<material name="material-name"/> <!-- alternative: child or attr -->
Envelope: Use special envelop shape (default: assembly)
The envelope tag must match the expected pattern of the utility
dd4hep::xml::createStdVolume(Detector& desc, xml::Element e)
<envelope name="volume-name" material="material-name">
<shape name="shape-name" type="shape-type" args....>
</shape>
</envelope>
Option 1: No additional children. use default material
and place all children in the origin of the envelope
Option 2: Volume with default material
<volume name="vol-name"/>
Option 3: Volume with non-default material
<volume name="vol-name" material="material-name"/>
Option 4: Volume with optional placement. No position = (0,0,0), No rotation = (0,0,0)
<volume name="vol-name" material="material-name"/>
<position x="0" y="0" z="5*cm"/>
<rotation x="0" y="0" z="0.5*pi*rad"/>
</volume>
For sensitive volumes: add physical volume IDs:
<volume name="vol-name" material="material-name"/>
<physvolid name="layer" value="1"/>
<physvolid name="slice" value="10"/>
</volume>
</XXX>

# v01-12
* 2020-02-26 Andre Sailer ([PR#637](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/637))
- LcioEventReader: fix setting of color flow, second coordinate was never set
* 2020-02-25 Markus Frank ([PR#633](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/633))
- Added basic implementation for CAD interface to load shapes from CAD files. There is an open issue how to best embed the volume/shape loading from CAD files into the existing infrastructure. See for [presentation](https://indico.cern.ch/event/885083/contributions/3758180/attachments/1990793/3318984/2020-02-20-DD4hep-Tessellated-Shapes.pdf). This feature is only available if build against ROOT 6.22 or higher.
- DDCAD used the [assimp](https://github.com/assimp/assimp) librray to interprete the CAD files.
- Simplify grammar instantiation.
- For grammars to be parsed with `boost::spirit` simply include
`#include "DD4hep/detail/Grammar_parsed.h"`
- For Grammars which should **not be parsed** with `boost::spirit` include
`#include "DD4hep/detail/Grammar_unparsed.h"`
- To instantiate the code and to register the instantiation call:
`template <> dd4hep::Grammar<my-class>;`
- If the Grammar is supposed to be registered call instead/in addition:
`static auto s_registry = GrammarRegistry::pre_note<my-class>();`
- All other macros are gone.
* 2020-02-21 Andre Sailer ([PR#631](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/631))
- Only build DDG4 Python dependent libraries and pcms if Python and PyROOT are found
* 2020-02-21 Andre Sailer ([PR#627](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/627))
- MakeGaudiMap: better inference of listcomponents and library location by using target properties
- MakeGauiMap: Detailed information about the command is not only printed when VERBOSE=1
* 2020-02-19 Marko Petric ([PR#626](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/626))
- Check in python modules that load `libglapi` is only called if the library is not already loaded.
* 2020-02-19 Sebastien Ponce ([PR#624](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/624))
- Fixed bug in the `dd4hep_add_test_reg` function which was only taking into account the last dependency of a test when several were present.
* 2020-02-19 Marko Petric ([PR#622](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/622))
- Add missing conversion from `unicode` to `str` for python 2 case in `DDrec.py`
- Add test to check dd4hep python module imports
- Fixes for tests from examples:
- typo in tessellated example
- make gdml read test dependent on the gdml write test
- Add check to test if the version of python used to build ROOT is the same to the version detected by CMake to build DD4hep (works only from ROOT 6.20)
* 2020-02-17 Andre Sailer ([PR#621](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/621))
- Cmake: dd4hep_add_dictionary: directly use command, no longer created bash script to be called. See details of call with `make VERBOSE=1`
- PluginServiceV2: use `boost::split` instead of walking of char arrays, fix bug when two colons are in the environment variable. Fixes #600
* 2020-02-13 Sebastien Ponce ([PR#620](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/620))
- added missing dependency of Persist_CLICSiD_Geant4 test on Persist_CLICSiD_Save_LONGTEST
* 2020-02-11 Marko Petric ([PR#618](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/618))
- Fix from which version of ROOT `TGeoTessellated` is supported (starting only in 6.22)
- Fix location of test file in tessellated example
* 2020-02-06 Hadrien Grasland ([PR#613](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/613))
- Use the official CMake configuration mechanism provided by TBB >= 2017 U7.
