/outFile).
1036- modeling-V06-02-00: Added G4PhysicalVolumeMassScene and improvements
1037  to G4PhysicalVolumeModel.  See modeling/History for more details.
1038- Removed obsolete file: G4VisToOldVisCommands.hh
1039- Corrected mistake in /vis/viewer/set/*Vector commands.
1040- Augmented ParameterisedBox and rotated a tracker tube in test directory.
1041- Brought README.built_in_commands up to date for Geant4 6.2.  Removed all
1042  references to old commands.'
1043
10443rd August 2004  John Allison
1045- Rationalised vis command code (uses G4UIcommand static conversion
1046  functions where possible).
1047- Removed G4ViewParameters::DrawingStyle GetDrawingStyle (const
1048  G4Visible&).  Instead, developer has to:
1049    // Get vis attributes - pick up defaults if none.
1050    const G4VisAttributes* pVA =
1051      fpViewer -> GetApplicableVisAttributes (v.GetVisAttributes ());
1052  where v is the visible object (polyline, circle, polyhedron, etc.), and:
1053    // Get view parameters that the user can force through the vis
1054    // attributes, thereby over-riding the current view parameter.
1055    G4ViewParameters::DrawingStyle drawing_style = GetDrawingStyle (pVA);
1056    G4bool isAuxEdgeVisible = GetAuxEdgeVisible (pVA);
1057  Most developers do this anyway, so the removed routine was redundant
1058  and resulting code is more efficient and transparent.  To get
1059  colour, the developer can pick up directly from the vis attrributes,
1060  pVA, obtained as above:
1061    const G4Colour& c = pVA -> GetColour ();
1062  or use a slightly less efficient method:
1063    const G4Colour& c = GetColour (v);
1064  where v is the visible object.
1065  Note that for text, the developer must use a different procedure,
1066  since the default text colour is determined by the default text vis
1067  attributes, which may be specified independent of default vis
1068  attributes of other types of visible objects.  A function,
1069  GetTextColour, is provided and the recommended use is:
1070    const G4Colour& c = GetTextColour (text);  // Picks up default if none.
1071- Rationalised use of vis attributes in OpenGL and XXX.
1072
107328th July 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-02 with greps-V06-02-00)
1074- Implemented force auxiliary edge visible feature of G4VisAttributes.
1075- Included openinventor-V06-02-00 (minor revision - Guy Barrand).
1076
107723rd July 2004  John Allison
1078- Added auxiliary edge visible flag to G4ViewParameters and a new
1079  command, /vis/viewer/set/auxiliaryEdge.  (Auxiliary edges are not
1080  genuine edges of the volume.  They may be in a curved surface made
1081  out of polygons, for example, or in plane surface of complicated
1082  shape that has to be broken down into simpler polygons.
1083  HepPolyhedron breaks all surfaces into triangles or quadrilaterals.
1084  There will be auxiliary edges for any volumes with a curved surface,
1085  such as a tube or a sphere, or a volume resulting from a Boolean
1086  operation.  Normally, they are not shown, but sometimes it is useful
1087  to see them.  In particular, a sphere, because it has no egdes, will
1088  not be seen in wireframe mode in some graphics systems unless this
1089  flag is turned on.)
1090
109116th July 2004  John Allison
1092- Refined forced wireframe algorithm - *always* force wireframe even
1093  if hidden line removal is specified.
1094- opengl-V06-02-04.
1095
109615th July 2004  John Allison
1097- Small improvement to G4XXX (sample graphics system).
1098
109914th July 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-01)
1100- Removed deprecated commands:
1101    /vis/viewer/show               (use /vis/viewer/update)
1102    /vis/viewer/lightsThetaPhi     (use /vis/viewer/set/lightsThetaPhi)
1103    /vis/viewer/lightsVector       (use /vis/viewer/set/lightsVector)
1104    /vis/viewer/viewpointThetaPhi  (use /vis/viewer/set/viewpointThetaPhi)
1105    /vis/viewer/viewpointVector    (use /vis/viewer/set/viewpointVector)
1106  (See geant4/source/visualization/README.built_in_commands for list
1107  of current commands.)
1108- Tidied guidance for /vis/viewer/set.
1109- Included opengl-V06-02-03 (cosmetic).
1110
111114th July 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-00)
1112- opengl-V06-02-02 and vistest-V06-02-01:
1113  Hidden line *and/or* hidden surface removal now work for OGL*X and OGL*Xm.
1114
11151st July 2004  John Allison
1116- Correction to guidance of /vis/viewer/set/hiddenEdge.
1117- Small improvement to README of /vis/scene/add/axes.
1118- vistest-V06-02-00.
1119- opengl-V06-02-00.
1120- visman-V06-02-00: Fix for porting on gcc-3.4.0: made ProcessView()
1121  public, since used as private friend (Gabriele Cosmo).
1122
11239th June 2004  Gabriele Cosmo  (vis-V06-01-03)
1124- Adopt G4DLLIMPORT/G4DLLEXPORT technique to handle extern simbols for
1125  allowing support of DLLs on Windows.
1126- Minor correction in modeling/GNUmakefile for GLOBLIBS definition.
1127- Coworks with "global-V06-01-02b".
1128
11297th June 2004  Gabriele Cosmo  (vis-V06-01-02)
1130- Includes "vis-HepRep-V06-01-04".
1131- Export extern symbols for allowing support of DLLs on Windows.
1132  Modified files: G4RayTrajectory.hh, G4RayTrajectoryPoint.hh.
1133- GNUmakefiles: added definition of GLOBLIBS for DLLs support on Windows.
1134- Coworks with "global-V06-01-02a".
1135
11369th April 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-01-01 + interfaces-V06-01-00)
1137- Tagged OpenGL as below.  Joint with interfaces-V06-01-00.
1138
11397th April 2004  Guy Barrand
1140- visualization/OpenGL/* : use the G4OpenGL.hh file.
1141- Added : visualization/OpenGL/include/G4OpenGL.hh to encapsulate
1142  the include of gl/gl.h and gl/glu.h that may be platform dependant.
1143  It permits to rm some #ifdef WIN32 spread in the code. It opens also
1144  the way to the usage of the Apple OpenGL on a Mac.
1145
114614 March 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-00-01)
1147- HepRepFile handle duplicate ShowView.
1148- HepRepFile improve layering and hierarchy for hits.
1149
115017th February 2004  John Allison  (opengl-V06-00-00)
1151- Fixed bug #581: wrong order of statements in
1152  G4OpenGLXViewer::~G4OpenGLXViewer (see bug report).
1153
11541st December 2003  John Allison
1155- Added checks and minor improvment of behaviour at end of event and run:
1156  o G4VisManager::EndOfRun: added check on MarkForClearingTransientStore.
1157  o G4VisCommandsScene.cc: For "/vis/scene/endOf[Event|Run]Action refresh",
1158    SetMarkForClearingTransientStore(true).
1159
116027th November 2003  John Allison  (vis-V05-02-06)
1161- Added /vis/scene/endOfRunAction.
1162- Includes vis-HepRep-V05-02-08.
1163- G4VisManager: Removed PrintAllGraphicsSystems and
1164  PrintInstalledGraphicsSystems.  They are difficult to maintain and
1165  are anyway not used.  (There remains PrintAvailableGraphicsSystems,
1166  which is much used, and iterates over instantiated graphics systems
1167  and needs no maintenance.)
1168
116920th November 2003  John Allison  (vis-V05-02-05)
1170- Re-submitted.  Includes vis-HepRep-05-02-07: fixes compiler issues and
1171  other minor fixes.
1172
117314th November 2003  John Allison  (vis-V05-02-04)
1174- Includes vis-HepRep-05-02-03: new HepRep XML driver for HepRep Version 2.
1175- Bug fix in G4VisManager::EndOfEvent.
1176
117712th November 2003  John Allison
1178- Bug in /vis/scene/add/volume: requestedDepthOfDescent now correctly
1179  propagated to "world" volume.
1180- modeling-V05-02-02: G4PhysicalVolumeModel: CalculateExtent always
1181  searches complete hierarchy.
1182- Change initialisation of G4VSceneHandler so that there is always a
1183  clear on first drawing  - fMarkForClearingTransientStore(true).
1184- Removed redundant code from G4VisManager::::EndOfRun.
1185
11866th November 2003  John Allison  (vis-V05-02-03)

