33// Class Description:
34//
35// A singleton class for computation and storage of the tolerance values
36// used by the geometry modeler for precision on boundaries.
37// The Cartesian tolerance defines the thickness of the surface of the
38// geometrical shapes for their inner funtions and for the tracking. The
39// tolerance must be greater than the largest mathematical error from the
40// shape distance calculation functions. The tolerance is centred on the
41// surface, e.g. the Inside() method of a solid uses a tolerance dx +/- kTol/2.
42// The Cartesian tolerance can either be set to a fixed value (1E-9 mm)
43// or to a value computed on the basis of the maximum extent of the
44// world volume assigned through the G4GeometryManager at the beginning
45// of the application -before- any geometrical object is created.
