628- Collected tags below.  Main features since Release 8.0:
629  o Added /vis/scene/transientsAction.  The default is "rerun", i.e.,
630    when the viewer requests, the previous event or run will be
631    processed again with the original random number seed so that
632    transients (trajectories, hits, user drawing, etc.) are
633    reconstructed.  Thus, transients are "remembered" and may be
634    copied between graphics systems.  Turn off with
635    "/vis/scene/transientsAction none".
636  o Introduced /vis/geometry/... for editing vis attributes of
637    geometry volumes.

80512th October 2005  John Allison (vis-V07-01-03)
806- G4VisCommandsViewer.cc: Trapped zero viewer pointer in /vis/viewer/update
807  (bug found by system test of vis-V07-01-02).
808
8092nd Oct 2005  Joseph Perl (vis-V07-01-02)

894- opengl-V07-00-03: Fixed compilation problem in OpenGL on SUN.
895- HepRepFile: Fixed bug introduced in ClearTransientStore. (Joseph Perl)
896
89727th May 2005  John Allison

907
90812th May 2005  John Allison
909- Moved zlib to externals/zlib.
910
9116th May 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-14)
912- OpenGL: fixed bug (views not refreshed - opengl-V07-00-02).
913- Improved ASSCIITree guidance.
914- G4VisExecutive: Replaced printing of available graphics systems.
915  Now corresponds to behaviour of most old examples vis managers.
916- Fixed some pedantic warnings from gcc 4.
917- G4PhysicalVolumeModel: SetCopyNo of replicas and paramaterised
918  volumes (modeling-V07-00-00).

922
92322nd April 2005  John Allison
924- OpenGL: Implemented text for X-Windows viewers (opengl-V07-00-00/1).
925
92610th April 2005  John Allison  (visman-V07-00-00)
927- G4VisCommandsSceneAdd.cc: 2nd attempt to fix access to fpVisManager
928  from nested class for SUN.
929
93016th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-13)
931- G4VisCommandsSceneAdd.cc: fixed access to fpVisManager from nested class.
932- For gcc 2.95.2: Fixed G4String return for viewer commands.
933- Added constructor and virtual destructor to G4VUserVisAction.
934
93515th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-12)
936- Added return type G4int to G4ViewParameters::SetNoOfSides and
937  G4ModelingParameters::SetNoOfSides.  They return no. of sides, i.e.,
938  sides per circle in polyhedron contruction, that are actually set;
939  there is a lower limit of 12.
940- G4PhysicalVolumeModel: bug fix: no. of rotation steps correctly applied.
941
94210th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-11)
943- Reviewed all vis commands.  Improved guidance, simplified and
944  rationalised the commands.
945
9469th March 2005  John Allison
947- Removed "remove" and "edit" commands.
948- G4VisManager: removed "Delete" methods. (Removing or deleting an
949  existing scene, scene handler or viewer is very messy and not
950  necessary.  When a user creates a new one, he/she may leave the old
951  one around without harm.  It may be left unused or selected again later
952  if the user wants.)
953- Removed automatic parameter candidate specification for commands
954  that take an argument that is a scene, scene handler or viewer
955  name - it is checked in SetNewValue methods.  (The code was just
956  too complicated and, anyway, the result hindered, rather than
957  helped the user, because it restricted the parameter values and
958  mis-typing gave obscure messages.  Now the messages are clearer and,
959  as the guidance points out, the list of possible names can be
960  obtained with a "list" command.)
961- Made "list" commands flag current items.
962- Improved guidance for /vis/scene commands.  Still to do (groan!):
963    /vis/scene/add
964    /vis/sceneHandler
965    /vis/viewer
966
9679th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-10, needs greps-V07-00-01)
968- Refined logo and scale.
969- Improved physical volume clipping.
970- G4VisManager: Added default G4Transform3D::Identity to
971  objectTransformation argument in Draw methods.
972
9734th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-09)
974- Added first implementation of cutaway - a clipping box for physical
975  volume tree:
976    vis/scene/add/volume ! ! ! box km 0 1 0 1 0 1
977  (Does not seem properly to clip volumes wholly inside clipping volume.)
978
9793rd March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-08)
980- Introduced /vis/scene/add/logo.
981- Added Set methods to G4VModel.
982- Added argument to G4CallbackModel::operator()(const G4Transform3D&) so that
983  the model could implement a given transformation.  Provided default for
984  G4VUserVisAction::(const G4Transform3D& = G4Transform3D::Identity).
985- Improved guidance for:
986    compound commands
987    ASCIITree commands
988- Used std::istrstream::istrstream(std::string) throughout.
989
99023rd February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-07)
991- Protected scene handlers for the case of the drawing of solids NOT
992  from a physical volume tree:
993    G4FRSceneFunc.icc
994    G4OpenGLSceneHandler.cc
995    G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler.cc
996    G4ASCIITreeSceneHandler.cc
997    G4GAGTreeSceneHandler.cc
998- Fixed a problem with ClearTransientStore.  ClearTransientStore
999  should restrict itself to its job.  In the following files,
1000  ClearTransientStore also redraws the view.  In other places, a draw
1001  command often follows, so it is not needed here.  In fact it can
1002  cause a double recursive descent into DrawView, so the existing code
1003  has been commented out (JA - 23/Jan/05):
1004    G4FRSceneFunc.icc
1005    G4HepRepFileSceneHandler.cc
1006    G4OpenGLImmediateSceneHandler.cc
1007    G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler.cc
1008    G4VRML1SceneHandlerFunc.icc
1009    G4VRML2SceneHandlerFunc.icc
1010    G4XXXSceneHandler.cc
1011- Removed (commented out) some code that forced extra kernel visits,
1012  purportedly to overcome a problem in OpenGLStored methods.  Let's
1013  fix OpenGL if necessary:
1014    G4VSceneHandler.cc
1015    G4VViewer.cc
1016- Commented out SetView and ClearView in /vis/viewer/refresh:
1017    G4VisCommandsViewer.cc
1018- Changed signature of G4VViewer::SetNeedKernelVisit(G4bool) for compatibility.
1019
102019th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-06 with greps-V07-00-00)
1021- Added G4VUserVisAction and G4CallbackModel.
1022- Implemented /vis/scene/add/userAction.
1023- Fixed bug in /vis/viewer/update (check existence of scene handler and scene).
1024
102515th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-05)
1026- Introduced drawing of readout geometry for logical volumes.
1027- For drawing of logical volumes, introduced boolean flags to control
1028  drawing of:
1029    o boolean components (if any)
1030    o voxels (if any) (note: voxels are not created until start of run)
1031    o readout geometry (if any)
1032- Augmented commands /vis/specify and /vis/scene/add/logicalVolume to use
1033  above flags.
1034- G4ASCIITree: Added printing of names of sensitive detector (if any) and
1035  readout geometry (if any).
