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

79812th October 2005  John Allison (vis-V07-01-03)
799- G4VisCommandsViewer.cc: Trapped zero viewer pointer in /vis/viewer/update
800  (bug found by system test of vis-V07-01-02).
801
8022nd Oct 2005  Joseph Perl (vis-V07-01-02)

818New tag to include change Makoto made an hour after V07-01-02 was tagged.
819Change seems to just involve passing pWorld to material list where no argument was passed in previous version.
820

900
90112th May 2005  John Allison
902- Moved zlib to externals/zlib.
903
9046th May 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-14)
905- OpenGL: fixed bug (views not refreshed - opengl-V07-00-02).
906- Improved ASSCIITree guidance.
907- G4VisExecutive: Replaced printing of available graphics systems.
908  Now corresponds to behaviour of most old examples vis managers.
909- Fixed some pedantic warnings from gcc 4.
910- G4PhysicalVolumeModel: SetCopyNo of replicas and paramaterised
911  volumes (modeling-V07-00-00).

915
91622nd April 2005  John Allison
917- OpenGL: Implemented text for X-Windows viewers (opengl-V07-00-00/1).
918
91910th April 2005  John Allison  (visman-V07-00-00)
920- G4VisCommandsSceneAdd.cc: 2nd attempt to fix access to fpVisManager
921  from nested class for SUN.
922
92316th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-13)
924- G4VisCommandsSceneAdd.cc: fixed access to fpVisManager from nested class.
925- For gcc 2.95.2: Fixed G4String return for viewer commands.
926- Added constructor and virtual destructor to G4VUserVisAction.
927
92815th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-12)
929- Added return type G4int to G4ViewParameters::SetNoOfSides and
930  G4ModelingParameters::SetNoOfSides.  They return no. of sides, i.e.,
931  sides per circle in polyhedron contruction, that are actually set;
932  there is a lower limit of 12.
933- G4PhysicalVolumeModel: bug fix: no. of rotation steps correctly applied.
934
93510th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-11)
936- Reviewed all vis commands.  Improved guidance, simplified and
937  rationalised the commands.
938
9399th March 2005  John Allison
940- Removed "remove" and "edit" commands.
941- G4VisManager: removed "Delete" methods. (Removing or deleting an
942  existing scene, scene handler or viewer is very messy and not
943  necessary.  When a user creates a new one, he/she may leave the old
944  one around without harm.  It may be left unused or selected again later
945  if the user wants.)
946- Removed automatic parameter candidate specification for commands
947  that take an argument that is a scene, scene handler or viewer
948  name - it is checked in SetNewValue methods.  (The code was just
949  too complicated and, anyway, the result hindered, rather than
950  helped the user, because it restricted the parameter values and
951  mis-typing gave obscure messages.  Now the messages are clearer and,
952  as the guidance points out, the list of possible names can be
953  obtained with a "list" command.)
954- Made "list" commands flag current items.
955- Improved guidance for /vis/scene commands.  Still to do (groan!):
956    /vis/scene/add
957    /vis/sceneHandler
958    /vis/viewer
959
9609th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-10, needs greps-V07-00-01)
961- Refined logo and scale.
962- Improved physical volume clipping.
963- G4VisManager: Added default G4Transform3D::Identity to
964  objectTransformation argument in Draw methods.
965
9664th March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-09)
967- Added first implementation of cutaway - a clipping box for physical
968  volume tree:
969    vis/scene/add/volume ! ! ! box km 0 1 0 1 0 1
970  (Does not seem properly to clip volumes wholly inside clipping volume.)
971
9723rd March 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-08)
973- Introduced /vis/scene/add/logo.
974- Added Set methods to G4VModel.
975- Added argument to G4CallbackModel::operator()(const G4Transform3D&) so that
976  the model could implement a given transformation.  Provided default for
977  G4VUserVisAction::(const G4Transform3D& = G4Transform3D::Identity).
978- Improved guidance for:
979    compound commands
980    ASCIITree commands
981- Used std::istrstream::istrstream(std::string) throughout.
982
98323rd February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-07)
984- Protected scene handlers for the case of the drawing of solids NOT
985  from a physical volume tree:
986    G4FRSceneFunc.icc
987    G4OpenGLSceneHandler.cc
988    G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler.cc
989    G4ASCIITreeSceneHandler.cc
990    G4GAGTreeSceneHandler.cc
991- Fixed a problem with ClearTransientStore.  ClearTransientStore
992  should restrict itself to its job.  In the following files,
993  ClearTransientStore also redraws the view.  In other places, a draw
994  command often follows, so it is not needed here.  In fact it can
995  cause a double recursive descent into DrawView, so the existing code
996  has been commented out (JA - 23/Jan/05):
997    G4FRSceneFunc.icc
998    G4HepRepFileSceneHandler.cc
999    G4OpenGLImmediateSceneHandler.cc
1000    G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler.cc
1001    G4VRML1SceneHandlerFunc.icc
1002    G4VRML2SceneHandlerFunc.icc
1003    G4XXXSceneHandler.cc
1004- Removed (commented out) some code that forced extra kernel visits,
1005  purportedly to overcome a problem in OpenGLStored methods.  Let's
1006  fix OpenGL if necessary:
1007    G4VSceneHandler.cc
1008    G4VViewer.cc
1009- Commented out SetView and ClearView in /vis/viewer/refresh:
1010    G4VisCommandsViewer.cc
1011- Changed signature of G4VViewer::SetNeedKernelVisit(G4bool) for compatibility.
1012
101319th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-06 with greps-V07-00-00)
1014- Added G4VUserVisAction and G4CallbackModel.
1015- Implemented /vis/scene/add/userAction.
1016- Fixed bug in /vis/viewer/update (check existence of scene handler and scene).
1017
101815th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-05)
1019- Introduced drawing of readout geometry for logical volumes.
1020- For drawing of logical volumes, introduced boolean flags to control
1021  drawing of:
1022    o boolean components (if any)
1023    o voxels (if any) (note: voxels are not created until start of run)
1024    o readout geometry (if any)
1025- Augmented commands /vis/specify and /vis/scene/add/logicalVolume to use
1026  above flags.
1027- G4ASCIITree: Added printing of names of sensitive detector (if any) and
1028  readout geometry (if any).
1029
103015th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-04)
1031- Updated READMEs for G4VisExecutive.  Removed references to OPACS.
1032
10339th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-03)
1034- Migration from AddThis to AddSolid and AddCompound: fixed previously
1035  missed FukuiRendererSceneHander.
1036
10374th February 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-02)
1038- Introduced G4VisExecutive.  MyVisManager deprecated.
1039
104027th January 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-01, needs intercoms-V07-00-00)
1041- Migration from AddThis to AddSolid and AddCompound.
