// Class Description:
//
// @class G4AttDef
//
// @brief This class represents a HepRep-style Attribute Definition.
// The G4AttDef is used to define new kinds of attributes that can
// then have values set for a Trajectory, Trajectory Point or Sensitive
// Detector Hit.  These attributes are then made available to the end user
// in an interactive visualization system (such as WIRED).
// Values are set by creating G4AttValue objects and attaching them to the
// relevant Trajectory, Trajectory Point or Sensitive Detector Hit.
// The association between the G4AttValue and the G4AttDef object is
// made through the data member "name".
// For details, see the HepRep home page at http://heprep.freehep.org