1036
103715th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-04)
1038- Updated READMEs for G4VisExecutive.  Removed references to OPACS.
1039
10409th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-03)
1041- Migration from AddThis to AddSolid and AddCompound: fixed previously
1042  missed FukuiRendererSceneHander.
1043
10444th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-02)
1045- Introduced G4VisExecutive.  MyVisManager deprecated.
1046
104727th January 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-01, needs intercoms-V07-00-00)
1048- Migration from AddThis to AddSolid and AddCompound.
1049- AddSolid: Methods for adding solids to the scene handler.  They
1050  must always be called in the triplet PreAddSolid, AddSolid and
1051  PostAddSolid.  The transformation and visualization attributes
1052  must be set by the call to PreAddSolid.  A possible default
1053  implementation is to request the solid to provide a G4Polyhedron
1054  or similar primitive - see, for example, G4VSceneHandler.
1055- AddCompound: Methods for adding "compound" GEANT4 objects to the scene
1056  handler.  These methods may either (a) invoke "user code" that
1057  uses the "user interface", G4VVisManager (see, for example,
1058  G4VSceneHandler in the Visualization Category, which for
1059  trajectories uses G4VTrajectory::DrawTrajectory, via
1060  G4TrajectoriesModel in the Modeling Category) or (b) invoke
1061  AddPrimitives below (between calls to Begin/EndPrimitives) or (c)
1062  use graphics-system-specific code or (d) any combination of the
1063  above.
1064
106526th January 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-00)
1066- G4VisManager:: removed optional argument
1067  const G4Transform3D& objectTransformation = G4Transform3D::Identity
1068  from Draw methods for a hit and trajectory.
1069- Trapped illegal nesting of Begin/EndPrimitives.
1070- Added fpCurrentMaterial to G4VSceneHandler and relevant derived
1071  classes and models for work with G4PhysicalVolumeModel via
1072  EstablishSpecials.  So now, the material is also available (in addition
1073  to current depth, logical and physical volum) during drawing of geometry
1074  items.
1075- Changed ASCIITree to use G4VSolid::GetCubicVolume and
1076  G4LogicalVolume::GetMass.
1077- Changed G4PhysicalVolumeMassScene to use G4VSolid::GetCubicVolume.
1078- Improved guidance for /vis/viewer/set/hiddenMarker.
1079- G4VisCommandsViewerSet: made Up and Viewpoint vectors unit for safety.
1080- Some additions to test area.
1081
108210th December 2004 Gabriele Cosmo (vis-V06-02-09)
1083- Replaced M_PI with CLHEP's pi.
1084
10857th December 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-02-08)
1086- Tagged right after migration to cmath
1087- All occurences of include <math.h> have now become include <cmath>.
1088- All math functions are now prefaced with std::
1089
10907th December 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-02-07)
1091- Tagged right before migration to cmath
1092
109326th November 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-02-06)
1094- Tagged for release 7.0.
1095- Made from vis-V06-02-05
1096- plus opengl-V06-02-07 by John Allison
1097- plus vis-HepRep-V06-02-02 by Mark Donszelmann
1098- plus openinventor-V07-00-00 by Guy Barrand
1099
110018th November 2004  John Allison
1101- Included opengl-V06-02-07.
1102
110311th November 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-05)
1104- Made use of smart method GetPolyhedron for solids.  This greatly
1105  speeds 2nd and subsequent drawings when kernel access is required.
1106- Rationalised use of EstablishSpecials: functionality moved to base class.
1107- Removed use of obsolete G4Polymarker::line.
1108
110922nd September 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-04)
1110- Moved Doxyfile to management.  doxygen output to tmp area.
1111- modeling-V06-02-01 - small fixes.
1112- vistree-V06-02-01 - small fixes.
1113- opengl-V06-02-06 - Trap non-regular polyhedra and other small changes.
1114- DAWN-V06-02-00 - Improve diagnostic on trapping non-regular polyhedra.
1115- vistest-V06-02-02: refined rotated tube test.
1116
111713th September 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-03)
1118- vistree-V06-02-00: Improved ASCIITree:
1119  verbosity >= 3: prints volume, density of all volumes in hierarchy.
1120  verbosity >= 4: calculates the mass of the complete geometry tree taking
1121    into account daughters up to the depth specified for each physical
1122    volume in the current scene.  Culling is ignored so that all volumes
1123    are processed.  The calculation is quite tricky, since it involves
1124    subtracting the mass of that part of the mother that is occupied by
1125    each daughter and then adding the mass of the daughter, and so on
1126    down the heirarchy.  Uses G4PhysicalVolumeMassScene - see below.
1127  Added option to write to file (/vis/ASCIITree/set/outFile).
1128- modeling-V06-02-00: Added G4PhysicalVolumeMassScene and improvements
1129  to G4PhysicalVolumeModel.  See modeling/History for more details.
1130- Removed obsolete file: G4VisToOldVisCommands.hh
1131- Corrected mistake in /vis/viewer/set/*Vector commands.
1132- Augmented ParameterisedBox and rotated a tracker tube in test directory.
1133- Brought README.built_in_commands up to date for Geant4 6.2.  Removed all
1134  references to old commands.'
1135
11363rd August 2004  John Allison
1137- Rationalised vis command code (uses G4UIcommand static conversion
1138  functions where possible).
1139- Removed G4ViewParameters::DrawingStyle GetDrawingStyle (const
1140  G4Visible&).  Instead, developer has to:
1141    // Get vis attributes - pick up defaults if none.
1142    const G4VisAttributes* pVA =
1143      fpViewer -> GetApplicableVisAttributes (v.GetVisAttributes ());
1144  where v is the visible object (polyline, circle, polyhedron, etc.), and:
1145    // Get view parameters that the user can force through the vis
1146    // attributes, thereby over-riding the current view parameter.
1147    G4ViewParameters::DrawingStyle drawing_style = GetDrawingStyle (pVA);
1148    G4bool isAuxEdgeVisible = GetAuxEdgeVisible (pVA);
1149  Most developers do this anyway, so the removed routine was redundant
1150  and resulting code is more efficient and transparent.  To get
1151  colour, the developer can pick up directly from the vis attrributes,
1152  pVA, obtained as above:
1153    const G4Colour& c = pVA -> GetColour ();
1154  or use a slightly less efficient method:
1155    const G4Colour& c = GetColour (v);
1156  where v is the visible object.
1157  Note that for text, the developer must use a different procedure,
1158  since the default text colour is determined by the default text vis
1159  attributes, which may be specified independent of default vis
1160  attributes of other types of visible objects.  A function,
1161  GetTextColour, is provided and the recommended use is:
1162    const G4Colour& c = GetTextColour (text);  // Picks up default if none.
1163- Rationalised use of vis attributes in OpenGL and XXX.