1042- AddSolid: Methods for adding solids to the scene handler.  They
1043  must always be called in the triplet PreAddSolid, AddSolid and
1044  PostAddSolid.  The transformation and visualization attributes
1045  must be set by the call to PreAddSolid.  A possible default
1046  implementation is to request the solid to provide a G4Polyhedron
1047  or similar primitive - see, for example, G4VSceneHandler.
1048- AddCompound: Methods for adding "compound" GEANT4 objects to the scene
1049  handler.  These methods may either (a) invoke "user code" that
1050  uses the "user interface", G4VVisManager (see, for example,
1051  G4VSceneHandler in the Visualization Category, which for
1052  trajectories uses G4VTrajectory::DrawTrajectory, via
1053  G4TrajectoriesModel in the Modeling Category) or (b) invoke
1054  AddPrimitives below (between calls to Begin/EndPrimitives) or (c)
1055  use graphics-system-specific code or (d) any combination of the
1056  above.
1057
105826th January 2005  John Allison  (vis-V07-00-00)
1059- G4VisManager:: removed optional argument
1060  const G4Transform3D& objectTransformation = G4Transform3D::Identity
1061  from Draw methods for a hit and trajectory.
1062- Trapped illegal nesting of Begin/EndPrimitives.
1063- Added fpCurrentMaterial to G4VSceneHandler and relevant derived
1064  classes and models for work with G4PhysicalVolumeModel via
1065  EstablishSpecials.  So now, the material is also available (in addition
1066  to current depth, logical and physical volum) during drawing of geometry
1067  items.
1068- Changed ASCIITree to use G4VSolid::GetCubicVolume and
1069  G4LogicalVolume::GetMass.
1070- Changed G4PhysicalVolumeMassScene to use G4VSolid::GetCubicVolume.
1071- Improved guidance for /vis/viewer/set/hiddenMarker.
1072- G4VisCommandsViewerSet: made Up and Viewpoint vectors unit for safety.
1073- Some additions to test area.
1074
107510th December 2004 Gabriele Cosmo (vis-V06-02-09)
1076- Replaced M_PI with CLHEP's pi.
1077
10787th December 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-02-08)
1079- Tagged right after migration to cmath
1080- All occurences of include <math.h> have now become include <cmath>.
1081- All math functions are now prefaced with std::
1082
10837th December 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-02-07)
1084- Tagged right before migration to cmath
1085
108626th November 2004 Joseph Perl (vis-V06-02-06)
1087- Tagged for release 7.0.
1088- Made from vis-V06-02-05
1089- plus opengl-V06-02-07 by John Allison
1090- plus vis-HepRep-V06-02-02 by Mark Donszelmann
1091- plus openinventor-V07-00-00 by Guy Barrand
1092
109318th November 2004  John Allison
1094- Included opengl-V06-02-07.
1095
109611th November 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-05)
1097- Made use of smart method GetPolyhedron for solids.  This greatly
1098  speeds 2nd and subsequent drawings when kernel access is required.
1099- Rationalised use of EstablishSpecials: functionality moved to base class.
1100- Removed use of obsolete G4Polymarker::line.
1101
110222nd September 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-04)
1103- Moved Doxyfile to management.  doxygen output to tmp area.
1104- modeling-V06-02-01 - small fixes.
1105- vistree-V06-02-01 - small fixes.
1106- opengl-V06-02-06 - Trap non-regular polyhedra and other small changes.
1107- DAWN-V06-02-00 - Improve diagnostic on trapping non-regular polyhedra.
1108- vistest-V06-02-02: refined rotated tube test.
1109
111013th September 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-03)
1111- vistree-V06-02-00: Improved ASCIITree:
1112  verbosity >= 3: prints volume, density of all volumes in hierarchy.
1113  verbosity >= 4: calculates the mass of the complete geometry tree taking
1114    into account daughters up to the depth specified for each physical
1115    volume in the current scene.  Culling is ignored so that all volumes
1116    are processed.  The calculation is quite tricky, since it involves
1117    subtracting the mass of that part of the mother that is occupied by
1118    each daughter and then adding the mass of the daughter, and so on
1119    down the heirarchy.  Uses G4PhysicalVolumeMassScene - see below.
1120  Added option to write to file (/vis/ASCIITree/set/outFile).
1121- modeling-V06-02-00: Added G4PhysicalVolumeMassScene and improvements
1122  to G4PhysicalVolumeModel.  See modeling/History for more details.
1123- Removed obsolete file: G4VisToOldVisCommands.hh
1124- Corrected mistake in /vis/viewer/set/*Vector commands.
1125- Augmented ParameterisedBox and rotated a tracker tube in test directory.
1126- Brought README.built_in_commands up to date for Geant4 6.2.  Removed all
1127  references to old commands.'
1128
11293rd August 2004  John Allison
1130- Rationalised vis command code (uses G4UIcommand static conversion
1131  functions where possible).
1132- Removed G4ViewParameters::DrawingStyle GetDrawingStyle (const
1133  G4Visible&).  Instead, developer has to:
1134    // Get vis attributes - pick up defaults if none.
1135    const G4VisAttributes* pVA =
1136      fpViewer -> GetApplicableVisAttributes (v.GetVisAttributes ());
1137  where v is the visible object (polyline, circle, polyhedron, etc.), and:
1138    // Get view parameters that the user can force through the vis
1139    // attributes, thereby over-riding the current view parameter.
1140    G4ViewParameters::DrawingStyle drawing_style = GetDrawingStyle (pVA);
1141    G4bool isAuxEdgeVisible = GetAuxEdgeVisible (pVA);
1142  Most developers do this anyway, so the removed routine was redundant
1143  and resulting code is more efficient and transparent.  To get
1144  colour, the developer can pick up directly from the vis attrributes,
1145  pVA, obtained as above:
1146    const G4Colour& c = pVA -> GetColour ();
1147  or use a slightly less efficient method:
1148    const G4Colour& c = GetColour (v);
1149  where v is the visible object.
1150  Note that for text, the developer must use a different procedure,
1151  since the default text colour is determined by the default text vis
1152  attributes, which may be specified independent of default vis
1153  attributes of other types of visible objects.  A function,
1154  GetTextColour, is provided and the recommended use is:
1155    const G4Colour& c = GetTextColour (text);  // Picks up default if none.
1156- Rationalised use of vis attributes in OpenGL and XXX.
1157
115828th July 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-02 with greps-V06-02-00)
1159- Implemented force auxiliary edge visible feature of G4VisAttributes.
1160- Included openinventor-V06-02-00 (minor revision - Guy Barrand).
1161
116223rd July 2004  John Allison
1163- Added auxiliary edge visible flag to G4ViewParameters and a new
1164  command, /vis/viewer/set/auxiliaryEdge.  (Auxiliary edges are not
1165  genuine edges of the volume.  They may be in a curved surface made
1166  out of polygons, for example, or in plane surface of complicated
1167  shape that has to be broken down into simpler polygons.