- Do not delete move constructors in DigiKernel as this breaks current versions of TBB.
* 2020-02-05 Markus Frank ([PR#610](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/610))
- Thanks to @agheata, ROOT now supports tessellated shapes. These new shapes are now supported by DD4hep including the automatic translation to Geant4. The tessellated shapes feature is only supported when compiling against ROOT 6.20.0 or higher.
- Added a basic shape test for the tessellated shape.
* 2020-02-03 Markus Frank ([PR#608](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/608))
- SInce we do not use DTD checking all DTD links from lcdd xml files have been removed in examples.
- Add 2 examples to check the usage of NTP and STP temperature/pressure conditions
* 2020-01-09 Markus Frank ([PR#606](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/606))
- Resolves #605
- There was an apparent bug when cloning `DetElement` trees. Not only for the top element, which should receive a new ID, this top ID was propagated to all children. This was clearly wrong. The correct solution is:
- Top element gets a new ID
- Children keep their ID
- If a user wants to preserve the old functionality the flag `DetElement::PROPAGATE_PARENT_ID` must be set in the clone statement.
* 2019-12-18 Markus Frank ([PR#604](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/604))
- Allow to set ambient temperature and pressure for all materials.
- predefined settings: STP, NTP
- Example:
- `examples/ClientTests/compact/Check_Air.xml`
- Apply global temperature and pressure for all materials and especially for one single material.
- Verification for Geant4: `examples/ClientTests/scripts/Check_Air.py`
- DDG4: allow Geant4 messengers to pass parameter string.
* 2019-12-16 Markus Frank ([PR#603](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/603))
- Resolves #599
- Resolves #601
- Work on #595
* 2019-11-27 Markus Frank ([PR#597](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/597))
- Intermediate release to store improvements in the development of DDDigi:
Start implementing noise chains
- Fix cmake build if CLHEP is included in Geant4 and not external.
* 2019-11-16 Markus Frank ([PR#596](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/596))
- Requre that all materials must be entered explicitly.
- The default ROOT element table is disabled.
- Fix examples, which relied on the default ROOT elements being present
- Fix #595 for DDCMS:
- The density was not re-normalized to the units TGeo was expecting. Same for atomic weights.
- Fill missing elements to `DDCMS/data/materials.xml` (Values to be cross-checked by CMS)
* 2019-11-09 Markus Frank ([PR#593](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/593))
- Fix Geant4 conversion for Polyhedra and Polycone if start_phi != 0 (See issue https://github.com/AIDASoft/DD4hep/issues/578)
- Preparatory work to have placeholder volumes for twisted tubes (See issue https://github.com/AIDASoft/DD4hep/issues/588)
* 2019-10-29 Andre Sailer ([PR#590](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/590))
- DumpBField: correct the column unit printout and prepare for eventual change of default length unit
- MagneticFields example: correct the unit for the Z parameter of the MultiPole to tesla

* 2019-10-23 Andre Sailer ([PR#575](https://github.com/AidaSoft/DD4hep/pull/575))
* CMake: Add `DD4HEP_USE_EXISTING_DD4HEP` option which together with `DD4HEP_BUILD_PACKAGES` can be used to rebuild, for example only DDG4.
* This creates a new Package called "DD4hepSelected" which can then be used alongside the full DD4hep Package in a third project.
* 2019-10-22 Marko Petric ([PR#586](https://github.com/AidaSoft/DD4hep/pull/586))

* 2019-08-22 Andre Sailer ([PR#552](https://github.com/AidaSoft/DD4hep/pull/552))
* DD4hepConfig: `DD4hepConfig.CMake` now exports `DD4hep::DDCore` `DD4hep::<Component>` targets to be consumed by users of the DD4hep package, the CMake variables `DD4hep_LIBRARIES` etc. are still being filled for backward compatibility
* DD4hep CMake: Only the `dd4hep_add_plugin` and `dd4hep_add_dictionary` CMake functions are to create targets still exist, `dd4hep_add_package`/`library`/`executable` were removed and instead the cmake `default add_library`/`executable` have to be used.