1194- G4VRML2SceneHandlerFunc: changed const char* pv_name to G4String pv_name.
1195- G4XXXViewer: improved comments.
1196- modeling: GNUmakefile: rationalised (modeling-V05-02-01).
1197- test: changed MyPhysicsList to follow kernel changes.
1198
11994th November 2003  Gabriele Cosmo  (vis-V05-02-02)
1200- Includes removal of OPACS module.
1201- Includes "modeling-V05-02-00".

1520- Coworks with greps-V03-02-02 and intercoms-V03-02-04.
1521- Added G4VisManager::Draw(const G4Scale&,...  Needs intercoms-V03-02-04.
1522- Added template graphics system XXX.
1523- Improved verbosity guidance.
1524
152514th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-11)
1526- Coworks with greps-V03-02-02 and intercoms-V03-02-03.
1527- Moved default value G4Transform3D::Identity of argument from
1528  G4VSceneHandler::BeginPrimitives to
1529  G4VGraphicsScene::BeginPrimitives.  Needs intercoms-V03-02-03.
1530- Fixed bug in G4VSceneHandler::AddPrimitive(const G4Scale&).  Needs
1531  greps-V03-02-02.
1532- Added sceneHandler.Begin/EndPrimitives messages to models (long
1533  standing bug!).
1534- Removed "dummy" graphics systems in G4VisManager.cc.
1535- Improved robustness of some commands, particularly
1536  /vis/scene/notifyHandlers.
1537- Improved support for multiple viewers (but see OpenGL/History).
1538
153911th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-10-01)
1540- Implemented /vis/scene/endOfEventAction.
1541
15429th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-10-00)
1543- Note: non-standard tag to indicate internal use only.
1544- Added /vis/scene/create at start of compound command /vis/open to avoid
1545  warnings.
1546- Removed G4ModelingParameters::hierarchy.  It is no longer used.  The
1547  textual or graphical representation of the geometry hierarchy is now
1548  done in G4xxxTree classes in visua;ization/Tree.
1549- Removed /vis/scene/notifyHandlers from
1550  G4VVisCommandScene::UpdateVisManagerScene - too much updating going on.
1551  It was leading to recursive refreshing/updating.
1552- Implemented auto-refresh at end of event.  (See also OpenGL/History.)
1553  Introduced G4VSceneHandler::Get/SetMarkForClearingTransientStore for
1554  postponed (lazy) clearing of transients (e.g., trajectories) from store
1555  (graphical database) and view.  The mark is set at the end of
1556  G4VisManager::EndOfEvent and the actual clearing is done in:
1557    void G4VisManager::ClearTransientStoreIfMarked(){
1558      // Assumes valid view.
1559      if (fpSceneHandler->GetMarkForClearingTransientStore()) {
1560        fpSceneHandler->SetMarkForClearingTransientStore(false);
1561        fpSceneHandler->ClearTransientStore();
1562      }
1563    }
1564  which is called at the start of each G4VisManager::Draw and the beginning
1565  of G4VisManager::EndOfEvent.  Thus the picture stays from the end of all
1566  drawing for the event until the first drawing of the next event.
1567   
15685th August 2001  John Allison
1569- Small refinements to printing under new verbosity control.
1570
15714th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-10)
1572- Re-implemented verbosity control.  Output statements wherever possible
1573  are controlled by the verbosity in a simple graded message scheme:
1574    enum Verbosity {
1575      quiet,         // Nothing is printed.
1576      startup,       // Startup and endup messages are printed...
1577      errors,        // ...and errors...
1578      warnings,      // ...and warnings...
1579      confirmations, // ...and confirming messages...
1580      parameters,    // ...and parameters of scenes and views...
1581      all            // ...and everything available.
1582    };
1583  Note that the G4VisManager member object name and type have changed:
1584    Verbosity             fVerbosity;  // New.
1585    const G4int           fVerbose;
1586    // fVerbose is kept for backwards compatibility for some user
1587    // examples.  (It is used in the derived user vis managers to print
1588    // available graphics systems.)  It is initialised to 1 in the
1589    // constructor and cannot be changed.
1590
15913rd August 2001  John Allison
1592- Added README.quick, a quick installation guide.
1593
159430th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-09)
1595- Eliminated view parameters from G4VisManager.  Now, each view maintains its
1596  own parameters.  Can be copied from one view to another with:
1597    /vis/viewer/set/all <from-viewer-name>
1598    Copies view parameters from from-viewer to current viewer.
1599    Affects current viewer.
1600- Removed redundant methods from G4VisManager, mostly to do with old-style
1601  commands.

160327th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-08)
1604- Needs config-V03-02-01.
1605- Introduced environment variable G4VIS_NONE that, if set, no visualization
1606  drivers are built and no vis libraries are built, not even
1607  libG4vis_management.  (libG4modeling is still built.)  The C-pre-processor
1608  variables G4VIS_BUILD and G4VIS_USE are *not* set.
1609- Removed the need to specify environment variables for visualization drivers
1610  which do not need external packages or libraries, namely :
1611      G4VIS_BUILD_DAWNFILE_DRIVER
1612      G4VIS_BUILD_RAYTRACER_DRIVER
1613      G4VIS_BUILD_VRMLFILE_DRIVER
1614      G4VIS_BUILD_ASCIITREE_DRIVER
1615      G4VIS_BUILD_GAGTREE_DRIVER
1616    with associated G4VIS_USE environment variables:
1617      G4VIS_USE_DAWNFILE
1618      G4VIS_USE_RAYTRACER
1619      G4VIS_USE_VRMLFILE
1620      G4VIS_USE_ASCIITREE
1621      G4VIS_USE_GAGTREE
1622  For backwards compatibility, unless G4VIS_NONE is set, the corresponding
1623  C-pre-processor variables are automatically set.  Also, the C-pre-processor
1624  variables G4VIS_BUILD and G4VIS_USE are set.
1625- As before, environment variables for other drivers still need positive
1626  setting of their G4VIS_BUILD and G4VIS_USE environment variables.  In this
1627  category are:
1628      G4VIS_BUILD_DAWN_DRIVER
1629      G4VIS_BUILD_OPACS_DRIVER
1630      G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLX_DRIVER
1631      G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLWIN32_DRIVER
1632      G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLXM_DRIVER
1633      G4VIS_BUILD_OIX_DRIVER
1634      G4VIS_BUILD_OIWIN32_DRIVER
1635      G4VIS_BUILD_VRML_DRIVER
1636    with associated G4VIS_USE environment variables:
1637      G4VIS_USE_DAWN
1638      G4VIS_USE_OPACS
1639      G4VIS_USE_OPENGLX
1640      G4VIS_USE_OPENGLWIN32
1641      G4VIS_USE_OPENGLXM
1642      G4VIS_USE_OIX
1643      G4VIS_USE_OIWIN32
1644      G4VIS_USE_VRML
1645  In this case G4VIS_NONE must *not* be set.
1646- Fixed unchecked pointer in G4VSceneHandler::ClearStore().
1647
164825th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-07)
1649- Improved access to models (modeling-V03-02-03).
1650- Made G4VSceneHandler::fpModel non-const G4VModel* for convenience.
1651- Improved checks and warning messages in /vis/scene/add/scale.
1652
165324th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-06)
1654- Needs greps-V03-02-01 for small interface change to G4Scale.
1655- Includes modeling-V03-02-02.
1656- Force rebuild of graphics "stores" (graphical databases) and, if
1657  auto-refresh is true, refresh of all views
1658  (/vis/scene/notifyHandlers) after an addition to scene.
1659- Improvements to /vis/scene/add/scale:
1660  o Added colour.
1661  o Assigned a genuine extent.
1662
166323rd July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-05 is non existent - sorry!!!)
1664- Improved /vis/scene/add/scale.
1665- Improved auto-refreshing.
1666

1671- Modification of G4DAWNFILEViewer.cc
1672- PostScript command "showpage" is always added to g4_XX.eps
1673  so that it is printable. (It can also be inserted into
1674  LaTeX documents.
1675
167618th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-02)
1677- Ensured rotation and translation of replica is restored (modeling-V03-02-00)
1678  (fixes crashes in replica tracking).
1679
168014th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-01)
1681- Included raytracer-V03-02-00 (minor cosmetics).