1164
116528th July 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-02 with greps-V06-02-00)
1166- Implemented force auxiliary edge visible feature of G4VisAttributes.
1167- Included openinventor-V06-02-00 (minor revision - Guy Barrand).
1168
116923rd July 2004  John Allison
1170- Added auxiliary edge visible flag to G4ViewParameters and a new
1171  command, /vis/viewer/set/auxiliaryEdge.  (Auxiliary edges are not
1172  genuine edges of the volume.  They may be in a curved surface made
1173  out of polygons, for example, or in plane surface of complicated
1174  shape that has to be broken down into simpler polygons.
1175  HepPolyhedron breaks all surfaces into triangles or quadrilaterals.
1176  There will be auxiliary edges for any volumes with a curved surface,
1177  such as a tube or a sphere, or a volume resulting from a Boolean
1178  operation.  Normally, they are not shown, but sometimes it is useful
1179  to see them.  In particular, a sphere, because it has no egdes, will
1180  not be seen in wireframe mode in some graphics systems unless this
1181  flag is turned on.)
1182
118316th July 2004  John Allison
1184- Refined forced wireframe algorithm - *always* force wireframe even
1185  if hidden line removal is specified.
1186- opengl-V06-02-04.
1187
118815th July 2004  John Allison
1189- Small improvement to G4XXX (sample graphics system).
1190

1584  implement ClearTransientStore and ensure rebuilding of permanent store if
1585  necessary.
1586- Auto-refresh (notifyHandlers) after attaching scene.
1587- Changed default colour of scale to red and fixed a couple of small bugs in
1588  the implementation of AddPrimitive(G4Scale).
1589- Improved verbosity guidance.
1590- Improved /vis/scene/add/scale guidance (needs greps-V03-02-04).
1591- Removed /vis/viewer/refresh from compound commands.
1592- Capitalised 'R' in /vis/viewer/set/autoRefresh.
1593
159429th August 2001  John Allison/Joseph Perl  (vis-V03-02-14)
1595- Needs config-V03-02-06.
1596- First developers release of HepRep graphics driver.
1597
159824th August 2001  Joseph Perl  (vis-V03-02-13-00)
1599- First inclusion of HepRep graphics driver.
1600
160124th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-13)
1602- Fixed bugs in G4VisManager::GeometryHasChanged.
1603- Separated out G4Scene::CalculateExtent.
1604- Improved robustness and timeliness of invocation of some commands.
1605- Improved READMEs.
1606- Reduced warnings from OpenGL - see OpenGL/History.
1607- Cosmetic changes to test.
1608- Added explicit invocation of base class methods to avoid warnings about
1609  hiding of base class methods.
1610
161117th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-12)
1612- Coworks with greps-V03-02-02 and intercoms-V03-02-04.
1613- Added G4VisManager::Draw(const G4Scale&,...  Needs intercoms-V03-02-04.
1614- Added template graphics system XXX.
1615- Improved verbosity guidance.
1616
161714th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-11)
1618- Coworks with greps-V03-02-02 and intercoms-V03-02-03.
1619- Moved default value G4Transform3D::Identity of argument from
1620  G4VSceneHandler::BeginPrimitives to
1621  G4VGraphicsScene::BeginPrimitives.  Needs intercoms-V03-02-03.
1622- Fixed bug in G4VSceneHandler::AddPrimitive(const G4Scale&).  Needs
1623  greps-V03-02-02.
1624- Added sceneHandler.Begin/EndPrimitives messages to models (long
1625  standing bug!).
1626- Removed "dummy" graphics systems in G4VisManager.cc.
1627- Improved robustness of some commands, particularly
1628  /vis/scene/notifyHandlers.
1629- Improved support for multiple viewers (but see OpenGL/History).
1630
163111th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-10-01)
1632- Implemented /vis/scene/endOfEventAction.
1633
16349th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-10-00)
1635- Note: non-standard tag to indicate internal use only.
1636- Added /vis/scene/create at start of compound command /vis/open to avoid
1637  warnings.
1638- Removed G4ModelingParameters::hierarchy.  It is no longer used.  The
1639  textual or graphical representation of the geometry hierarchy is now
1640  done in G4xxxTree classes in visua;ization/Tree.
1641- Removed /vis/scene/notifyHandlers from
1642  G4VVisCommandScene::UpdateVisManagerScene - too much updating going on.
1643  It was leading to recursive refreshing/updating.
1644- Implemented auto-refresh at end of event.  (See also OpenGL/History.)
1645  Introduced G4VSceneHandler::Get/SetMarkForClearingTransientStore for
1646  postponed (lazy) clearing of transients (e.g., trajectories) from store
1647  (graphical database) and view.  The mark is set at the end of
1648  G4VisManager::EndOfEvent and the actual clearing is done in:
1649    void G4VisManager::ClearTransientStoreIfMarked(){
1650      // Assumes valid view.
1651      if (fpSceneHandler->GetMarkForClearingTransientStore()) {
1652        fpSceneHandler->SetMarkForClearingTransientStore(false);
1653        fpSceneHandler->ClearTransientStore();
1654      }
1655    }
1656  which is called at the start of each G4VisManager::Draw and the beginning
1657  of G4VisManager::EndOfEvent.  Thus the picture stays from the end of all
1658  drawing for the event until the first drawing of the next event.
1659   
16605th August 2001  John Allison
1661- Small refinements to printing under new verbosity control.
1662
16634th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-10)
1664- Re-implemented verbosity control.  Output statements wherever possible
1665  are controlled by the verbosity in a simple graded message scheme:
1666    enum Verbosity {
1667      quiet,         // Nothing is printed.
1668      startup,       // Startup and endup messages are printed...
1669      errors,        // ...and errors...
1670      warnings,      // ...and warnings...
1671      confirmations, // ...and confirming messages...
1672      parameters,    // ...and parameters of scenes and views...
1673      all            // ...and everything available.
1674    };
1675  Note that the G4VisManager member object name and type have changed:
1676    Verbosity             fVerbosity;  // New.
1677    const G4int           fVerbose;
1678    // fVerbose is kept for backwards compatibility for some user
1679    // examples.  (It is used in the derived user vis managers to print
1680    // available graphics systems.)  It is initialised to 1 in the
1681    // constructor and cannot be changed.
1682
16833rd August 2001  John Allison
1684- Added README.quick, a quick installation guide.
1685
168630th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-09)
1687- Eliminated view parameters from G4VisManager.  Now, each view maintains its
1688  own parameters.  Can be copied from one view to another with:
1689    /vis/viewer/set/all <from-viewer-name>
1690    Copies view parameters from from-viewer to current viewer.
1691    Affects current viewer.
1692- Removed redundant methods from G4VisManager, mostly to do with old-style
1693  commands.
1694
169527th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-08)
1696- Needs config-V03-02-01.