- Moved `setDimensions` call out of the individual dd4hep shapes into the base Solid.
- Add `Solid::dimensions()`, `Solid::setDimension()` implementation for `PseudoTrap` and `TruncatedTube`. The solution is not optimal, because a analytical solution tends to be ambiguous due to solutions of polynomials of degree 2 and the initial parameters had to be stored as a string.
- Upgraded shape tests to also check the shapes (using mesh vertices) after a re-dimension using the same parameters.
- Geant4FieldTrackingSetup: Any failure in the creation of the `G4EquationOfMotion` or the `G4MagIntegratorStepper` is now FATAL and causes an exception.
* 2019-08-12 Markus Frank ([PR#549](https://github.com/AidaSoft/DD4hep/pull/549))
- Adopted new Gaudi plugin manager V2. V1 can be enabled using compile switch in `DD4hep/config.h`. Removed the traces from the ROOT5 Reflex based plugin service. The new plugin service depends on `Boost::file_system` and `Boost::system`.

- From ROOT 6.20 onwards dd4hep shall use the Geant4 unit system (mm, nsec, MeV) instead of the TGeo units (cm, sec, keV). This commit prepares for the necessary changes.
- A new package was created, which shall host the dd4hep digitization components.
A small tbb based multi threaded framework was put in place. Now the real work can start.
- The material scanner has now a switch to run in interactive mode from the ROOT prompt.
To invoke: materialScan compact.xml x0 y0 z0 x1 y1 z1 -interactive
If the interactive switch is missing, the old behavior is preserved.
* 2019-06-26 Markus Frank ([PR#517](https://github.com/AidaSoft/DD4hep/pull/517))

* 2019-06-26 MarkusFrankATcernch ([PR#516](https://github.com/AidaSoft/DD4hep/pull/516))
- CMakeLists: Changed the order in which include directories are listed when compiling, move DD4hep source paths to the front. This fixes a problem if older DD4hep installations are inadvertently in one of the include paths passed to compilers or rootcling (e.g., in LCG Views), fixes #515
* 2019-06-06 Andre Sailer ([PR#514](https://github.com/AidaSoft/DD4hep/pull/514))
- Gean4ExtraParticles: no longer add decay process to extra particles, this is done by Geant4 resolves #513

* 2019-04-29 MarkusFrankATcernch ([PR#508](https://github.com/AidaSoft/DD4hep/pull/508))
* Geant4GDMLWriteAction:
* Add properties to Geant4GDMLWriteAction to steer writing of regions, cuts and sensitive detectors. See github issue #507
* Property: Export region information to the GDML: ExportRegions, default: True
* Property: Export energy cut information to the GDML: ExportEnergyCuts, default: True
* Property: Export sensitive detector information to the GDML: ExportSensitiveDetectors, default: True
* **Note: The Geant4 physics list must be initialized BEFORE invoking the writer with options. Otherwise the particle definitions are missing! If you ONLY want to dump the geometry to GDML you must call**
```
/run/beamOn 0
```
before writing the GDML file!
You also need to setup a minimal generation action like:
```py
sid.geant4.setupGun('Gun','pi-',10*GeV,Standalone=True)
```

- Add move constructors to handles
- Improve const-ness of detector object in DDG4
* 2019-03-11 Markus Frank ([PR#491](https://github.com/AidaSoft/DD4hep/pull/491))

# v01-10
* 2019-01-31 Markus Frank ([PR#480](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/480))
- Fix bug in `geoDisplay` to allow passing the volume display depth as an argument
- Added a static creator to the Detector class to create non-traced instances: `std::unique_ptr<Detector> Detector::make_unique(const std::string& name);` It is the users responsibility to release the allocated resources and to avoid clashed with existing `TGeoManager` instances.
- Allow direct access to the solid instance of the DetElements's placement.
* 2019-01-15 Markus Frank ([PR#478](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/478))
- Fix bug in `geoDisplay` see #477
* 2019-01-10 Markus Frank ([PR#476](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/476))
- Fix bug in ConditionsUserPool whan scanning DetElement conditions
- Improve conditions handling: Allow to bind sub-class entities of ConditionObject to thew opaque data block.