1685
168614th July 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-02-patch01 in branch geant4-03-02-branch)
1687- Fixed crash in optimised mode: added Initialise() to viewers so
1688  that windows are opened after viewers are fully constructed.
1689

1695
169610th July  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-patch00 in branch geant4-03-02-branch)
1697- Corrected mistake which could cause crash if user specified a non-
1698  existent scene handler in /vis/sceneHandler/remove.
1699
170019th June 2001  Satoshi Tanaka (vis-V03-01-07)

1725  verbosity control.
1726- G4ASCIITree: Forced culling off so that all volumes are seen, even if

1741- Eliminated Linux pedantic warnings, except FukuiRenderer, VRML and OPACS.
1742
174322nd May 2001  John Allison
1744- Refined ASCIITree.
1745
174621st May 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-01-02)
1747- Minor bug corrections (mostly to fix things that used to work with the
1748  old /vis~/ commands but ceased to work with the new /vis/commands:
1749  o If a scene is empty at drawing time, the "world" is added.
1750  o Window size hint now works for OpenGL.
1751- Fixed some minor warnings for strict C++ (size_t, etc.).
1752
175318th May 2001 John Allison
1754- Removed unnecessary virtual inheritance of G4VViewer in G4RayTracerViewer.
1755- Introduced verbosity to ASCIITree.