1697- Introduced environment variable G4VIS_NONE that, if set, no visualization
1698  drivers are built and no vis libraries are built, not even
1699  libG4vis_management.  (libG4modeling is still built.)  The C-pre-processor
1700  variables G4VIS_BUILD and G4VIS_USE are *not* set.
1701- Removed the need to specify environment variables for visualization drivers
1702  which do not need external packages or libraries, namely :
1703      G4VIS_BUILD_DAWNFILE_DRIVER
1704      G4VIS_BUILD_RAYTRACER_DRIVER
1705      G4VIS_BUILD_VRMLFILE_DRIVER
1706      G4VIS_BUILD_ASCIITREE_DRIVER
1707      G4VIS_BUILD_GAGTREE_DRIVER
1708    with associated G4VIS_USE environment variables:
1709      G4VIS_USE_DAWNFILE
1710      G4VIS_USE_RAYTRACER
1711      G4VIS_USE_VRMLFILE
1712      G4VIS_USE_ASCIITREE
1713      G4VIS_USE_GAGTREE
1714  For backwards compatibility, unless G4VIS_NONE is set, the corresponding
1715  C-pre-processor variables are automatically set.  Also, the C-pre-processor
1716  variables G4VIS_BUILD and G4VIS_USE are set.
1717- As before, environment variables for other drivers still need positive
1718  setting of their G4VIS_BUILD and G4VIS_USE environment variables.  In this
1719  category are:
1720      G4VIS_BUILD_DAWN_DRIVER
1721      G4VIS_BUILD_OPACS_DRIVER
1722      G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLX_DRIVER
1723      G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLWIN32_DRIVER
1724      G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLXM_DRIVER
1725      G4VIS_BUILD_OIX_DRIVER
1726      G4VIS_BUILD_OIWIN32_DRIVER
1727      G4VIS_BUILD_VRML_DRIVER
1728    with associated G4VIS_USE environment variables:
1729      G4VIS_USE_DAWN
1730      G4VIS_USE_OPACS
1731      G4VIS_USE_OPENGLX
1732      G4VIS_USE_OPENGLWIN32
1733      G4VIS_USE_OPENGLXM
1734      G4VIS_USE_OIX
1735      G4VIS_USE_OIWIN32
1736      G4VIS_USE_VRML
1737  In this case G4VIS_NONE must *not* be set.
1738- Fixed unchecked pointer in G4VSceneHandler::ClearStore().
1739
174025th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-07)
1741- Improved access to models (modeling-V03-02-03).
1742- Made G4VSceneHandler::fpModel non-const G4VModel* for convenience.
1743- Improved checks and warning messages in /vis/scene/add/scale.
1744
174524th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-06)
1746- Needs greps-V03-02-01 for small interface change to G4Scale.
1747- Includes modeling-V03-02-02.
1748- Force rebuild of graphics "stores" (graphical databases) and, if
1749  auto-refresh is true, refresh of all views
1750  (/vis/scene/notifyHandlers) after an addition to scene.
1751- Improvements to /vis/scene/add/scale:
1752  o Added colour.
1753  o Assigned a genuine extent.
1754
175523rd July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-05 is non existent - sorry!!!)
1756- Improved /vis/scene/add/scale.
1757- Improved auto-refreshing.
1758
175921st July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-04)
1760- Added /vis/scene/add/scale.  Needs greps-V03-02-00 and intercoms-V03-02-02.
1761
176219th July 2001  Satoshi Tanaka  (vis-V03-02-03)
1763- Modification of G4DAWNFILEViewer.cc
1764- PostScript command "showpage" is always added to g4_XX.eps
1765  so that it is printable. (It can also be inserted into
1766  LaTeX documents.
1767
176818th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-02)
1769- Ensured rotation and translation of replica is restored (modeling-V03-02-00)
1770  (fixes crashes in replica tracking).
1771
177214th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-01)
1773- Included raytracer-V03-02-00 (minor cosmetics).
1774- Minor changes in G4OpenGLXViewer.cc to eliminate pedantic ISO C++ warnings.
1775- Merged vis-V03-02-patch01 (below) to head.
1776- Included new disclaimer.
1777
177814th July 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-02-patch01 in branch geant4-03-02-branch)
1779- Fixed crash in optimised mode: added Initialise() to viewers so
1780  that windows are opened after viewers are fully constructed.
1781
178210th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-00)
1783- Removed old-style commands.
1784- Removed maintenance of G4VisManager's G4ViewParameters object (this
1785  will be removed soon).
1786- Merged vis-V03-02-patch00 (below) to head.
1787
178810th July  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-patch00 in branch geant4-03-02-branch)
1789- Corrected mistake which could cause crash if user specified a non-
1790  existent scene handler in /vis/sceneHandler/remove.
1791
179219th June 2001  Satoshi Tanaka (vis-V03-01-07)
1793-OS dependence is removed from the DAWN-network driver.
1794 * gethostname() removed
1795 * G4SocketConfig.hh and G4SocketMacro.hh are removed.
1796- Now "setenv G4DAWN_HOST_NAME hostname" is mandatory to use
1797  the DAWN-network driver.
1798
179915th June 2001  John Allison
1800- Added GAGTree to G4VisManager.cc, MyVisManager.cc.  Need corresponding
1801  changes in config.
1802
180315th June 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-01-06)
1804- Added 2nd template argument (less) to sets in G4ASCIITreeSceneHandler and
1805  G4GAGTreeSceneHandler.
1806
180715th June 2001  Satoshi Tanaka (vis-V03-01-05)
1808- The  first committing of GAGTree driver.
1809- Other files in ./Tree/ are the same as vis-V03-01-04.
1810
18115th June 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-01-04)
1812- Moved re-useable code from G4ASCIITree to G4VTree.
1813- Made sure all pointers in G4VisManager are initialised on construction.
1814
18154th June 2001  John Allison
1816- G4ASCIITree: Added logical volume name and solid name and type under
1817  verbosity control.
1818- G4ASCIITree: Forced culling off so that all volumes are seen, even if
1819  "invisible".
1820
182129th May 2001  John Allison
1822- Small clean up in test directory.
1823
182425th May 2001  John Allison
1825- Bug fix in G4ASCIITree.cc: initialise fVerbosity(0).
1826
182724th May 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-01-03)
1828- Added missing files G4ASCIITreeMessenger.hh/cc.
1829- Bug fix in G4ASCIITreeMessenger.cc: currentAsDefault = true.
1830- Drivers in alphabetical order in MyVisManager.cc.
1831
183223rd May 2001  John Allison
1833- Eliminated Linux pedantic warnings, except FukuiRenderer, VRML and OPACS.
1834
183522nd May 2001  John Allison
1836- Refined ASCIITree.