* 2018-12-14 Markus Frank ([PR#475](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/475))
- Add named shape constructors (see #469)
* 2018-12-13 Markus Frank ([PR#474](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/474))
- Fix possible access violation
* 2018-12-13 MarkusFrankATcernch ([PR#473](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/473))
- Improve handling of condition dependencies ( main work item)
- Improve logic flow in the DDCond/ConditionDependencyHandler
- Improve the functionality of the conditions resolver accessible from the update context. Allow for the creation (and registration) of multiple conditions in one single callback.
- Add a shape check for eight-point solids.
* 2018-12-07 Frank Gaede ([PR#470](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/470))
- add `#include <memory>` to `run_plugin.h` (needed for `std::unique_ptr` and gcc 4.9)
* 2018-12-06 Markus Frank ([PR#468](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/468))
- To fix issue #466 we had to go back to the original implementation which was actually correct (see https://github.com/AIDASoft/DD4hep/commit/36d4b01e0688f690ac2e506a62e00627bb6b798c#diff-7219d47bc4ab7516e0ca6c4f35f2602f).
- Added an example to show how to perform scans of the volume hierarchy with user defined callback functors. See for details `examples/ClientTests/src/PlacedVolumeScannerTest.cpp`.
- Added conversion between `TGeoArb8` and `G4GenericTrap`, fixes #465
* 2018-12-05 Markus Frank ([PR#467](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/467))
- Harmonize argument names in `Shapes.h` with their actual functionality. For many shapes in `DD4hep/Shapes.h` the argument names were misleading: very often deltaPhi was mentioned, whereas the code actually used instead of (phi, deltaphi) the input arguments to the ROOT constructors (startPhi,endPhi) or (phi1, phi2). Wherever ROOT uses (startPhi,endPhi) the argument names were changed accordingly. Please note a bug was found in the legacy constructor:
```cpp
/// Legacy: Constructor to create a new identifiable tube object with attribute initialization
Tube(const std::string& nam, double rmin, double rmax, double dz, double startPhi, double endPhi)
```
Here opposite to all other constructors delta_phi was used as such - in contradiction to other constructors of the same class. This was rectified.
* 2018-11-30 Andre Sailer ([PR#462](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/462))
- Introduce compile flag to minimize conditions footprint
* 2018-11-27 Markus Frank ([PR#461](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/461))
- Add shape constructor for regular trapezoids (TGeoTrd1) ( see #460). Trd2 cannot be divided the same way as Trd1 shapes. Hence the addition became necessary. Due to the imprecise name of Trapezoid the names Trd1 and Trd2 (aka old Trapezoid) are favored. The usage of Trapezoid is supported for backwards compatibility using a typedef.
* 2018-11-22 Markus Frank ([PR#459](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/459))
- Fix bug in DDCodex geometry, add debugging to VolumeBuilder
* 2018-11-14 Markus Frank ([PR#458](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/458))
- Improve ROOT persistency: flag user extensions as persistent only while saving/loading
- Need to rename DDEve library: nameclash with ddeve executable on Apple: cmake fails to build ddeve as exe and DDEve as library. libDDEve.so is now called libDDEvePlugins.so.
* 2018-11-13 Markus Frank ([PR#457](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/457))
## Provide support for Volume divisions.
Since DD4hep requires Volumes (aka `TGeoVolume`) and PlacedVolumes (aka `TGeoNode`) to be enhanced with the user extension mechanism, therefore shape divisions **must** be done using the division mechanism of the DD4hep shape or the volume wrapper. Otherwise the enhancements are not added and you will get an exception when DD4hep is closing the geometry or whenever you do something with the volume, which is served by the user extension. The same argument holds when a division is made from a `Volume`. Unfortunately there is no reasonable way to intercept this call to the `TGeo` objects - except to the sub-class each of them, which is not really acceptable either.