1757
175815th May 2001 John Allison
1759- Fixed bug in name of /vis/viewer/set/sectionPlane command.
1760
17613rd May 2001 John Allison (vis-V03-01-01)
1762- Changes for greps-V03-01-01 (elimination of RW).
1763- Improvements in /vis/scene/add/volume.
1764- Added /vis/drawTree.
1765
176610th April 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-01-00)
1767- Added two new commands:
1768    /vis/scene/add/text
1769    /vis/scene/add/axes
1770- Added first version of ASCIITree to dump geometry hierarchy to
1771  standard output as ASCII stream.
1772  This requires two new environment variables:
1773    G4VIS_BUILD_ASCIITREE_DRIVER
1774    G4VIS_USE_ASCIITREE
1775  and config-V03-01-00.
1776
17772nd April 2001  John Allison
1778- Tidied OpenGL (opengl-V03-00-01) - see OpenGL/History.
1779
17802nd April 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-09)
1781- Fixed some warnings from DEC cxx.
1782
178315th March 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-08)
1784- Changed rotation of phi-replicas in G4PhysicalVolumeModel.cc to
1785  ensure correspondence with rule that phi=0 bisects the replica.
1786  WARNING: Prior to this fix the graphics did NOT correspond to the
1787  replica navigation.  If you have been relying on the graphics to
1788  position daughter volumes in a phi-replica, navigation will have
1789  been incorrect, possibly without causing a crash.  The above fix
1790  will change the apparent position as shown by the graphics and you
1791  will have to correct the positioning of daughters.  Make sure the
1792  diaghters are all properly enclosed within the replica.  Graphics
1793  and navigation now correspond,
1794
17957th March 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-07)
1796- Cosmetic corrections for ISO compliance.
1797
179823rd February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-06)
1799- Removed all references to RogueWave.
1800
18014th February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-05)
1802- Reverted to /vis/viewer commands updating vis manager's view parameters.
1803  Otherwise this can have a big effect on users if old commands are still
1804  being used.  Let's schedule this change for the next version of Geant4.
1805- Added the following new commands:
1806  /vis/enable [true|false]
1807  /vis/disable
1808  /vis/verbose [<verbosity-integer>]
1809  /vis/viewer/set/lineSegmentsPerCircle  [<number-of-sides-per-circle>]
1810  /vis/viewer/set/sectionPlane ...
1811  Only /vis/scene/add/text and /vis/scene/add/axes to go!!!
1812
18134th February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-04)
1814- /vis/viewer commands no longer update vis manager's view parameters.
1815- Most /vis~/ copmmands give DEPRECATED warning, except:
1816  /vis~/draw/axes
1817  /vis~/draw/text
1818  /vis~/set/section_plane
1819  /vis~/set/sides
1820  /vis~/set/verbose
1821  which have still to be re-implemented.  All /vis~/ commands are still
1822  available through /vis/ for the time being.  (Window size hint no longer
1823   works.)
1824- Added "auto refresh" to view parameters.
1825- Added "default" view parameters to viewers.
1826- Made OpenGL viewers "auto refresh" by default.
1827- Added:
1828  /vis/viewer/set/autoRefresh
1829  /vis/viewer/set/projection
1830- Added compound command:
1831  /vis/drawView [<theta-deg>] [<phi-deg>]
1832                [<pan-right>] [<pan-up>] [<pan-unit>]
1833                [<zoom-factor>]
1834                [<dolly>] [<dolly-unit>]
1835
18364th February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-03)
1837- Added several new vis commands:
1838  /vis/viewer/dolly
1839  /vis/viewer/dollyTo
1840  /vis/viewer/lightsThetaPhi
1841  /vis/viewer/lightsVector
1842  /vis/viewer/pan
1843  /vis/viewer/panTo
1844  /vis/viewer/viewpointThetaPhi
1845  /vis/viewer/viewpointVector
1846  /vis/viewer/zoom
1847  /vis/viewer/zoomTo
1848  /vis/viewer/set/hiddenMarker
1849  /vis/viewer/set/lightsMove
1850
18513rd February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-02)
1852- Tidied for CodeWizard.  Small changes to many files in management, modeling
1853  and OpenGL.
1854
18551st February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-01)