1168  HepPolyhedron breaks all surfaces into triangles or quadrilaterals.
1169  There will be auxiliary edges for any volumes with a curved surface,
1170  such as a tube or a sphere, or a volume resulting from a Boolean
1171  operation.  Normally, they are not shown, but sometimes it is useful
1172  to see them.  In particular, a sphere, because it has no egdes, will
1173  not be seen in wireframe mode in some graphics systems unless this
1174  flag is turned on.)
1175
117616th July 2004  John Allison
1177- Refined forced wireframe algorithm - *always* force wireframe even
1178  if hidden line removal is specified.
1179- opengl-V06-02-04.
1180
118115th July 2004  John Allison
1182- Small improvement to G4XXX (sample graphics system).
1183
118414th July 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-02-01)
1185- Removed deprecated commands:
1186    /vis/viewer/show               (use /vis/viewer/update)
1187    /vis/viewer/lightsThetaPhi     (use /vis/viewer/set/lightsThetaPhi)

1583- Improved /vis/scene/add/scale guidance (needs greps-V03-02-04).
1584- Removed /vis/viewer/refresh from compound commands.
1585- Capitalised 'R' in /vis/viewer/set/autoRefresh.
1586
158729th August 2001  John Allison/Joseph Perl  (vis-V03-02-14)
1588- Needs config-V03-02-06.
1589- First developers release of HepRep graphics driver.
1590
159124th August 2001  Joseph Perl  (vis-V03-02-13-00)
1592- First inclusion of HepRep graphics driver.
1593
159424th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-13)
1595- Fixed bugs in G4VisManager::GeometryHasChanged.
1596- Separated out G4Scene::CalculateExtent.
1597- Improved robustness and timeliness of invocation of some commands.
1598- Improved READMEs.
1599- Reduced warnings from OpenGL - see OpenGL/History.
1600- Cosmetic changes to test.
1601- Added explicit invocation of base class methods to avoid warnings about
1602  hiding of base class methods.
1603
160417th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-12)
1605- Coworks with greps-V03-02-02 and intercoms-V03-02-04.
1606- Added G4VisManager::Draw(const G4Scale&,...  Needs intercoms-V03-02-04.
1607- Added template graphics system XXX.
1608- Improved verbosity guidance.
1609
161014th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-11)
1611- Coworks with greps-V03-02-02 and intercoms-V03-02-03.
1612- Moved default value G4Transform3D::Identity of argument from
1613  G4VSceneHandler::BeginPrimitives to
1614  G4VGraphicsScene::BeginPrimitives.  Needs intercoms-V03-02-03.
1615- Fixed bug in G4VSceneHandler::AddPrimitive(const G4Scale&).  Needs
1616  greps-V03-02-02.
1617- Added sceneHandler.Begin/EndPrimitives messages to models (long
1618  standing bug!).
1619- Removed "dummy" graphics systems in G4VisManager.cc.
1620- Improved robustness of some commands, particularly
1621  /vis/scene/notifyHandlers.
1622- Improved support for multiple viewers (but see OpenGL/History).
1623
162411th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-10-01)
1625- Implemented /vis/scene/endOfEventAction.
1626
16279th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-10-00)
1628- Note: non-standard tag to indicate internal use only.
1629- Added /vis/scene/create at start of compound command /vis/open to avoid
1630  warnings.
1631- Removed G4ModelingParameters::hierarchy.  It is no longer used.  The
1632  textual or graphical representation of the geometry hierarchy is now
1633  done in G4xxxTree classes in visua;ization/Tree.
1634- Removed /vis/scene/notifyHandlers from
1635  G4VVisCommandScene::UpdateVisManagerScene - too much updating going on.
1636  It was leading to recursive refreshing/updating.
1637- Implemented auto-refresh at end of event.  (See also OpenGL/History.)
1638  Introduced G4VSceneHandler::Get/SetMarkForClearingTransientStore for
1639  postponed (lazy) clearing of transients (e.g., trajectories) from store
1640  (graphical database) and view.  The mark is set at the end of
1641  G4VisManager::EndOfEvent and the actual clearing is done in:
1642    void G4VisManager::ClearTransientStoreIfMarked(){
1643      // Assumes valid view.
1644      if (fpSceneHandler->GetMarkForClearingTransientStore()) {
1645        fpSceneHandler->SetMarkForClearingTransientStore(false);
1646        fpSceneHandler->ClearTransientStore();
1647      }
1648    }
1649  which is called at the start of each G4VisManager::Draw and the beginning
1650  of G4VisManager::EndOfEvent.  Thus the picture stays from the end of all
1651  drawing for the event until the first drawing of the next event.
1652   
16535th August 2001  John Allison
1654- Small refinements to printing under new verbosity control.
1655
16564th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-10)
1657- Re-implemented verbosity control.  Output statements wherever possible
1658  are controlled by the verbosity in a simple graded message scheme:
1659    enum Verbosity {
1660      quiet,         // Nothing is printed.
1661      startup,       // Startup and endup messages are printed...
1662      errors,        // ...and errors...
1663      warnings,      // ...and warnings...
1664      confirmations, // ...and confirming messages...
1665      parameters,    // ...and parameters of scenes and views...
1666      all            // ...and everything available.
1667    };
1668  Note that the G4VisManager member object name and type have changed:
1669    Verbosity             fVerbosity;  // New.
1670    const G4int           fVerbose;
1671    // fVerbose is kept for backwards compatibility for some user
1672    // examples.  (It is used in the derived user vis managers to print
1673    // available graphics systems.)  It is initialised to 1 in the
1674    // constructor and cannot be changed.
1675
16763rd August 2001  John Allison
1677- Added README.quick, a quick installation guide.
1678
167930th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-09)
1680- Eliminated view parameters from G4VisManager.  Now, each view maintains its
1681  own parameters.  Can be copied from one view to another with:
1682    /vis/viewer/set/all <from-viewer-name>
1683    Copies view parameters from from-viewer to current viewer.
1684    Affects current viewer.
1685- Removed redundant methods from G4VisManager, mostly to do with old-style
1686  commands.
1687
168827th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-08)
1689- Needs config-V03-02-01.
1690- Introduced environment variable G4VIS_NONE that, if set, no visualization
1691  drivers are built and no vis libraries are built, not even
1692  libG4vis_management.  (libG4modeling is still built.)  The C-pre-processor
1693  variables G4VIS_BUILD and G4VIS_USE are *not* set.