Hence: **If you use DD4hep: Never call the raw TGeo routines.**
For any further documentation please see the following ROOT documentation on [TGeo](http://root.cern.ch/root/html/TGeoVolume.html)
For an example see `examples/ClientTests/src/VolumeDivisionTest.cpp`
and `examples/ClientTests/compact/VolumeDivisionTest.xml`
To execute:
```
geoDisplay -input file:<path>/examples/ClientTests/compact/VolumeDivisionTest.xml

- Fixed the DetElement cloning mechanism it to properly replicate DetElement trees.
- Tested with one LHCb upgrade detector.
- Added numeric epsilon to the default math dictionary of the expression evaluator:
```cpp
int:epsilon --> std::numeric_limits<int>::epsilon()
long:epsilon --> std::numeric_limits<long>::epsilon()
float:epsilon --> std::numeric_limits<float>::epsilon()
double:epsilon --> std::numeric_limits<double>::epsilon()
```
* 2018-10-30 Markus Frank ([PR#451](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/451))
- Add copyright notices
- Make ddeve a program not only a ROOT script
* 2018-10-30 Markus Frank ([PR#450](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/450))
- The DDUpgrade example was removed from the main repository. Since it is only of interest for LHCb, it moved to a separate repository at CERN/gitlab.
- Issue #449 should be fixed now.

* 2018-06-26 Shaojun Lu ([PR#412](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/412))
- Added one more if statement: If the track went into new Volume,
- then extracted the hit in previous Volume,
- and start a new hit in this current Volume,
- in this current process, also allow the same following treatments for the new hit.
* 2018-06-21 Markus Frank ([PR#409](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/409))
- Support out-of-source builds of DD4hep examples.
Comes with an expense: A new environment DD4hepExamplesINSTALL.
has to be defined to support internal file accesses and loads.
The builds were also checked with read-only installation directories.
Solves issue https://github.com/AIDASoft/DD4hep/issues/382

- Fix truncated tube shape
* 2018-06-04 Markus Frank ([PR#400](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/400))
- Allow for world volumes other than boxes. See `examples/ClientTests/compact/WorldVolume.xml` how to set it up. The effective thing is that the top level volume must be set to the TGeoManager before `Detector::init()`. If a top level volume is set, it is implicitly assumed to be the world volume. Otherwise the already existing mechanism (box volume) is activated.
- Add new basic shape tests.
* 2018-06-01 Markus Frank ([PR#399](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/399))
- As discussed in issue #398 The use of TGeoUnits is inconvenient. The dd4hep units are now exposed in the python modules.
- Basic shapes are now tested in the regular ctest executions. The mesh vertices of the shapes were
saved to a reference file and are compared to in subsequent runs. The reference files reside in
`examples/ClienTests/ref`. See `examples/ClientTests/compact/Check_Shape_*.xml` for details.
- The ROOT UI and some dump plugins were enhanced to expose more information.
* 2018-05-30 Markus Frank ([PR#397](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/397))
- Enable to start DDG4 using a saved detector description in a ROOT file.
- Added corresponding test: `Persist_CLICSiD_Geant4_LONGTEST`
- Fix shape constructors for Trap and PseudoTrap
- The python module `DD4hep.py` is gone as discussed in the developers meeting use `dd4hep.py` instead.
- on masOS : your "git pull" possibly deletes both files. you may have to checkout `dd4hep.py` again, due to fact that the filesystem is case-insensitive.
- Add example for LHCb CODEX-b.

`$> geoPluginRun -ui -interactive`
results in DD4hep enabled ROOT prompt.
- DD4hepUI: improvements to interact with DD4hep instance from ROOT prompt
- DDDB improve configuration for printing and debugging

# Implementation of non-cylindrical tracking region (resolves #371)
- It is possible to define volumes in a parallel world such as e.g. a tracking region. In principle any volume hierarchy may be attached to the parallel world. None of these volumes participate in the tracking as long as the "connected" attribute is set to false. The hierarchy of parallel world volumes can be accessed from the main detector object using
```cpp
dd4hep::Volume parallel = dd4hep::Description::parallelWorldVolume()
```
This parallel world volume is created when the geometry is opened together (and with the same dimensions) as the world volume itself.
- IF the NAME of the volumes is "tracking_volume" within the compact notation it is declared as the Detector's trackingVolume entity and is accessible as well:
```cpp
dd4hep::Volume trackers = dd4hep::Description::trackingVolume()
```
- Although the concept is available in the DD4hep core, it's configuration from XML is only implemented for the compact notation. For details see the example `examples/ClientTests/compact/TrackingRegion.xml`.