1856- Fixed cause of crash when setting viewpoint before creating scene (Bug #157).
1857  Solution: SetView no longer called when view parameters are changed.  In
1858  any case it's called just before drawing, whixh is the right place.
1859- Fixed /vis/set/sides problem (Satoshi Tanaka) (Bug #204).
1860  Solution: Update view's view parameters in /vis/set/sides - had somehow
1861  been overlooked.
1862
186325th January 2001  John Allison
1864- Added protection against empty G4Polyhedron objects.
1865   FukuiRenderer/src/G4FRSceneFunc.icc
1866   OPACS/src/G4GoSceneHandler.cc
1867   OpenGL/src/G4OpenGLSceneHandler.cc
1868   OpenInventor/src/G4OpenInventorSceneHandler.cc
1869   VRML/src/G4VRML1SceneHandlerFunc.icc
1870   VRML/src/G4VRML2SceneHandlerFunc.icc
1871
187225th January 2001  John Allison  (opengl-V03-00-00)
1873- Fixed Bug #120.  Implemented running re-calculation of up-vector in
1874  the case of "object rotation" (lights move with camera) to prevent
1875  "flipping" of view when camera passes through up-vector.  Note that
1876  the default is "camera rotation" (lights do not move with camera,
1877  i.e., remain fixed relative to object) so the default is that this
1878  "flipping" can happen.  To set "object rotation" (lights move with
1879  camera) use /vis/lights/move_with_camera true (soon to be
1880  /vis/viewer/set/lights move-with-camera) or click "Object" radio
1881  button on Rotation Panel in OpenGLXm mode.
1882- Changed some objects to references for efficiency.  E.g.:
1883  const G4Vector3D& vp = pView->fVP.GetViewpointDirection ().unit ();
1884
188518th January 2001  John Allison
1886- Corrected G4PhysicalVolumeModel.  This corrects a bug whereby the
1887  requested drawing of a physical volume and its decendants starting
1888  at a depth greater than 2 was incorrectly positioned on the screen.
1889- /vis/scene/include commands withdrawn - use equivalent commands
1890  /vis/scene/add.
1891- OpenGL: cosmetic and minor performance improvements.
1892
189316th January 2001  John Allison  (vis-03-00-00)
1894- All vis commands "available" in all G4 states.
1895- Other small cosmetic changes to commands.
1896- OpenGL: square and circle markers correctly rendered.
1897  Note: subsequent rotations in stored mode also rotate these markers.
1898- Some small changes to test  - see test/History.
1899
19002nd November 2000  Gunter Folger  (vis-V02-00-02)
1901- Added targets includes and clean_libs to visualization/GNUmakefile.
1902
190318th October 2000  John Allison  (vis-V02-00-01)

1911- Corrected "scene" where it should read "scene handler" in some
1912  comments and output statements.
1913
19143rd July 2000  John Allison
1915- Explicitly initialised all data members of G4ViewParameters in constructor.
1916

1918- Tagged for system testing.
1919
19208th June 2000  Guy Barrand
1921- OPACS/src/G4GoSceneHandler.cc : correct polyhedron
1922  wire-frame in order to remove some edges. Now the
1923  rendering is the same than for OpenGL driver.
1924   This was requested for long by ALICE, and had been
1925  requested for ATLAS by Gaston Parrour recently.
1926
19277th June 2000  John Allison
1928- /vis/viewer/update preferred, synonym /vis/viewer/show deprecated.

1980
198111th May 2000  Satoshi Tanaka vis-V01-01-03
1982- In G4DAWNFILEViewer.cc,
1983  <       strcpy( fPSViewer, "ghostview" );

2012- Updated README file.
2013
201412th April 2000  John Allison  vis-V01-01-01
2015- Made G4PhysicalVolumeModel::DescribeSolid virtual.
2016- G4PhysicalVolumeModel::DescribeSolid no longer deals with composite
2017  solids - now programmed into CompositeSolid::CreatePolyhedron, where
2018  CompositeSolid means G4IntersectionSolid, G4SubtractionSolid and
2019  G4UnionSolid.

2024- Removed unnecessary #includes from G4VSceneHandler.hh which required
2025  consequent inclusion in many other scene handlers and viewers.

2191- G4GoSceneHandler.cc/G4GoSceneHandler::EndPrimitives : modify
2192  the logic of setting the OMatrix for Go objects in order
2193  to avoid the usage of the CLHEP/Rotation.getAngleAxis that
2194  clearly has precision problem on some platforms (at least
2195  Linux and HP-UX).