1694- Removed the need to specify environment variables for visualization drivers
1695  which do not need external packages or libraries, namely :
1696      G4VIS_BUILD_DAWNFILE_DRIVER
1697      G4VIS_BUILD_RAYTRACER_DRIVER
1698      G4VIS_BUILD_VRMLFILE_DRIVER
1699      G4VIS_BUILD_ASCIITREE_DRIVER
1700      G4VIS_BUILD_GAGTREE_DRIVER
1701    with associated G4VIS_USE environment variables:
1702      G4VIS_USE_DAWNFILE
1703      G4VIS_USE_RAYTRACER
1704      G4VIS_USE_VRMLFILE
1705      G4VIS_USE_ASCIITREE
1706      G4VIS_USE_GAGTREE
1707  For backwards compatibility, unless G4VIS_NONE is set, the corresponding
1708  C-pre-processor variables are automatically set.  Also, the C-pre-processor
1709  variables G4VIS_BUILD and G4VIS_USE are set.
1710- As before, environment variables for other drivers still need positive
1711  setting of their G4VIS_BUILD and G4VIS_USE environment variables.  In this
1712  category are:
1713      G4VIS_BUILD_DAWN_DRIVER
1714      G4VIS_BUILD_OPACS_DRIVER
1715      G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLX_DRIVER
1716      G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLWIN32_DRIVER
1717      G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLXM_DRIVER
1718      G4VIS_BUILD_OIX_DRIVER
1719      G4VIS_BUILD_OIWIN32_DRIVER
1720      G4VIS_BUILD_VRML_DRIVER
1721    with associated G4VIS_USE environment variables:
1722      G4VIS_USE_DAWN
1723      G4VIS_USE_OPACS
1724      G4VIS_USE_OPENGLX
1725      G4VIS_USE_OPENGLWIN32
1726      G4VIS_USE_OPENGLXM
1727      G4VIS_USE_OIX
1728      G4VIS_USE_OIWIN32
1729      G4VIS_USE_VRML
1730  In this case G4VIS_NONE must *not* be set.
1731- Fixed unchecked pointer in G4VSceneHandler::ClearStore().
1732
173325th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-07)
1734- Improved access to models (modeling-V03-02-03).
1735- Made G4VSceneHandler::fpModel non-const G4VModel* for convenience.
1736- Improved checks and warning messages in /vis/scene/add/scale.
1737
173824th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-06)
1739- Needs greps-V03-02-01 for small interface change to G4Scale.
1740- Includes modeling-V03-02-02.
1741- Force rebuild of graphics "stores" (graphical databases) and, if
1742  auto-refresh is true, refresh of all views
1743  (/vis/scene/notifyHandlers) after an addition to scene.
1744- Improvements to /vis/scene/add/scale:
1745  o Added colour.
1746  o Assigned a genuine extent.
1747
174823rd July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-05 is non existent - sorry!!!)
1749- Improved /vis/scene/add/scale.
1750- Improved auto-refreshing.
1751
175221st July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-04)
1753- Added /vis/scene/add/scale.  Needs greps-V03-02-00 and intercoms-V03-02-02.
1754
175519th July 2001  Satoshi Tanaka  (vis-V03-02-03)
1756- Modification of G4DAWNFILEViewer.cc
1757- PostScript command "showpage" is always added to g4_XX.eps
1758  so that it is printable. (It can also be inserted into
1759  LaTeX documents.
1760
176118th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-02)
1762- Ensured rotation and translation of replica is restored (modeling-V03-02-00)
1763  (fixes crashes in replica tracking).
1764
176514th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-01)
1766- Included raytracer-V03-02-00 (minor cosmetics).
1767- Minor changes in G4OpenGLXViewer.cc to eliminate pedantic ISO C++ warnings.
1768- Merged vis-V03-02-patch01 (below) to head.
1769- Included new disclaimer.
1770
177114th July 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-02-patch01 in branch geant4-03-02-branch)
1772- Fixed crash in optimised mode: added Initialise() to viewers so
1773  that windows are opened after viewers are fully constructed.
1774
177510th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-00)
1776- Removed old-style commands.
1777- Removed maintenance of G4VisManager's G4ViewParameters object (this
1778  will be removed soon).
1779- Merged vis-V03-02-patch00 (below) to head.
1780
178110th July  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-patch00 in branch geant4-03-02-branch)
1782- Corrected mistake which could cause crash if user specified a non-
1783  existent scene handler in /vis/sceneHandler/remove.
1784
178519th June 2001  Satoshi Tanaka (vis-V03-01-07)
1786-OS dependence is removed from the DAWN-network driver.
1787 * gethostname() removed
1788 * G4SocketConfig.hh and G4SocketMacro.hh are removed.
1789- Now "setenv G4DAWN_HOST_NAME hostname" is mandatory to use
1790  the DAWN-network driver.
1791
179215th June 2001  John Allison
1793- Added GAGTree to G4VisManager.cc, MyVisManager.cc.  Need corresponding
1794  changes in config.
1795
179615th June 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-01-06)
1797- Added 2nd template argument (less) to sets in G4ASCIITreeSceneHandler and
1798  G4GAGTreeSceneHandler.
1799
180015th June 2001  Satoshi Tanaka (vis-V03-01-05)
1801- The  first committing of GAGTree driver.
1802- Other files in ./Tree/ are the same as vis-V03-01-04.
1803
18045th June 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-01-04)
1805- Moved re-useable code from G4ASCIITree to G4VTree.
1806- Made sure all pointers in G4VisManager are initialised on construction.
1807
18084th June 2001  John Allison
1809- G4ASCIITree: Added logical volume name and solid name and type under
1810  verbosity control.
1811- G4ASCIITree: Forced culling off so that all volumes are seen, even if
1812  "invisible".
1813
181429th May 2001  John Allison
1815- Small clean up in test directory.
1816
181725th May 2001  John Allison
1818- Bug fix in G4ASCIITree.cc: initialise fVerbosity(0).
1819
182024th May 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-01-03)
1821- Added missing files G4ASCIITreeMessenger.hh/cc.
1822- Bug fix in G4ASCIITreeMessenger.cc: currentAsDefault = true.
1823- Drivers in alphabetical order in MyVisManager.cc.
1824
182523rd May 2001  John Allison
1826- Eliminated Linux pedantic warnings, except FukuiRenderer, VRML and OPACS.
1827
182822nd May 2001  John Allison
1829- Refined ASCIITree.
1830
183121st May 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-01-02)
1832- Minor bug corrections (mostly to fix things that used to work with the
1833  old /vis~/ commands but ceased to work with the new /vis/commands:
1834  o If a scene is empty at drawing time, the "world" is added.
1835  o Window size hint now works for OpenGL.
1836- Fixed some minor warnings for strict C++ (size_t, etc.).
1837
183818th May 2001 John Allison
1839- Removed unnecessary virtual inheritance of G4VViewer in G4RayTracerViewer.
1840- Introduced verbosity to ASCIITree.
1841- Proper deletion of directories in G4VisManagerRegisterMessengers.