- If the volume should be connected to the world: connected="true". This is useful for debugging because the volume can be visualized else if the volume is part of the parallelworld: connected="false". The volume is always connected to the top level. The anchor detector element defines the base transformation to place the volume within the (parallel) world.
```xml
<parallelworld_volume name="tracking_volume" anchor="/world" material="Air" connected="true" vis="VisibleBlue">
<shape type="BooleanShape" operation="Subtraction">
<shape type="BooleanShape" operation="Subtraction">
<shape type="BooleanShape" operation="Subtraction" >
<shape type="Tube" rmin="0*cm" rmax="100*cm" dz="100*cm"/>
<shape type="Cone" rmin2="0*cm" rmax2="60*cm" rmin1="0*cm" rmax1="30*cm" z="40*cm"/>
<position x="0*cm" y="0*cm" z="65*cm"/>
</shape>
<shape type="Cone" rmin1="0*cm" rmax1="60*cm" rmin2="0*cm" rmax2="30*cm" z="40*cm"/>
<position x="0" y="0" z="-65*cm"/>
</shape>
<shape type="Cone" rmin2="0*cm" rmax2="55*cm" rmin1="0*cm" rmax1="55*cm" z="30*cm"/>
<position x="0" y="0" z="0*cm"/>
</shape>
<position x="0*cm" y="50*cm" z="0*cm"/>
<rotation x="pi/2.0" y="0" z="0"/>
</parallelworld_volume>
```
# Enhancement of assemblies, regions and production cuts (resolves #373)
On request from FCC particle specific production cuts may be specified in the compact notation. These production cuts (Geant4 currently supports these for e+, e-, gammas and protons) are specified as "cut" entities in the limitset. (See the example `examples/ClientTests/compact/Assemblies.xml`).
- The hierarchy of cuts being applied is:
- If present particle specific production cuts for a region are applied.
- else the "cut" attribute of the compact region specification is used
- else the global Geant4 cut is automaticallly applied by Geant4.
```xml
<limits>
<limitset name="VXD_RegionLimitSet">
<!--
These are particle specific limits applied to the region
ending in Geant4 in a G4UserLimits instance
-->
<limit name="step_length_max" particles="*" value="5.0" unit="mm" />
<limit name="track_length_max" particles="*" value="5.0" unit="mm" />
<limit name="time_max" particles="*" value="5.0" unit="ns" />
<limit name="ekin_min" particles="*" value="0.01" unit="MeV" />
<limit name="range_min" particles="*" value="5.0" unit="mm" />
<!--
These are particle specific production cuts applied to the region
ending in Geant4 in a G4ProductionCuts instance
-->
<cut particles="e+" value="2.0" unit="mm" />
<cut particles="e-" value="2.0" unit="mm" />
<cut particles="gamma" value="5.0" unit="mm" />
</limitset>
</limits>
```
# SensitiveDetector types not changed by Geant4SensDetActionSequence (resolves #378)
The sensitive detector type defined in the detector constructors is no longer changed intransparently in the back of the users. This may have side-effects for creative detector constructor writers, who invent sd types out of the sky. These obviously will not work with Geant4, because in Geant4 a mapping of these types must be applied to supported sensitive detectors. Now the mapping of a sd type (e.g. "tracker") is strict in the python setup. The default factory to create any sensitive detector instance in Geant4 (ie. an object of type G4VSensitiveDetector, G4VSDFilter, Geant4ActionSD) is a property of the Geant4Kernel instance and defaults to:
```cpp
declareProperty("DefaultSensitiveType", m_dfltSensitiveDetectorType = "Geant4SensDet");
```
- Since the actual behavior is defined in the sequencer instanciated therein this default should be sufficient for 99.99 % of all cases. Otherwise the factory named "Geant4SensDet" may be overloaded.
* 2018-05-15 David Blyth ([PR#379](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/379))
- Geant4FieldTrackingConstruction now properly overrides `constructField()`
* 2018-05-03 David Blyth ([PR#377](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/377))
- Geant4Handle unhandled reference to shared actions. This affected the destruction of shared actions.