2298          - Added (long unsigned int) cast in G4OpenGLXmRotationCallbacks.cc.
2299          - Added SetView and ShowView to G4OpenGLXViewer:
2300              // To force change of context...
2301              void G4OpenGLXViewer::SetView () {
2302                glXMakeCurrent (dpy, win, cx);
2303                G4OpenGLViewer::SetView (); 
2304              }
2305              // Hopefully to get better flushing in DEC OpenGL...
2306              void G4OpenGLXViewer::ShowView () {
2307                glXWaitGL ();
2308                glFlush ();
2309              }
2310
2311
2312vis-01-00-04 11th January 1999  John Allison

2333
2334vis-00-04-03  9th December 1998  John Allison
2335- Made /vis/ commands from /vis~/.  The idea is to maintain backwards
2336  compatibility while allowing us to "deprecate" the old commands over
2337  a period of time.  Some of these /vis/ commands respond with "superceded",
2338  i.e., superceded by new commands, but still available in /vis~/.
2339- OpenGL viewing volume increased by 20% to prevent corners being clipped.
2340
2341- 08/12/98 : G.Barrand : OpenInventor : due to
2342  huge load problems on various platforms, init only
2343  the HEPVis things that are needed.

2355  functions to G4ModelingParameters.
2356- Reverted to default assignment operator and copy constructor for
2357  G4ModelingParameters and G4ViewParameters.
2358- G4PhysicalVolumeModel can now handle invisible daughters.
2359- More new /vis/ commands - depends on intercoms-00-04-01.
2360- G4VScene passes DefaultVisAttributes* to ModelingParameters.
2361
2362vis-00-03-07  23rd November 1998  John Allison.

2377- VRML 2.0 Visualization driver is added to
2378  management/include/MyVisManager.cc.
2379
2380vis-00-03-05  9th November 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2381- VRML 2.0 Visualization driver is commited:
2382 (1) Generatin of VRML 2.0 format files to describe Geant4 simulation.
2383 (2) Interactive displaying of physiccal-volume names and copy numbers
2384 (3) Interactive displaying of hit positions (displayed strings are
2385     costomizable.
2386 (4) Wireframe drawing style of Geant4 visualization is reflected as
2387     transparency = 0.7.  This value is customizable.
2388     If transparency is 1.0, drawing of detector geometry is skipped,
2389     and hits can be picked easily.
2390
23916th November 1998  John Allison
2392- Implemented basic /vis/viewer commands.
2393- Added `const G4String& name' argument to G4VScene and G4VView constructors.
2394
2395vis-00-03-04  30th October 1998  John Allison
2396- Tagged.
2397
239829th October 1998  Guy Barrand
2399- G4OpenGLXView.hh, G4OpenGLXmView.cc, G4OpenGLXmWindowHandlingCallbacks.cc
2400  in order that things compile and compile without warnings on HP/aCC
2401
240214th October 1998  John Allison
2403- Augmented the new /vis/ commands.  Still not complete but they
2404  co-work with the old commands.
2405- Changed char* fName to G4String fName in G4VScene and G4VView.
2406  Consequent changes in G4OpenGLView.  Also OpenInventor?  Etc.
2407
240811th October 1998 Andy Walkden
2409- added (not a very good) version of hidden lines removal code. This code
2410  suffers from depth buffering artefacts. glPolygonOffset is a feature of
2411  OpenGL version 1.1, and can help overcome depth buffer problems. The code
2412  to utilise glPolygonOffset is committed, but commented out, as it doesn't
2413  seem to work with the version of Mesa available on rsplus currently. My
2414  ideal strategy is to enable depth testing, draw the model as lines, enable
2415  filled polygon offsetting (glPolygonOffset(1.0 /*offset scale factor*/,
2416  2/*offset bias*/); glEnable (GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_FILLED);) then draw the
2417  model as filled polygons. The offsetting should just add `2' (in window
2418  coordinates, I think) onto the z value of all vertices relating to filled
2419  polygons, thus dismissing the conflict between almost identical z values
2420  for lines and filled polygon edges.
2421
2422vis-00-03-03 9th October 1998  John Allison
2423- G4VisManager inherits G4VStateDependent.  This is used to draw
2424  end-of-event models.
2425
24264th October 1998 Andy Walkden
2427- Added ability for all G4OpenGLX derived graphics systems to produce
2428  vectored PostScript hardcopy. Facility for `automated screen dump'
2429  (i.e. pixmap output) still kept, as some rasterization features

2512
25134th August 1998 Andy Walkden
2514I made some changes to OpenGL code...
2515The changes are (i) to tidy up some redundant hidden line
2516removal function calls, (ii) to put some hidden line removal
2517code in G4OpenGLScene::AddPrimitive(G4Polyhedron) and
2518(iii) to add an option to generate an encapsulated postscript
2519file of the current view in OpenGLXm. There is now a button
2520in the Miscellany pulldown of the main menubar to bring up
2521a shell in which you can specify a filename, colour or black
2522and white and request the creation of a .eps file. The
2523code is to be found in G4OpenGLXView, and so is not bound
2524to the Xm user. Also it needs fixing for some Mesa
2525implementations, and the HP CDE environment manages to stuff
2526things up when rendering to a pixmap (although CDE makes a
2527mess of most other things as well, so this isn't
2528disastrous).
2529
2530
2531vis-00-01-08  21th July 1998  John Allison
2532- Removed automatic refresh from /vis/camera/reset in G4VisCommandsCamera.cc.
2533
2534vis-00-01-07b  21th July 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2535- Revised G4FRSCENE::SendBoundingBox() so that
2536  zooming polycy of  DAWN drivers becomes consistent with

2542
2543vis-00-01-06  19th July 1998  John Allison
2544- Default culling: culling - on, culling of invisible objects - on.
2545- set/drawing_style does *not* change culling flags.