1842
184315th May 2001 John Allison
1844- Fixed bug in name of /vis/viewer/set/sectionPlane command.
1845
18463rd May 2001 John Allison (vis-V03-01-01)
1847- Changes for greps-V03-01-01 (elimination of RW).
1848- Improvements in /vis/scene/add/volume.
1849- Added /vis/drawTree.
1850
185110th April 2001  John Allison (vis-V03-01-00)
1852- Added two new commands:
1853    /vis/scene/add/text
1854    /vis/scene/add/axes
1855- Added first version of ASCIITree to dump geometry hierarchy to
1856  standard output as ASCII stream.
1857  This requires two new environment variables:
1858    G4VIS_BUILD_ASCIITREE_DRIVER
1859    G4VIS_USE_ASCIITREE
1860  and config-V03-01-00.
1861
18622nd April 2001  John Allison
1863- Tidied OpenGL (opengl-V03-00-01) - see OpenGL/History.
1864
18652nd April 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-09)
1866- Fixed some warnings from DEC cxx.
1867
186815th March 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-08)
1869- Changed rotation of phi-replicas in G4PhysicalVolumeModel.cc to
1870  ensure correspondence with rule that phi=0 bisects the replica.
1871  WARNING: Prior to this fix the graphics did NOT correspond to the
1872  replica navigation.  If you have been relying on the graphics to
1873  position daughter volumes in a phi-replica, navigation will have
1874  been incorrect, possibly without causing a crash.  The above fix
1875  will change the apparent position as shown by the graphics and you
1876  will have to correct the positioning of daughters.  Make sure the
1877  diaghters are all properly enclosed within the replica.  Graphics
1878  and navigation now correspond,
1879
18807th March 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-07)
1881- Cosmetic corrections for ISO compliance.
1882
188323rd February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-06)
1884- Removed all references to RogueWave.
1885
18864th February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-05)
1887- Reverted to /vis/viewer commands updating vis manager's view parameters.
1888  Otherwise this can have a big effect on users if old commands are still
1889  being used.  Let's schedule this change for the next version of Geant4.
1890- Added the following new commands:
1891  /vis/enable [true|false]
1892  /vis/disable
1893  /vis/verbose [<verbosity-integer>]
1894  /vis/viewer/set/lineSegmentsPerCircle  [<number-of-sides-per-circle>]
1895  /vis/viewer/set/sectionPlane ...
1896  Only /vis/scene/add/text and /vis/scene/add/axes to go!!!
1897
18984th February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-04)
1899- /vis/viewer commands no longer update vis manager's view parameters.
1900- Most /vis~/ copmmands give DEPRECATED warning, except:
1901  /vis~/draw/axes
1902  /vis~/draw/text
1903  /vis~/set/section_plane
1904  /vis~/set/sides
1905  /vis~/set/verbose
1906  which have still to be re-implemented.  All /vis~/ commands are still
1907  available through /vis/ for the time being.  (Window size hint no longer
1908   works.)
1909- Added "auto refresh" to view parameters.
1910- Added "default" view parameters to viewers.
1911- Made OpenGL viewers "auto refresh" by default.
1912- Added:
1913  /vis/viewer/set/autoRefresh
1914  /vis/viewer/set/projection
1915- Added compound command:
1916  /vis/drawView [<theta-deg>] [<phi-deg>]
1917                [<pan-right>] [<pan-up>] [<pan-unit>]
1918                [<zoom-factor>]
1919                [<dolly>] [<dolly-unit>]
1920
19214th February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-03)
1922- Added several new vis commands:
1923  /vis/viewer/dolly
1924  /vis/viewer/dollyTo
1925  /vis/viewer/lightsThetaPhi
1926  /vis/viewer/lightsVector
1927  /vis/viewer/pan
1928  /vis/viewer/panTo
1929  /vis/viewer/viewpointThetaPhi
1930  /vis/viewer/viewpointVector
1931  /vis/viewer/zoom
1932  /vis/viewer/zoomTo
1933  /vis/viewer/set/hiddenMarker
1934  /vis/viewer/set/lightsMove
1935
19363rd February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-02)
1937- Tidied for CodeWizard.  Small changes to many files in management, modeling
1938  and OpenGL.
1939
19401st February 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-00-01)
1941- Fixed cause of crash when setting viewpoint before creating scene (Bug #157).
1942  Solution: SetView no longer called when view parameters are changed.  In
1943  any case it's called just before drawing, whixh is the right place.
1944- Fixed /vis/set/sides problem (Satoshi Tanaka) (Bug #204).
1945  Solution: Update view's view parameters in /vis/set/sides - had somehow
1946  been overlooked.
1947
194825th January 2001  John Allison
1949- Added protection against empty G4Polyhedron objects.
1950   FukuiRenderer/src/G4FRSceneFunc.icc
1951   OPACS/src/G4GoSceneHandler.cc
1952   OpenGL/src/G4OpenGLSceneHandler.cc
1953   OpenInventor/src/G4OpenInventorSceneHandler.cc
1954   VRML/src/G4VRML1SceneHandlerFunc.icc
1955   VRML/src/G4VRML2SceneHandlerFunc.icc
1956
195725th January 2001  John Allison  (opengl-V03-00-00)
1958- Fixed Bug #120.  Implemented running re-calculation of up-vector in
1959  the case of "object rotation" (lights move with camera) to prevent
1960  "flipping" of view when camera passes through up-vector.  Note that
1961  the default is "camera rotation" (lights do not move with camera,
1962  i.e., remain fixed relative to object) so the default is that this
1963  "flipping" can happen.  To set "object rotation" (lights move with
1964  camera) use /vis/lights/move_with_camera true (soon to be
1965  /vis/viewer/set/lights move-with-camera) or click "Object" radio
1966  button on Rotation Panel in OpenGLXm mode.
1967- Changed some objects to references for efficiency.  E.g.:
1968  const G4Vector3D& vp = pView->fVP.GetViewpointDirection ().unit ();
1969
197018th January 2001  John Allison
1971- Corrected G4PhysicalVolumeModel.  This corrects a bug whereby the
1972  requested drawing of a physical volume and its decendants starting
1973  at a depth greater than 2 was incorrectly positioned on the screen.
1974- /vis/scene/include commands withdrawn - use equivalent commands
1975  /vis/scene/add.
1976- OpenGL: cosmetic and minor performance improvements.
1977
197816th January 2001  John Allison  (vis-03-00-00)
1979- All vis commands "available" in all G4 states.
1980- Other small cosmetic changes to commands.
1981- OpenGL: square and circle markers correctly rendered.
1982  Note: subsequent rotations in stored mode also rotate these markers.
1983- Some small changes to test  - see test/History.
1984
19852nd November 2000  Gunter Folger  (vis-V02-00-02)
1986- Added targets includes and clean_libs to visualization/GNUmakefile.