1837
183821st May 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-01-02)
1839- Minor bug corrections (mostly to fix things that used to work with the
1840  old /vis~/ commands but ceased to work with the new /vis/commands:
1841  o If a scene is empty at drawing time, the "world" is added.
1842  o Window size hint now works for OpenGL.
1843- Fixed some minor warnings for strict C++ (size_t, etc.).
1844
184518th May 2001 John Allison
1846- Removed unnecessary virtual inheritance of G4VViewer in G4RayTracerViewer.
1847- Introduced verbosity to ASCIITree.
1848- Proper deletion of directories in G4VisManagerRegisterMessengers.
1849
185015th May 2001 John Allison
1851- Fixed bug in name of /vis/viewer/set/sectionPlane command.
1852
18533rd May 2001 John Allison (vis-V03-01-01)
1854- Changes for greps-V03-01-01 (elimination of RW).
1855- Improvements in /vis/scene/add/volume.
1856- Added /vis/drawTree.
1857
185810th April 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-01-00)
1859- Added two new commands:
1860    /vis/scene/add/text
1861    /vis/scene/add/axes
1862- Added first version of ASCIITree to dump geometry hierarchy to
1863  standard output as ASCII stream.
1864  This requires two new environment variables:
1865    G4VIS_BUILD_ASCIITREE_DRIVER
1866    G4VIS_USE_ASCIITREE
1867  and config-V03-01-00.
1868
18692nd April 2001  John Allison
1870- Tidied OpenGL (opengl-V03-00-01) - see OpenGL/History.
1871
18722nd April 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-09)
1873- Fixed some warnings from DEC cxx.
1874
187515th March 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-08)
1876- Changed rotation of phi-replicas in G4PhysicalVolumeModel.cc to
1877  ensure correspondence with rule that phi=0 bisects the replica.
1878  WARNING: Prior to this fix the graphics did NOT correspond to the
1879  replica navigation.  If you have been relying on the graphics to
1880  position daughter volumes in a phi-replica, navigation will have
1881  been incorrect, possibly without causing a crash.  The above fix
1882  will change the apparent position as shown by the graphics and you
1883  will have to correct the positioning of daughters.  Make sure the
1884  diaghters are all properly enclosed within the replica.  Graphics
1885  and navigation now correspond,
1886
18877th March 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-07)
1888- Cosmetic corrections for ISO compliance.
1889
189023rd February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-06)
1891- Removed all references to RogueWave.
1892
18934th February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-05)
1894- Reverted to /vis/viewer commands updating vis manager's view parameters.
1895  Otherwise this can have a big effect on users if old commands are still
1896  being used.  Let's schedule this change for the next version of Geant4.
1897- Added the following new commands:
1898  /vis/enable [true|false]
1899  /vis/disable
1900  /vis/verbose [<verbosity-integer>]
1901  /vis/viewer/set/lineSegmentsPerCircle  [<number-of-sides-per-circle>]
1902  /vis/viewer/set/sectionPlane ...
1903  Only /vis/scene/add/text and /vis/scene/add/axes to go!!!
1904
19054th February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-04)
1906- /vis/viewer commands no longer update vis manager's view parameters.
1907- Most /vis~/ copmmands give DEPRECATED warning, except:
1908  /vis~/draw/axes
1909  /vis~/draw/text
1910  /vis~/set/section_plane
1911  /vis~/set/sides
1912  /vis~/set/verbose
1913  which have still to be re-implemented.  All /vis~/ commands are still
1914  available through /vis/ for the time being.  (Window size hint no longer
1915   works.)
1916- Added "auto refresh" to view parameters.
1917- Added "default" view parameters to viewers.
1918- Made OpenGL viewers "auto refresh" by default.
1919- Added:
1920  /vis/viewer/set/autoRefresh
1921  /vis/viewer/set/projection
1922- Added compound command:
1923  /vis/drawView [<theta-deg>] [<phi-deg>]
1924                [<pan-right>] [<pan-up>] [<pan-unit>]
1925                [<zoom-factor>]
1926                [<dolly>] [<dolly-unit>]
1927
19284th February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-03)
1929- Added several new vis commands:
1930  /vis/viewer/dolly
1931  /vis/viewer/dollyTo
1932  /vis/viewer/lightsThetaPhi
1933  /vis/viewer/lightsVector
1934  /vis/viewer/pan
1935  /vis/viewer/panTo
1936  /vis/viewer/viewpointThetaPhi
1937  /vis/viewer/viewpointVector
1938  /vis/viewer/zoom
1939  /vis/viewer/zoomTo
1940  /vis/viewer/set/hiddenMarker
1941  /vis/viewer/set/lightsMove
1942
19433rd February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-02)
1944- Tidied for CodeWizard.  Small changes to many files in management, modeling
1945  and OpenGL.
1946
19471st February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-01)
1948- Fixed cause of crash when setting viewpoint before creating scene (Bug #157).
1949  Solution: SetView no longer called when view parameters are changed.  In
1950  any case it's called just before drawing, whixh is the right place.
1951- Fixed /vis/set/sides problem (Satoshi Tanaka) (Bug #204).
1952  Solution: Update view's view parameters in /vis/set/sides - had somehow
1953  been overlooked.
1954
195525th January 2001  John Allison
1956- Added protection against empty G4Polyhedron objects.
1957   FukuiRenderer/src/G4FRSceneFunc.icc
1958   OPACS/src/G4GoSceneHandler.cc
1959   OpenGL/src/G4OpenGLSceneHandler.cc
1960   OpenInventor/src/G4OpenInventorSceneHandler.cc
1961   VRML/src/G4VRML1SceneHandlerFunc.icc
1962   VRML/src/G4VRML2SceneHandlerFunc.icc
1963
196425th January 2001  John Allison  (opengl-V03-00-00)
1965- Fixed Bug #120.  Implemented running re-calculation of up-vector in
1966  the case of "object rotation" (lights move with camera) to prevent
1967  "flipping" of view when camera passes through up-vector.  Note that
1968  the default is "camera rotation" (lights do not move with camera,
1969  i.e., remain fixed relative to object) so the default is that this
1970  "flipping" can happen.  To set "object rotation" (lights move with
1971  camera) use /vis/lights/move_with_camera true (soon to be
1972  /vis/viewer/set/lights move-with-camera) or click "Object" radio
1973  button on Rotation Panel in OpenGLXm mode.
1974- Changed some objects to references for efficiency.  E.g.:
1975  const G4Vector3D& vp = pView->fVP.GetViewpointDirection ().unit ();
1976
197718th January 2001  John Allison
1978- Corrected G4PhysicalVolumeModel.  This corrects a bug whereby the
1979  requested drawing of a physical volume and its decendants starting
1980  at a depth greater than 2 was incorrectly positioned on the screen.
1981- /vis/scene/include commands withdrawn - use equivalent commands
1982  /vis/scene/add.