2603  the head version of GNUmakefile.architecture.
2604- Consequential changes (improvements) to template handling in test19.cc
2605- Some minor improvements in modeling.
2606
2607vis-00-06-06  11th June 1998  John Allison
2608- Fixes to test_utils - see test/History.
2609- Improvements in modeling - see modeling/History.
2610
2611vis-00-06-05  11th June 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2612- In G4VisManMessDraw.cc and G4VisManMessSet.cc , ...
2613  //    G4double unit = G4UIcommand::valueOf (unitString);
2614        G4double unit = G4UnitDefinition::GetValueOf (unitString);
2615
2616vis-00-06-04  10th June 1998  John Allison

2623- Removed some unnecessary checks in G4VisManMess*.
2624
2625vis-00-06-03  27th May   1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2626- DAWNFILE driver is added. It is to generate g4.prim file
2627  under the current directory.  And make DAWN or DAVID invoke
2628  using the g4.prim file as an input. For details, see the blackboard
2629  document.
2630
263121st May 1998 Andy Walkden
2632- Added hidden line removal code to G4OpenGLView. HLR utilises OpenGL's
2633  stencil buffer, but still the drawn lines are a little fragmented
2634  (an effect seen often when depth buffering is used to resolve pixel
2635  rendering disputes).
2636- HLR requires wireframe rendering, filled polygon rendering and then wireframe
2637  rendering again. Hence, three visits to the kernel help to slow HLR
2638  rendering right down.
2639
2640vis-00-06-02  20th May   1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2641- Added G4VisFeaturesOfDAWNFILE.hh, cc
2642- Revised visualization/GNUmakefile, GNUmakefile.G4VIS_BUILD,
2643  GNUmakefile.G4VIS_USE
2644- These are for DAWNFILE driver in preparation, which enables to
2645  invoke DAVID directly from Geant4.
2646

2651- Introduced non-pure virtual functions
2652  Establish/DecommissionSpecials (G4PhysicalVolumeModel&) in
2653  G4VGraphicsScene with implementation of the former in G4VScene.
2654  Modified G4PhysicalVolumeModel to use it; also protected
2655  G4PhysicalVolumeModel against non-implementation of
2656  Establish/DecommissionSpecials.
2657- Template instantiations in G4RayView made exclusive to GNU_GCC
2658- Some minor changes under test - see test/History.
2659
266027th April 1998 Andy Walkden

2662  type of (inherits from) G4OpenGLXView.
2663- made code for haloing effects common to all OpenGL views.
2664- changed XUnmapWindow in G4OpenGLXView::~G4OpenGLXView to XDestroyWindow
2665  (idea of Guy's)
2666
266727th April 1998 Guy Barrand
2668- vis/OPACS : remove Begin/EndModeling in G4GoScene.
2669
2670vis-00-05-06  23rd April 1998  John Allison
2671- Changed test19.mac to test19.g4m and consequent change in test19.cc.
2672- Fixed order of linking vis-a-vis -lG4track and -lG4tracking (GB).
2673- Fixed inadvertent bug in test_utils/src/MyPhysicsList.cc.

