8.2 What Can Be Visualized?

In Geant4 Visualization, you can visualize simulated data such as:

- Detector components
  - A hierarchical structure of physical volumes
  - A piece of physical volume, logical volume, and solid
- Particle trajectories and tracking steps
- Hits of particles in detector components

and other user defined objects such as:

- A polyline, that is, a set of successive line segments
- A marker which marks an arbitrary 3D position
- texts, i.e., character strings for a description, a comment, or a title
- Eye guides such as coordinate axes

You can visualize all these things either with visualization commands or by calling visualizing functions in your C++ source codes.