1983- OpenGL: cosmetic and minor performance improvements.
1984
198516th January 2001  John Allison  (vis-03-00-00)
1986- All vis commands "available" in all G4 states.
1987- Other small cosmetic changes to commands.
1988- OpenGL: square and circle markers correctly rendered.
1989  Note: subsequent rotations in stored mode also rotate these markers.
1990- Some small changes to test  - see test/History.
1991

2412
2413vis-01-00-02  9th January 1999  John Allison
2414- Changed Scene to SceneHandler, View to Viewer.
2415
2416vis-01-00-01  6th January 1999  John Allison
2417- Made G4VisManager::GetInstance() private to prevent inadvertent misuse.
2418- Removed #include GNU_GCC - no longer necessary for egcs.
2419- Continued developing the new commands.
2420
2421vis-00-04-04  16th December 1998  John Allison
2422- test/GNUmakefile for Linux-g++
2423- test/test19.cc - removed g4templates.hh
2424- OpenGL - reverted to 100%.
2425
2426vis-00-04-03  9th December 1998  John Allison
2427- Made /vis/ commands from /vis~/.  The idea is to maintain backwards
2428  compatibility while allowing us to "deprecate" the old commands over
2429  a period of time.  Some of these /vis/ commands respond with "superceded",
2430  i.e., superceded by new commands, but still available in /vis~/.
2431- OpenGL viewing volume increased by 20% to prevent corners being clipped.
2432
2433- 08/12/98 : G.Barrand : OpenInventor : due to
2434  huge load problems on various platforms, init only
2435  the HEPVis things that are needed.
2436
2437vis-00-04-02  30th November 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2438- G4VRMLFILE_DEST_DIR for customising out file name - see VRML/History.
2439
244029th November 1998
2441- Added CPPFLAGS += -I....electromagnetic/utils/include to test/GNUmakefile.
2442- Added fName to G4SceneData.
2443
2444vis-00-04-01  25th November 1998  John Allison.
2445- G4Ray/GNUmakefile update for move of files in particles.
2446- Added const G4VisAttributes* fpDefaultVisAttributes and access
2447  functions to G4ModelingParameters.
2448- Reverted to default assignment operator and copy constructor for
2449  G4ModelingParameters and G4ViewParameters.
2450- G4PhysicalVolumeModel can now handle invisible daughters.
2451- More new /vis/ commands - depends on intercoms-00-04-01.
2452- G4VScene passes DefaultVisAttributes* to ModelingParameters.
2453
2454vis-00-03-07  23rd November 1998  John Allison.
2455- modeling/GNUmakefile update for move of files in particles (Hisaya).
2456- Removed semi-colon in G4BoundingSphereScene.cc.
2457
2458vis-00-03-06  9th November 1998  John Allison.
2459- Small change to a message in G4VisManager.
2460- VRML refinement - see VRML/History.
2461- Needs greps-00-03-03.
2462
2463vis-00-03-05b  9th November 1998  John Allison.
2464- Merged 6th November changes with vis-00-03-05a
2465- Bug fix in G4VisManager::IsValidView for batch running.
2466- Needs greps-00-03-03.
2467
2468vis-00-03-05a  9th November 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2469- VRML 2.0 Visualization driver is added to
2470  management/include/MyVisManager.cc.
2471
2472vis-00-03-05  9th November 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2473- VRML 2.0 Visualization driver is commited:
2474 (1) Generatin of VRML 2.0 format files to describe Geant4 simulation.
2475 (2) Interactive displaying of physiccal-volume names and copy numbers
2476 (3) Interactive displaying of hit positions (displayed strings are
2477     costomizable.
2478 (4) Wireframe drawing style of Geant4 visualization is reflected as
2479     transparency = 0.7.  This value is customizable.
2480     If transparency is 1.0, drawing of detector geometry is skipped,
2481     and hits can be picked easily.
2482
24836th November 1998  John Allison
2484- Implemented basic /vis/viewer commands.
2485- Added `const G4String& name' argument to G4VScene and G4VView constructors.
2486
2487vis-00-03-04  30th October 1998  John Allison
2488- Tagged.
2489
249029th October 1998  Guy Barrand
2491- G4OpenGLXView.hh, G4OpenGLXmView.cc, G4OpenGLXmWindowHandlingCallbacks.cc
2492  in order that things compile and compile without warnings on HP/aCC
2493
249414th October 1998  John Allison
2495- Augmented the new /vis/ commands.  Still not complete but they
2496  co-work with the old commands.
2497- Changed char* fName to G4String fName in G4VScene and G4VView.
2498  Consequent changes in G4OpenGLView.  Also OpenInventor?  Etc.
2499
250011th October 1998 Andy Walkden
2501- added (not a very good) version of hidden lines removal code. This code
2502  suffers from depth buffering artefacts. glPolygonOffset is a feature of
2503  OpenGL version 1.1, and can help overcome depth buffer problems. The code
2504  to utilise glPolygonOffset is committed, but commented out, as it doesn't
2505  seem to work with the version of Mesa available on rsplus currently. My
2506  ideal strategy is to enable depth testing, draw the model as lines, enable
2507  filled polygon offsetting (glPolygonOffset(1.0 /*offset scale factor*/,
2508  2/*offset bias*/); glEnable (GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_FILLED);) then draw the
2509  model as filled polygons. The offsetting should just add `2' (in window
2510  coordinates, I think) onto the z value of all vertices relating to filled
2511  polygons, thus dismissing the conflict between almost identical z values
2512  for lines and filled polygon edges.
2513
2514vis-00-03-03 9th October 1998  John Allison
2515- G4VisManager inherits G4VStateDependent.  This is used to draw
2516  end-of-event models.
2517
25184th October 1998 Andy Walkden
2519- Added ability for all G4OpenGLX derived graphics systems to produce
2520  vectored PostScript hardcopy. Facility for `automated screen dump'
2521  (i.e. pixmap output) still kept, as some rasterization features
2522  don't make it into the vectored PostScript output (such as haloing
2523  effects). Facility currently available via G4OpenGLXm by clicking
2524  `Miscellany' then `Create .eps file', to get a popup printing
2525  window.
2526
2527vis-00-03-02a  26th September 1998 
2528- DAWNFILE driver is made platform dependent.
2529  (It is now compilable both at both Unix and NT without necessity
2530   of C macros like WIN32.)
2531
2532vis-00-03-02  25th September 1998 
2533- DAWNFILE driver is ported to VC++
2534
2535vis-00-03-01  24th September 1998  John Allison
2536- Eliminated G4VPhysicalVolume* fpWorld data memebr from G4VisManager.
2537
253822th September 1998 Guy Barrand.
2539- Correct modeling, management, G4Ray /GNUmakefile to have
2540  correct digits+hits includes.
2541
254219th September 1998 Guy Barrand.