1987
198818th October 2000  John Allison  (vis-V02-00-01)
1989- G4PhysicalVolumeModel: protected against volumes without material.

2411- Removed #include GNU_GCC - no longer necessary for egcs.
2412- Continued developing the new commands.
2413
2414vis-00-04-04  16th December 1998  John Allison
2415- test/GNUmakefile for Linux-g++
2416- test/test19.cc - removed g4templates.hh
2417- OpenGL - reverted to 100%.
2418
2419vis-00-04-03  9th December 1998  John Allison
2420- Made /vis/ commands from /vis~/.  The idea is to maintain backwards
2421  compatibility while allowing us to "deprecate" the old commands over
2422  a period of time.  Some of these /vis/ commands respond with "superceded",
2423  i.e., superceded by new commands, but still available in /vis~/.
2424- OpenGL viewing volume increased by 20% to prevent corners being clipped.
2425
2426- 08/12/98 : G.Barrand : OpenInventor : due to
2427  huge load problems on various platforms, init only
2428  the HEPVis things that are needed.
2429
2430vis-00-04-02  30th November 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2431- G4VRMLFILE_DEST_DIR for customising out file name - see VRML/History.
2432
243329th November 1998
2434- Added CPPFLAGS += -I....electromagnetic/utils/include to test/GNUmakefile.
2435- Added fName to G4SceneData.
2436
2437vis-00-04-01  25th November 1998  John Allison.
2438- G4Ray/GNUmakefile update for move of files in particles.
2439- Added const G4VisAttributes* fpDefaultVisAttributes and access
2440  functions to G4ModelingParameters.
2441- Reverted to default assignment operator and copy constructor for
2442  G4ModelingParameters and G4ViewParameters.
2443- G4PhysicalVolumeModel can now handle invisible daughters.
2444- More new /vis/ commands - depends on intercoms-00-04-01.
2445- G4VScene passes DefaultVisAttributes* to ModelingParameters.
2446
2447vis-00-03-07  23rd November 1998  John Allison.
2448- modeling/GNUmakefile update for move of files in particles (Hisaya).
2449- Removed semi-colon in G4BoundingSphereScene.cc.
2450
2451vis-00-03-06  9th November 1998  John Allison.
2452- Small change to a message in G4VisManager.
2453- VRML refinement - see VRML/History.
2454- Needs greps-00-03-03.
2455
2456vis-00-03-05b  9th November 1998  John Allison.
2457- Merged 6th November changes with vis-00-03-05a
2458- Bug fix in G4VisManager::IsValidView for batch running.
2459- Needs greps-00-03-03.
2460
2461vis-00-03-05a  9th November 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2462- VRML 2.0 Visualization driver is added to
2463  management/include/MyVisManager.cc.
2464
2465vis-00-03-05  9th November 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2466- VRML 2.0 Visualization driver is commited:
2467 (1) Generatin of VRML 2.0 format files to describe Geant4 simulation.
2468 (2) Interactive displaying of physiccal-volume names and copy numbers
2469 (3) Interactive displaying of hit positions (displayed strings are
2470     costomizable.
2471 (4) Wireframe drawing style of Geant4 visualization is reflected as
2472     transparency = 0.7.  This value is customizable.
2473     If transparency is 1.0, drawing of detector geometry is skipped,
2474     and hits can be picked easily.
2475
24766th November 1998  John Allison
2477- Implemented basic /vis/viewer commands.
2478- Added `const G4String& name' argument to G4VScene and G4VView constructors.
2479
2480vis-00-03-04  30th October 1998  John Allison
2481- Tagged.
2482
248329th October 1998  Guy Barrand
2484- G4OpenGLXView.hh, G4OpenGLXmView.cc, G4OpenGLXmWindowHandlingCallbacks.cc
2485  in order that things compile and compile without warnings on HP/aCC
2486
248714th October 1998  John Allison
2488- Augmented the new /vis/ commands.  Still not complete but they
2489  co-work with the old commands.
2490- Changed char* fName to G4String fName in G4VScene and G4VView.
2491  Consequent changes in G4OpenGLView.  Also OpenInventor?  Etc.
2492
249311th October 1998 Andy Walkden
2494- added (not a very good) version of hidden lines removal code. This code
2495  suffers from depth buffering artefacts. glPolygonOffset is a feature of
2496  OpenGL version 1.1, and can help overcome depth buffer problems. The code
2497  to utilise glPolygonOffset is committed, but commented out, as it doesn't
2498  seem to work with the version of Mesa available on rsplus currently. My
2499  ideal strategy is to enable depth testing, draw the model as lines, enable
2500  filled polygon offsetting (glPolygonOffset(1.0 /*offset scale factor*/,
2501  2/*offset bias*/); glEnable (GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_FILLED);) then draw the
2502  model as filled polygons. The offsetting should just add `2' (in window
2503  coordinates, I think) onto the z value of all vertices relating to filled
2504  polygons, thus dismissing the conflict between almost identical z values
2505  for lines and filled polygon edges.
2506
2507vis-00-03-03 9th October 1998  John Allison
2508- G4VisManager inherits G4VStateDependent.  This is used to draw
2509  end-of-event models.
2510
25114th October 1998 Andy Walkden
2512- Added ability for all G4OpenGLX derived graphics systems to produce
2513  vectored PostScript hardcopy. Facility for `automated screen dump'
2514  (i.e. pixmap output) still kept, as some rasterization features
2515  don't make it into the vectored PostScript output (such as haloing
2516  effects). Facility currently available via G4OpenGLXm by clicking
2517  `Miscellany' then `Create .eps file', to get a popup printing
2518  window.
2519
2520vis-00-03-02a  26th September 1998 
2521- DAWNFILE driver is made platform dependent.
2522  (It is now compilable both at both Unix and NT without necessity
2523   of C macros like WIN32.)
2524
2525vis-00-03-02  25th September 1998 
2526- DAWNFILE driver is ported to VC++
2527
2528vis-00-03-01  24th September 1998  John Allison
2529- Eliminated G4VPhysicalVolume* fpWorld data memebr from G4VisManager.
2530

2532- Correct modeling, management, G4Ray /GNUmakefile to have
2533  correct digits+hits includes.
2534
253519th September 1998 Guy Barrand.
2536- Due to a correction in globals.h restore correct code
2537  so that OpenInventor files compile correctly on NT.

2548
2549vis-00-02-04  22nd August 1998  John Allison
2550- Many changes in modeling - see modeling/History.
2551- New commands: /vis/scene/create, list, add/volume, add/ghosts.
2552
2553vis-00-02-03a  20th August 1998  John Allison
2554- Restored some code in G4SceneData.cc
2555- Fixed syntax bug in G4PhysicalVolumeSearchScene.hh
2556
2557vis-00-02-03  14th August 1998  John Allison
2558- Added G4VisManager::GeometryHasChanged() - run manager can notify change.