* 2018-05-03 Markus Frank ([PR#375](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/375))
- Development of a small user example on how to do analysis in `DDG4`.
- See `examples/DDG4/src/HitTupleAction.cpp`
- Simply collect the energy deposits of hits and write an N-tuple with them.
- The example shows how to access the hit collections and to extract the data in order to write other more sophisticated analyses.
- This `DDG4` action is used in one of the Minitel examples: `examples/ClientTests/srcipts/MiniTelEnergyDeposits.py`
* 2018-05-02 Markus Frank ([PR#374](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/374))
- recommission the multithreaded SiD example
- `DDG4/examples/SiDSim_MT.py` vs. `DDG4/examples/SiDSim.py`
* 2018-04-19 Markus Frank ([PR#370](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/370))
* Allow to disable building the documentation cmake option BUILD_DOCS. By default ON and backwards compatible. If set to OFF no doc shall be built. (not everybody has biber installed)
* Move from `DD4hep.py` to `dd4hep.py`, since `DD4hep.py` has to disappear due to conflicts on MAC.
* 2018-04-13 Markus Frank ([PR#367](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/367))
- resolves #361
The Detector object has a state `Detector::state()` with three values:
```cpp
/// The detector description states
enum State {
/// The detector description object is freshly created. No geometry nothing.
NOT_READY = 1<<0,
/// The geometry is being created and loaded. (parsing ongoing)
LOADING = 1<<1,
/// The geometry is loaded.
READY = 1<<2
};
```
It starts with `NOT_READY`, moves to `LOADING` once the geometry is opened and goes to `READY` once the geometry is closed. As suggested in the developers meeting: the initial field object is invalid and gets created only once the geometry is opened. As a corollary, the field may not be accessed before. Geometry parsers must take this behavior into account!
- Address some compiler warnings.
- Mainly add override/final statements in header files.
- Implement a module to invoke python as a DD4hep plugin:
invoked e.g. by: `geoPluginRun -plugin DD4hep_Python -dd4hep -prompt`
```
geoPluginRun -plugin DD4hep_Python -help
Usage: -plugin <name> -arg [-arg]
name: factory name DD4hep_Python
-import <string> import a python module, making its classes available.
-macro <string> load a python script as if it were a macro.
-exec <string> execute a python statement (e.g. import ROOT.
-eval <string> evaluate a python expression (e.g. 1+1)
-prompt enter an interactive python session (exit with ^D)
-dd4hep Equivalent to -exec "import dd4hep"
-help Show this online help message.
Note: entries can be given multiple times and are executed in exactly the
order specified at the command line!
```
Implementation wise the plugin is a simple CLI wrapper for TPython.
* 2018-04-12 Marko Petric ([PR#362](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/362))
- Update DD4hepManual
* 2018-04-12 Markus Frank ([PR#360](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/360))
- Examples: only build some examples depending on the availability of dependencies.
- DDCore: Add interface to allow URI blocking during file parsing. Default is as now.
- DDCMS: Add conversion of new shapes.
* 2018-04-10 Markus Frank ([PR#359](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/359))
- Bunch of fixes. Mostly in `examples/DDDB`
- Only build `examples/DDDB` if XercesC is present.
- Only build `examples/DDCMS` if CLHEP is present
* 2018-04-09 Markus Frank ([PR#357](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/357))
- Add configuration options for loading DDDB
* 2018-04-05 Markus Frank ([PR#351](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/351))
- To avoid unwanted disappearing conditions sub pools, a conditions slice may be instructed to collect shared references to the used pools in the slice.
- For python:
- Move DDG4/SystemOfUnits.py to DDG4/g4units.py
Keep SystemOfUnits.py with deprecation warning
- move DD4hep.py to dd4hep.py.
import dd4hep also imports all TGeoUnit units into its namespace.
Hence: import dd4hep; print dd4hep.m gives: "100.0"
- DD4hep.py is kept for backwards compatibility issuing a deprecation warning
- DDG4.py: imports g4units as G4Units: DDG4.G4Units.m etc.