2543- Due to a correction in globals.h restore correct code
2544  so that OpenInventor files compile correctly on NT.
2545
2546vis-00-02-06  31st August 1998  John Allison
2547- Added G4VModel::Validate() and in subclasses.
2548- Reverted to default copy constructir and assignment operator in G4SceneData.

2551
2552vis-00-02-05  27th August 1998  John Allison
2553- Added G4HitsModel and G4TrajectoriesModel.
2554- Added /vis/scene/include/hits and trajectories, and some bug fixes.
2555
2556vis-00-02-04  22nd August 1998  John Allison
2557- Many changes in modeling - see modeling/History.
2558- New commands: /vis/scene/create, list, add/volume, add/ghosts.
2559
2560vis-00-02-03a  20th August 1998  John Allison
2561- Restored some code in G4SceneData.cc
2562- Fixed syntax bug in G4PhysicalVolumeSearchScene.hh
2563
2564vis-00-02-03  14th August 1998  John Allison
2565- Added G4VisManager::GeometryHasChanged() - run manager can notify change.
2566- Removed AddRun(Event)DurationModelToCurrentSceneData - no longer used.
2567- Some bug corrections in visualization/OpenGL (Guy Barrand - see
2568  vis blackboard for details).
2569- Some protection added in visualization/OPACS (do.)
2570- Created visualization/test/OPACS (do.)
2571
257212th August 1998  John Allison
2573- More new commands - not fully functional yet.
2574
257511th August 1998  Guy Barrand
2576- G4OpenInventor : remove uneccesary includes.
2577
2578vis-00-02-02b  11th August  Satoshi Tanaka
2579- AddPrimitive() for polymarker are implemented in DAWN and VRML drivers.
2580
2581vis-00-02-02a  9th August  John Allison
2582- Small bug fix in G4VisCommandsScene.cc.
2583
2584vis-00-02-02  9th August  John Allison
2585- Changed '.' to '-' in scene/view names.
2586- Began introduction of new /vis/ commands.
2587- Consequent changes to test - see test/History.
2588
25897th August  Guy Barrand.
2590- OPACS : use G4VView name to build widget names.
2591- OPACS : use new interactor parenting logic.
2592- OpenGL, OpenInventor, G4Ray : clean compilation warnings for OSF1/cxx, HP/aCC.
2593
25947th August  John Allison/Satoshi Tanaka/Guy Barrand.
2595- Added G4<driver>Scene::AddPrimitive (const G4Polymarker&) to keep
2596  compilers happy.
2597
2598vis-00-02-01  6th August  John Allison
2599- Created G4VisManagerRegisterMessengers.cc.
2600- Bug fix in G4VisManager: now follows change of world volume after
2601  /vis~/clear/scene.
2602- OpenInventor: Correct some upper -> lower case mess (Guy Barrand)
2603- G4RayView: syntax bug fixes.
2604
26054th August 1998 Andy Walkden
2606I made some changes to OpenGL code...
2607The changes are (i) to tidy up some redundant hidden line
2608removal function calls, (ii) to put some hidden line removal
2609code in G4OpenGLScene::AddPrimitive(G4Polyhedron) and
2610(iii) to add an option to generate an encapsulated postscript
2611file of the current view in OpenGLXm. There is now a button
2612in the Miscellany pulldown of the main menubar to bring up
2613a shell in which you can specify a filename, colour or black
2614and white and request the creation of a .eps file. The
2615code is to be found in G4OpenGLXView, and so is not bound
2616to the Xm user. Also it needs fixing for some Mesa
2617implementations, and the HP CDE environment manages to stuff
2618things up when rendering to a pixmap (although CDE makes a
2619mess of most other things as well, so this isn't
2620disastrous).
2621
2622
2623vis-00-01-08  21th July 1998  John Allison
2624- Removed automatic refresh from /vis/camera/reset in G4VisCommandsCamera.cc.
2625
2626vis-00-01-07b  21th July 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2627- Revised G4FRSCENE::SendBoundingBox() so that
2628  zooming polycy of  DAWN drivers becomes consistent with
2629  OpenGL drivers
2630
2631vis-00-01-07  20th July 1998  John Allison
2632- Corrected bug in G4VisManager::IsViewValid to trap drawing commands
2633  before geometry is available.
2634
2635vis-00-01-06  19th July 1998  John Allison
2636- Default culling: culling - on, culling of invisible objects - on.
2637- set/drawing_style does *not* change culling flags.
2638- Minor bug fixes.
2639
2640vis-00-01-05  15th July 1998  John Allison

2655
2656vis-00-01-01  4th July 1998  John Allison
2657- Moved G4VIS_BUILD.gmk and G4VIS_USE.gmk to geant4beta/config.

2661- Small changes to test - see test/History.
2662- Tidied.
2663- Removed GNUmakefile.G4VIS_USE and make_list.sh.
2664
266530th June 1998 - Paulo & Marc
2666- added the G4FlavoredParallelWorldModel.hh file to
2667  visualization/modeling/include;
2668- added the /vis~/draw/Ghosts [particle name] command
2669  in the G4VisManMessDraw.cc file;
2670- added
2671  CPPFLAGS += -I$(G4BASE)/geometry/magneticfield/include and
2672  CPPFLAGS += -I$(G4BASE)/processes/parameterisation/include
2673  lines to GNUmakefile to compile G4VisManMessDraw.cc.

2678
2679vis-00-06-09  26th June 1998  John Allison
2680- OPACS and Open Inventor - something about widget parents (GB)
2681- Removed /new_vis/ commands.
2682
2683vis-00-06-08a  26th June 1998 Satoshi Tanaka
2684- Updated G4VIS_USE.gmk
2685- (1) Macro -DG4VIS_USE_DAWNFILE is made properly set
2686- (2) G4VIS_USE_DAWN_ is renamed to G4VIS_USE_DAWN_OR_DAWNFILE
2687- (3) G4VIS_USE_VRML_ is renamed to G4VIS_USE_VRML_OR_VRMLFILE
2688
2689vis-00-06-08  22nd June 1998  John Allison
2690- Changed G4BASE = ../.. to G4BASE = $(shell (cd ../..; pwd))
2691- Changed GNUmakefile.G4VIS_BUILD to G4VIS_BUILD.gmk
2692
2693vis-00-06-07  19th June 1998  John Allison
2694- Defined G4_SOLVE_VIS_TEMPLATES in G4VIS_USE.gmk.  Needs
2695  the head version of GNUmakefile.architecture.
2696- Consequential changes (improvements) to template handling in test19.cc
2697- Some minor improvements in modeling.
2698
2699vis-00-06-06  11th June 1998  John Allison
2700- Fixes to test_utils - see test/History.
2701- Improvements in modeling - see modeling/History.