2559- Removed AddRun(Event)DurationModelToCurrentSceneData - no longer used.
2560- Some bug corrections in visualization/OpenGL (Guy Barrand - see
2561  vis blackboard for details).
2562- Some protection added in visualization/OPACS (do.)
2563- Created visualization/test/OPACS (do.)
2564
256512th August 1998  John Allison
2566- More new commands - not fully functional yet.
2567
256811th August 1998  Guy Barrand
2569- G4OpenInventor : remove uneccesary includes.
2570
2571vis-00-02-02b  11th August  Satoshi Tanaka
2572- AddPrimitive() for polymarker are implemented in DAWN and VRML drivers.
2573
2574vis-00-02-02a  9th August  John Allison
2575- Small bug fix in G4VisCommandsScene.cc.
2576
2577vis-00-02-02  9th August  John Allison
2578- Changed '.' to '-' in scene/view names.
2579- Began introduction of new /vis/ commands.
2580- Consequent changes to test - see test/History.
2581
25827th August  Guy Barrand.
2583- OPACS : use G4VView name to build widget names.
2584- OPACS : use new interactor parenting logic.
2585- OpenGL, OpenInventor, G4Ray : clean compilation warnings for OSF1/cxx, HP/aCC.
2586
25877th August  John Allison/Satoshi Tanaka/Guy Barrand.
2588- Added G4<driver>Scene::AddPrimitive (const G4Polymarker&) to keep
2589  compilers happy.
2590
2591vis-00-02-01  6th August  John Allison
2592- Created G4VisManagerRegisterMessengers.cc.
2593- Bug fix in G4VisManager: now follows change of world volume after
2594  /vis~/clear/scene.
2595- OpenInventor: Correct some upper -> lower case mess (Guy Barrand)
2596- G4RayView: syntax bug fixes.
2597
25984th August 1998 Andy Walkden
2599I made some changes to OpenGL code...
2600The changes are (i) to tidy up some redundant hidden line
2601removal function calls, (ii) to put some hidden line removal
2602code in G4OpenGLScene::AddPrimitive(G4Polyhedron) and
2603(iii) to add an option to generate an encapsulated postscript
2604file of the current view in OpenGLXm. There is now a button
2605in the Miscellany pulldown of the main menubar to bring up
2606a shell in which you can specify a filename, colour or black
2607and white and request the creation of a .eps file. The
2608code is to be found in G4OpenGLXView, and so is not bound
2609to the Xm user. Also it needs fixing for some Mesa
2610implementations, and the HP CDE environment manages to stuff
2611things up when rendering to a pixmap (although CDE makes a
2612mess of most other things as well, so this isn't
2613disastrous).
2614
2615
2616vis-00-01-08  21th July 1998  John Allison
2617- Removed automatic refresh from /vis/camera/reset in G4VisCommandsCamera.cc.
2618
2619vis-00-01-07b  21th July 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2620- Revised G4FRSCENE::SendBoundingBox() so that
2621  zooming polycy of  DAWN drivers becomes consistent with
2622  OpenGL drivers
2623
2624vis-00-01-07  20th July 1998  John Allison
2625- Corrected bug in G4VisManager::IsViewValid to trap drawing commands
2626  before geometry is available.
2627
2628vis-00-01-06  19th July 1998  John Allison
2629- Default culling: culling - on, culling of invisible objects - on.
2630- set/drawing_style does *not* change culling flags.
2631- Minor bug fixes.
2632
2633vis-00-01-05  15th July 1998  John Allison

2638- Introduced interactivity.gmk into GNUmakefiles.
2639
2640vis-00-01-03  6th July 1998  John Allison
2641- Changes for interface restructuring.
2642- Simplified MyVisManager.

2648
2649vis-00-01-01  4th July 1998  John Allison
2650- Moved G4VIS_BUILD.gmk and G4VIS_USE.gmk to geant4beta/config.

2654- Small changes to test - see test/History.
2655- Tidied.
2656- Removed GNUmakefile.G4VIS_USE and make_list.sh.
2657
265830th June 1998 - Paulo & Marc
2659- added the G4FlavoredParallelWorldModel.hh file to
2660  visualization/modeling/include;
2661- added the /vis~/draw/Ghosts [particle name] command
2662  in the G4VisManMessDraw.cc file;
2663- added
2664  CPPFLAGS += -I$(G4BASE)/geometry/magneticfield/include and
2665  CPPFLAGS += -I$(G4BASE)/processes/parameterisation/include
2666  lines to GNUmakefile to compile G4VisManMessDraw.cc.

2671
2672vis-00-06-09  26th June 1998  John Allison
2673- OPACS and Open Inventor - something about widget parents (GB)
2674- Removed /new_vis/ commands.
2675
2676vis-00-06-08a  26th June 1998 Satoshi Tanaka
2677- Updated G4VIS_USE.gmk
2678- (1) Macro -DG4VIS_USE_DAWNFILE is made properly set
2679- (2) G4VIS_USE_DAWN_ is renamed to G4VIS_USE_DAWN_OR_DAWNFILE
2680- (3) G4VIS_USE_VRML_ is renamed to G4VIS_USE_VRML_OR_VRMLFILE
2681
2682vis-00-06-08  22nd June 1998  John Allison
2683- Changed G4BASE = ../.. to G4BASE = $(shell (cd ../..; pwd))
2684- Changed GNUmakefile.G4VIS_BUILD to G4VIS_BUILD.gmk
2685
2686vis-00-06-07  19th June 1998  John Allison
2687- Defined G4_SOLVE_VIS_TEMPLATES in G4VIS_USE.gmk.  Needs
2688  the head version of GNUmakefile.architecture.
2689- Consequential changes (improvements) to template handling in test19.cc
2690- Some minor improvements in modeling.
2691
2692vis-00-06-06  11th June 1998  John Allison
2693- Fixes to test_utils - see test/History.
2694- Improvements in modeling - see modeling/History.
2695
2696vis-00-06-05  11th June 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2697- In G4VisManMessDraw.cc and G4VisManMessSet.cc , ...
2698  //    G4double unit = G4UIcommand::valueOf (unitString);
2699        G4double unit = G4UnitDefinition::GetValueOf (unitString);
2700
2701vis-00-06-04  10th June 1998  John Allison
2702- Created G4VIS_USE.gmk to replace GNUmakefile.G4VIS_USE.
2703- Changed test/GNUmakefile to use G4VIS_USE.gmk.
2704- Separate libraries are now default in GNUmakefile.
2705- Committed an interim version of README.
2706- Moved G4BoundingSphereScene from management to modeling.
2707- First attempt at defining the "scene" as lists of models.
2708- Removed some unnecessary checks in G4VisManMess*.
