- Updated unit test testSurfaceNormal.cc.

May 09, 2005  V.Grichine                 geom-csg-V07-00-04
- Updated implementation of SurfaceNormal(p) to get consistence with 
  Inside(p) functions for the treatment of phi/theta surfaces.
  They are treated now in both functions in terms of kAngTolerance.
  The reason is that historically SurfaceNormal(p) was using only
  kCarTolerance for estimation of shortest distance to a surface. Now,
  following the new updated specification, the surface selection is made
  according to Inside(p) approach (as kSurface is selected), i.e. - for
  phi/theta surfaces in terms of kAngTolerance.

  o Commented-out additional condition on check for Rmin intersection
    (t2 >= 0), recently introduced (roi2).
    Requires further investigation !!

    roots of equations in DistanceToIn() and DistanceToOut(). (E.Medernach)

- G4Cons.cc:
  o fix in DistanceToIn(p,v): corrected condition on conical surface to
    consider a real projection of the conical surface thickness on XY
    plane (0.5*kCarTolerance*secRMin instead of 0.5*kCarTolerance), when
    dealing with cons with large opening angle.
  o Updated unit test testG4Cons2.cc.

    if so, it will be set to 1e3*kRadTolerance.
  o Deactivated call to G4Exception in DistanceToOut(p) if p is outside,
    replaced by simple warning.
- G4Tubes.cc, G4Box.cc:
  o Deactivated call to G4Exception in DistanceToOut(p) if p is outside,
    replaced by simple warning.

Aug 08,   00   V. Grichine               geom-solids-csg-V02-00-01

  default implementation exists in G4VSolid).
- All implementations of DescribeYourselfTo (G4VGraphicsScene& scene) const
  now correctly written: scene.AddThis(*this).

 - G4Tubs.cc: fixed bug in function Inside(p).
              Removed (commented) in the code umproper addition of 2PI
              to Phi-angle particle (V.Grichine)
 - G4Hype[.hh.cc]: fixed several longstanding issues and bring methods
                   into compliance with specifications  (D.Williams)
 - Moved to "specific" the following classes:
   G4ClippablePolygon, G4EnclosingCylinder, G4Hype, G4PolyPhiFace,
   G4Polycone, G4PolyconeSide, G4Polyhedra, G4PolyhedraSide,
   G4ReduciblePolygon, G4IntersectingCone, G4SolidExtentList,
   G4VCSGface, G4VCSGfaceted.
 - Moved testG4Hype.cc and testG4Polycone.cc from CSG/test to
   specific/test
 - Moved generic tests "SBT" and "Fred" one level up to solids/test.
 - Organised class description comments for the Software Reference Manual
   in all headers.

 - G4PolyhedraSide.cc: fixed bug in G4PolyhedraSide::Normal(...).
   The method Normal(...) (used by G4VCSGfaceted::SurfaceNormal) was not
   filling in the argument bestDistance. This fixes a bug observed in
   G4Polyhedra::SurfaceNormal.

Mar 14,   00   V. Grichine
 - Added diagnostics in G4Cons, G4Sphere and G4Torus in function
   DistanceToOut(p,v,...).

 - Minor fixes to unit tests to make them up-to-date with recent
   development versions (already included in tag geometry-V01-00-00a).
 - G4PolyconeSide.cc, G4PolyhedraSide.cc: added explicit cast to G4int
   to avoid warnings on Linux.

Jan 19,   00   G. Cosmo                   geom-solids-csg-01-00-04
 - Fixed bug in DistanceToIn(p,v). Modified files: G4Trap.cc and
   testG4Trap.cc. (V.Grichine)
 - Syncronized file versions with HEAD (essentially CVS headers changes).
 - Fixes for missing migration on HEAD related to some files in test/fred
   and test/SBT.

 - Added initialisation to Eside "side" variable in DistanceToOut(p,v)
   in CSG solids   -->   Problem report from D.C. Williams, BaBar
 - A check in G4Trap Makeplane added.

 - Replaced 1/DBL_MAX with DBL_MIN (valid correction, seen in tests for STL) 
   in G4PolyPhiFace.cc, G4PolyconeSide.cc and G4PolyhedraSide.cc

Apr 29,   99   David Williams
 - G4Polyhedra and G4Polycone (and G4VCSGfaceted) modified:
         1. Implemented correct copy constructors and assignment operators.
         2. Fix some leaks for tracks that pass exactly through an edge. 
            Some leaks still remain: particularly if a track passes through
             a corner and between the curved edges of G4Polycone.
         3. G4Polyhedra argument numSide changed to G4int (from G4double)

 - Minor consistency fix to 8 basic CSG solids: 
   Tolerance used in calculation of extent but not in one place,
   and not another - this tripped up the client code. 

Feb 16,   99   David Williams
 - Repaired bugs in G4Polycone (G4PolyconeSide.cc) as found in
   test/testG4Polycone and missed in below.
 - Updated definition of DistanceToIn(p) and DistanceToOut(p) to
   return zero when the point p is on the surface of the solid.

Feb 12,   99   David Williams
 - src/G4PolyconeSide.cc updated (revision 1.4) to fix a bug discovered by
   test/testG4Polycone.

Feb   9,  99   David C. Williams      (davidw@scipp.ucsc.edu)
 - I've committed new versions of the CSG Polycone and Polyhedra in the
   geant4 repository, including a new utility class called
   G4ReduciblePolygon. The new versions fix several subtle bugs which my  
   "test3" batch geometry testing code uncovered. In addition, the new class
   G4ReduciblePolygon is used to run strict tests on the validity of input
   parameters.
   To fix a bug in Polyhedra, I had to back out some fancy code that
   allowed it to calculate intersections at a speed that was independent of
   the number of sides. The new version now runs at a speed proportional to
   the number of sides, and is thus much slower for polyhedras with many
   sides. I can fix this, but I thought it would be best to get the bug fixes
   in as soon as possible.