2702
2703vis-00-06-05  11th June 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2704- In G4VisManMessDraw.cc and G4VisManMessSet.cc , ...
2705  //    G4double unit = G4UIcommand::valueOf (unitString);
2706        G4double unit = G4UnitDefinition::GetValueOf (unitString);
2707
2708vis-00-06-04  10th June 1998  John Allison
2709- Created G4VIS_USE.gmk to replace GNUmakefile.G4VIS_USE.
2710- Changed test/GNUmakefile to use G4VIS_USE.gmk.
2711- Separate libraries are now default in GNUmakefile.
2712- Committed an interim version of README.
2713- Moved G4BoundingSphereScene from management to modeling.
2714- First attempt at defining the "scene" as lists of models.
2715- Removed some unnecessary checks in G4VisManMess*.
2716
2717vis-00-06-03  27th May   1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2718- DAWNFILE driver is added. It is to generate g4.prim file
2719  under the current directory.  And make DAWN or DAVID invoke
2720  using the g4.prim file as an input. For details, see the blackboard
2721  document.
2722
272321st May 1998 Andy Walkden
2724- Added hidden line removal code to G4OpenGLView. HLR utilises OpenGL's
2725  stencil buffer, but still the drawn lines are a little fragmented
2726  (an effect seen often when depth buffering is used to resolve pixel
2727  rendering disputes).
2728- HLR requires wireframe rendering, filled polygon rendering and then wireframe
2729  rendering again. Hence, three visits to the kernel help to slow HLR
2730  rendering right down.
2731
2732vis-00-06-02  20th May   1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2733- Added G4VisFeaturesOfDAWNFILE.hh, cc
2734- Revised visualization/GNUmakefile, GNUmakefile.G4VIS_BUILD,
2735  GNUmakefile.G4VIS_USE
2736- These are for DAWNFILE driver in preparation, which enables to
2737  invoke DAVID directly from Geant4.
2738
2739vis-00-06-01a 20th May   1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2740- code refinement of FukuiRenderer driver
2741
2742vis-00-06-01  29th April 1998  John Allison
2743- Introduced non-pure virtual functions
2744  Establish/DecommissionSpecials (G4PhysicalVolumeModel&) in
2745  G4VGraphicsScene with implementation of the former in G4VScene.
2746  Modified G4PhysicalVolumeModel to use it; also protected
2747  G4PhysicalVolumeModel against non-implementation of
2748  Establish/DecommissionSpecials.
2749- Template instantiations in G4RayView made exclusive to GNU_GCC
2750- Some minor changes under test - see test/History.
2751
275227th April 1998 Andy Walkden
2753- altered OpenGLView's structure a little. Now, G4OpenGLXmView is a
2754  type of (inherits from) G4OpenGLXView.
2755- made code for haloing effects common to all OpenGL views.
2756- changed XUnmapWindow in G4OpenGLXView::~G4OpenGLXView to XDestroyWindow
2757  (idea of Guy's)
2758
275927th April 1998 Guy Barrand
2760- vis/OPACS : remove Begin/EndModeling in G4GoScene.
2761
2762vis-00-05-06  23rd April 1998  John Allison
2763- Changed test19.mac to test19.g4m and consequent change in test19.cc.
2764- Fixed order of linking vis-a-vis -lG4track and -lG4tracking (GB).
2765- Fixed inadvertent bug in test_utils/src/MyPhysicsList.cc.
2766- Bug fix in G4OpenGLXmConvenienceRoutines.cc (GB).
2767
2768vis-00-05-05  21st April 1998  John Allison
2769- Added run-time command line argument: test19 [<session-type>] [<verbosity>]
2770- Removed #if GNU_GCC from template instantiation requests in test19.cc.
2771- Added fDefaultTextVisAttributes to G4ViewParameters.
2772- Added G4VScene::GetTextColour (changed G4FukuiRendererScene, G4GoScene and
2773  G4OpenInventorScene.
2774- Changed default view parameters: culling on and invisible object culling on.
2775- Tidied CreateScene/View.
2776- Continued BaBar development.
2777
277815th April 1998  John Allison
2779- Added test/EucIntfce/, test/Bogus/ and test/babar_utils/ for BaBar test code.
2780  Also a new main() in BaBarCallListTest.cc.  Also a data file call_list.dat.
2781  See babar_utils/README.
2782- Camera commands, except spin and orbit, no longer initiate draw.
2783- Text is blue for time being (visible on black or white background.)
2784
278515th April 1998 : Guy Barrand
2786- From discussion with John and Simone G4VToolkit
2787  has been renamed to G4VInteractorManager.
2788
2789vis-00-05-04a  11th April 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2790- Code improvements in DAWN driver
2791- (1) View parameters are sent to DAWN only at drawing times.
2792- (2) Way of getting marker size are made simpler by using
2793-     G4VScene::GetMarkerRadius ()  etc.
2794
2795vis-00-05-04  8th April 1998  John Allison
2796- Small bug fix - then tag for Easter.
2797
2798HEAD  6th April 1998  John Allison
2799- Added error printing to G4OpenGLScene::AddPrimitive (const G4Text& text).
2800- Added /vis~/draw/text.
2801- Added units to /vis~/draw/axes.
2802- Began the job of restructuring vis commands; so there is a new class
2803  G4VisCommandsCameraMessengers for starters!
2804
2805HEAD  4th April 1998  John Allison
2806- Removed automatic drawing after /vis~/set commands.  Now an explicit
2807  redraw is necessary, but it allows you to change parameters during
2808  building a view.  For example to superimpose projected hits on a
2809  section:
2810    /vis~/clear/view
2811    /vis~/set/section_plane on 0 0 20 cm 0 0 1
2812    /vis~/draw/current
2813    /vis~/set/section_plane off
2814    /run/beamOn
2815- Fixed small bug in OpenGL for section drawing.
2816- Made some small improvements in G4ViewParameters.
2817
2818vis-00-05-03  4th April 1998  John Allison
2819- Re-engineered maintenance of current depth, etc.  Needed new method
2820  G4VGraphicsScene::BeginModeling (G4PhysicalVolumeModel&) in
2821  graphics_reps.  The result is much cleaner model and modeling
2822  parameters classes.  Also, the current depth, physical volume and
2823  logical volume are immediately available as protected pointers in
2824  G4VScene.
2825- Required G4VScene::Begin/EndModeling to be invoked from subclass.
2826- Introduced G4NullModel to hold modeling parameters.  This avoids
2827  having to create a G4VModel for each graphics primitive.
2828
2829HEAD  3rd April 1998  John Allison

2985- New way of instantiating graphics systems:
2986  Set the appropriate environment variables and include and
2987  compile G4VisRegisterGraphicsSystems.icc in your main():
2988    ...
2989    #include G4VisRegisterGraphicsSystems.icc
2990    ...
2991    main() {