2709
2710vis-00-06-03  27th May   1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2711- DAWNFILE driver is added. It is to generate g4.prim file
2712  under the current directory.  And make DAWN or DAVID invoke
2713  using the g4.prim file as an input. For details, see the blackboard
2714  document.
2715
271621st May 1998 Andy Walkden
2717- Added hidden line removal code to G4OpenGLView. HLR utilises OpenGL's
2718  stencil buffer, but still the drawn lines are a little fragmented
2719  (an effect seen often when depth buffering is used to resolve pixel
2720  rendering disputes).
2721- HLR requires wireframe rendering, filled polygon rendering and then wireframe
2722  rendering again. Hence, three visits to the kernel help to slow HLR
2723  rendering right down.
2724
2725vis-00-06-02  20th May   1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2726- Added G4VisFeaturesOfDAWNFILE.hh, cc
2727- Revised visualization/GNUmakefile, GNUmakefile.G4VIS_BUILD,
2728  GNUmakefile.G4VIS_USE
2729- These are for DAWNFILE driver in preparation, which enables to
2730  invoke DAVID directly from Geant4.
2731
2732vis-00-06-01a 20th May   1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2733- code refinement of FukuiRenderer driver
2734
2735vis-00-06-01  29th April 1998  John Allison
2736- Introduced non-pure virtual functions
2737  Establish/DecommissionSpecials (G4PhysicalVolumeModel&) in
2738  G4VGraphicsScene with implementation of the former in G4VScene.
2739  Modified G4PhysicalVolumeModel to use it; also protected
2740  G4PhysicalVolumeModel against non-implementation of
2741  Establish/DecommissionSpecials.
2742- Template instantiations in G4RayView made exclusive to GNU_GCC
2743- Some minor changes under test - see test/History.
2744
274527th April 1998 Andy Walkden
2746- altered OpenGLView's structure a little. Now, G4OpenGLXmView is a
2747  type of (inherits from) G4OpenGLXView.
2748- made code for haloing effects common to all OpenGL views.
2749- changed XUnmapWindow in G4OpenGLXView::~G4OpenGLXView to XDestroyWindow
2750  (idea of Guy's)
2751
275227th April 1998 Guy Barrand
2753- vis/OPACS : remove Begin/EndModeling in G4GoScene.
2754
2755vis-00-05-06  23rd April 1998  John Allison
2756- Changed test19.mac to test19.g4m and consequent change in test19.cc.
2757- Fixed order of linking vis-a-vis -lG4track and -lG4tracking (GB).
2758- Fixed inadvertent bug in test_utils/src/MyPhysicsList.cc.
2759- Bug fix in G4OpenGLXmConvenienceRoutines.cc (GB).
2760
2761vis-00-05-05  21st April 1998  John Allison
2762- Added run-time command line argument: test19 [<session-type>] [<verbosity>]
2763- Removed #if GNU_GCC from template instantiation requests in test19.cc.
2764- Added fDefaultTextVisAttributes to G4ViewParameters.
2765- Added G4VScene::GetTextColour (changed G4FukuiRendererScene, G4GoScene and
2766  G4OpenInventorScene.
2767- Changed default view parameters: culling on and invisible object culling on.
2768- Tidied CreateScene/View.
2769- Continued BaBar development.
2770
277115th April 1998  John Allison
2772- Added test/EucIntfce/, test/Bogus/ and test/babar_utils/ for BaBar test code.
2773  Also a new main() in BaBarCallListTest.cc.  Also a data file call_list.dat.
2774  See babar_utils/README.
2775- Camera commands, except spin and orbit, no longer initiate draw.
2776- Text is blue for time being (visible on black or white background.)
2777
277815th April 1998 : Guy Barrand
2779- From discussion with John and Simone G4VToolkit
2780  has been renamed to G4VInteractorManager.
2781
2782vis-00-05-04a  11th April 1998  Satoshi Tanaka
2783- Code improvements in DAWN driver
2784- (1) View parameters are sent to DAWN only at drawing times.
2785- (2) Way of getting marker size are made simpler by using
2786-     G4VScene::GetMarkerRadius ()  etc.
2787
2788vis-00-05-04  8th April 1998  John Allison
2789- Small bug fix - then tag for Easter.
2790
2791HEAD  6th April 1998  John Allison
2792- Added error printing to G4OpenGLScene::AddPrimitive (const G4Text& text).
2793- Added /vis~/draw/text.
2794- Added units to /vis~/draw/axes.
2795- Began the job of restructuring vis commands; so there is a new class
2796  G4VisCommandsCameraMessengers for starters!
2797
2798HEAD  4th April 1998  John Allison
2799- Removed automatic drawing after /vis~/set commands.  Now an explicit
2800  redraw is necessary, but it allows you to change parameters during
2801  building a view.  For example to superimpose projected hits on a
2802  section:
2803    /vis~/clear/view
2804    /vis~/set/section_plane on 0 0 20 cm 0 0 1
2805    /vis~/draw/current
2806    /vis~/set/section_plane off
2807    /run/beamOn
2808- Fixed small bug in OpenGL for section drawing.
2809- Made some small improvements in G4ViewParameters.
2810
2811vis-00-05-03  4th April 1998  John Allison
2812- Re-engineered maintenance of current depth, etc.  Needed new method
2813  G4VGraphicsScene::BeginModeling (G4PhysicalVolumeModel&) in
2814  graphics_reps.  The result is much cleaner model and modeling
2815  parameters classes.  Also, the current depth, physical volume and
2816  logical volume are immediately available as protected pointers in
2817  G4VScene.
2818- Required G4VScene::Begin/EndModeling to be invoked from subclass.
2819- Introduced G4NullModel to hold modeling parameters.  This avoids
2820  having to create a G4VModel for each graphics primitive.
2821
2822HEAD  3rd April 1998  John Allison
2823- Added GetMarkerDiameter/Radius to G4VScene.
2824- Bug fix in G4VScene::GetMarkerSize.
2825- Removed GetCurrentPhysicalVolume from G4PhysicalVolumeModel - now in
2826  G4ModelingParameters (but might move again soon!).
2827- test/GNUmakefile now uses "$(MAKE) separate" for vis libraries.
2828- test19 recognises argument "1" as a verbose flag value.

2958  It coworks (I hope - it's difficult to be 100% sure about
2959  this since I have a few changes for other categories in
2960  the pipeline - see previous email) with:

2976  to-be-adopted G4VIS_... variables - see visualization/test/README.
2977- Consequent changes to other visualization GNUmakefiles.
2978- New way of instantiating graphics systems:
2979  Set the appropriate environment variables and include and
2980  compile G4VisRegisterGraphicsSystems.icc in your main():
2981    ...
2982    #include G4VisRegisterGraphicsSystems.icc
2983    ...
2984    main() {
2985      ...
2986- Added G4VisFeaturesOfXXX files which simple return a G4String.