2675
2676vis-00-05-05  21st April 1998  John Allison
2677- Added run-time command line argument: test19 [<session-type>] [<verbosity>]
2678- Removed #if GNU_GCC from template instantiation requests in test19.cc.
2679- Added fDefaultTextVisAttributes to G4ViewParameters.
2680- Added G4VScene::GetTextColour (changed G4FukuiRendererScene, G4GoScene and
2681  G4OpenInventorScene.
2682- Changed default view parameters: culling on and invisible object culling on.
2683- Tidied CreateScene/View.
2684- Continued BaBar development.
2685
268615th April 1998  John Allison
2687- Added test/EucIntfce/, test/Bogus/ and test/babar_utils/ for BaBar test code.
2688  Also a new main() in BaBarCallListTest.cc.  Also a data file call_list.dat.
2689  See babar_utils/README.
2690- Camera commands, except spin and orbit, no longer initiate draw.
2691- Text is blue for time being (visible on black or white background.)
2692
269315th April 1998 : Guy Barrand
2694- From discussion with John and Simone G4VToolkit
2695  has been renamed to G4VInteractorManager.
2696
2697vis-00-05-04a  11th April 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2698- Code improvements in DAWN driver
2699- (1) View parameters are sent to DAWN only at drawing times.
2700- (2) Way of getting marker size are made simpler by using
2701-     G4VScene::GetMarkerRadius ()  etc.
2702
2703vis-00-05-04  8th April 1998  John Allison
2704- Small bug fix - then tag for Easter.
2705
2706HEAD  6th April 1998  John Allison
2707- Added error printing to G4OpenGLScene::AddPrimitive (const G4Text& text).
2708- Added /vis~/draw/text.
2709- Added units to /vis~/draw/axes.
2710- Began the job of restructuring vis commands; so there is a new class
2711  G4VisCommandsCameraMessengers for starters!
2712
2713HEAD  4th April 1998  John Allison
2714- Removed automatic drawing after /vis~/set commands.  Now an explicit
2715  redraw is necessary, but it allows you to change parameters during
2716  building a view.  For example to superimpose projected hits on a
2717  section:
2718    /vis~/clear/view
2719    /vis~/set/section_plane on 0 0 20 cm 0 0 1
2720    /vis~/draw/current
2721    /vis~/set/section_plane off
2722    /run/beamOn
2723- Fixed small bug in OpenGL for section drawing.
2724- Made some small improvements in G4ViewParameters.
2725
2726vis-00-05-03  4th April 1998  John Allison
2727- Re-engineered maintenance of current depth, etc.  Needed new method
2728  G4VGraphicsScene::BeginModeling (G4PhysicalVolumeModel&) in
2729  graphics_reps.  The result is much cleaner model and modeling
2730  parameters classes.  Also, the current depth, physical volume and
2731  logical volume are immediately available as protected pointers in
2732  G4VScene.
2733- Required G4VScene::Begin/EndModeling to be invoked from subclass.
2734- Introduced G4NullModel to hold modeling parameters.  This avoids
2735  having to create a G4VModel for each graphics primitive.
2736
2737HEAD  3rd April 1998  John Allison
2738- Added GetMarkerDiameter/Radius to G4VScene.
2739- Bug fix in G4VScene::GetMarkerSize.
2740- Removed GetCurrentPhysicalVolume from G4PhysicalVolumeModel - now in
2741  G4ModelingParameters (but might move again soon!).
2742- test/GNUmakefile now uses "$(MAKE) separate" for vis libraries.
2743- test19 recognises argument "1" as a verbose flag value.
2744
2745HEAD April 2, 98 G.Barrand
2746- Modifications for Win32/NT.
2747- G4VIS_BUILD_[OIX, OIWIN32]_DRIVER, G4VIS_USE_[OIX, OIWIN32]
2748
2749vis-00-05-02  26th March 1998  John Allison
2750- Added GetMarkerSize to G4VScene.
2751- Made ~G4VisManager virtual.
2752- Added current logical volume and current physical volume to working
2753  space in modeling parameters.  So it is no longer necessary to cast
2754  to G4PhysicalVolumeModel; all such casts removed.
2755- Moved nested classes out of G4RayView.
2756
2757HEAD March 24, 98 G.Cosmo
2758- Modified G4VisManMessExpert.cc to correctly use random numbers
2759  by calling directly G4UniformRand().
2760
2761HEAD March 24, 98 G.Barrand
2762- GNUmakefile : MAKESHLIB changed in G4MAKESHLIB
2763
2764vis-00-05-01a  24 March 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2765- Geometry tree can be obtained by, e.g.,
2766  % grep PVName g4.prim > g4.tree
2767
2768vis-00-05-01  23rd March 1998  John Allison
2769- Made RegisterGraphicsSystems pure virtual.
2770- Added verbose level control to printing at initialization.
2771- Fixed (hopefully) bug in scene deletion.
2772- Made AddPrimitive (const G4Text/Circle/Square) pure virtual.
2773  (Had to add dummy void G4VRML1SCENE::AddPrimitive (const G4Text&).)
2774- Made AddPrimitive (const G4Polymarker&) virtual again.
2775- Opened some .hh files to G4VIS_USE flags.
2776- Removed Pre/PostAddThis from some graphics systems (not OPACS, OI).
2777- First implementation of G4ModelingParameters::hierarchy (DTREE).
2778- Added Get Global/Current Tag/Description to G4VModel.
2779- Introduced "working space" in G4ModelingParameters for geometry depth.
2780- Relocated some template instantiation requests (might give trouble on DEC).
2781
2782vis-00-04-05a  16th March 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2783- DAWN driver outputs physical-volume names and copy number.
2784
2785vis-00-04-05  5th March 1998  John Allison
2786- Added G4Text/Circle/Square in G4RayScene.hh.
2787- Added G4Text/Circle/Square in G4BoundingSphereScene.hh.
2788- Made AddPrimitive (const G4Polymarker&) non-virtual in G4VScene.hh.
2789
2790HEAD  5th March 1998  Andy Walkden

2870- This is interim code for testing by the visualization
2871  group and it will be tagged soon.  You must update to the
2872  head of graphics_reps and visualization simulatanouesly.
2873  It coworks (I hope - it's difficult to be 100% sure about
2874  this since I have a few changes for other categories in
2875  the pipeline - see previous email) with:

2888    visualization/GNUmakefile.transition_to_G4VIS_USE
2889    visualization/GNUmakefile.vis_cppflags_for_G4VIS_USE
2890  to turn the existing environment variables into the
2891  to-be-adopted G4VIS_... variables - see visualization/test/README.
2892- Consequent changes to other visualization GNUmakefiles.
2893- New way of instantiating graphics systems:
2894  Set the appropriate environment variables and include and
2895  compile G4VisRegisterGraphicsSystems.icc in your main():
2896    ...
2897    #include G4VisRegisterGraphicsSystems.icc
2898    ...
2899    main() {
2900      ...
2901- Added G4VisFeaturesOfXXX files which simple return a G4String.
2902 (Guy, Jeff, would you like to join this scheme?)
2903- Added commands /vis~/delete/scene and /vis~/delete/view.
2904- Added /vis~/show/view to test19.odb.