- DDG4.py: imports TGeoUnit as TGeo4Units: DDG4.TGeoUnits.m etc.
- Some problem with replacing DD4hepUnits.h with TGeoSystemOfUnits.h
Surface test complains. To be investigated. Keep old DD4hepUnits for the time being.
* 2018-04-05 Markus Frank ([PR#350](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/350))
- Merge `DDCMS` and `DDCMSTests` to `DDCMS`
- Move `DDDB` to the `examples/`
- Add tests `DDDB_DeVelo` and `DDDB_DeVelo_Gaudi` missing from #349
* 2018-04-05 Markus Frank ([PR#349](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/349))
- Resolves #339
- DDDB conditions had a bug when loading from file base. The IOV was not handled properly. Now the resulting IOV is configurable using properties.
- Added Gaudi like example use case for options handling with the DeVelo detector elements.
- Configuration improvement in DDG4 action Output2ROOT:
- New property "DisableParticles" allows to suppress the MCParticle record from being written to the ROOT file.
- dto. the option "DisabledCollections" allows to NOT write any hit collection.
- Unit tests for these options are not (yet) present.
- DDCond: allow for user defined conditions cleanup policies. Base class `dd4hep::cond::ConditionsCleanup`. Callbacks are issued to the class for IOV type pools and IOV dependent pools asking if the pools should be processed.

### DDG4 enhancements
- Enable framework support in DDG4. The `Geant4Context` is the main thread specific accessor to the `dd4hep`, `DDG4` and the user framework.
- The access to the `dd4hep` objects is via the `Geant4Context::detectorDescription()` call,
- the access to `DDG4` as a whole is supported via `Geant4Context::kernel()` and
- the access to the user gframework using a specialized implementation of:
`template <typename T> T& userFramework() const;`
A user defined implementations must be specialized somewhere in a compilation unit of the user framework, not in a header file. The framework object could host e.g. references for histogramming, logging, data access etc.
This way any experiment/user related data processing framework can exhibit it's essential tools to `DDG4` actions.
A possible specialized implementations would look like the following:
```cpp
struct Gaudi {
IMessageSvc* msg;
IHistogramSvc* histos;
....
};
template<> Gaudi& Geant4Context::userFramework<Gaudi>() const {
UserFramework& fw = m_kernel->userFramework();
if ( fw.first && &typeid(T) == fw.second ) return *(T*)fw.first;
throw std::runtime_error("No user specified framework context present!");
}
```
To access the user framework then use the following call:
```cpp
Gaudi* fw = context->userFramework<Gaudi>();
```
of course after having initialized it:
```cpp
Gaudi * fw = ...;
GaudiKernel& kernel = ...;
kernel.setUserFramework(fw);
```
- `G4RunManager` is now a plugin. To enable user defined run managers in `DDG4`, the run manager is encapsulated in a `Geant4Action`. See `DDG4/plugins/Geant4RunManagers.cpp` how to implement such plugins. Currently there are to factories implemented:
- `G4RunManager` -> factory invokes the single threaded `G4RunManager`
- `G4MTRunManager `-> factory invokes the multi threaded `G4MTRunManager`
The factory names here are identical to the names of the native G4 classes.
* 2017-11-30 Marko Petric ([PR#268](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/268))
- Introduce new DD4hep web-site: http://dd4hep.cern.ch/
- Page is automatically build from [this repo](https://gitlab.cern.ch/CLICdp/DetectorSoftware/DD4hep-website)
- Restructured `doc` folder and removed not doc related stuff to `etc`

- Remove print statements from DDG4 scripts
- Replace prints with calls to the python logging utility. Hopefully this shall give at some point python3 compatibility.

# v01-04
* 2017-10-17 Markus Frank ([PR#248](https://github.com/aidasoft/DD4hep/pull/248))
### VolumeManager Implementation
A possibly important bug was fixed for the lookup of top level subdetectors in the `VolumeManager` by volume identifers of (sensitive) volumes. Due to a bug in the de-masking possible wrong top level subdetectors were returned. The default use cases typically do not use this call and hence should not be affected.
* 2017-10-17 Shaojun Lu ([PR#247](https://github.com/aidasoft/DD4hep/pull/247))
- Fix C++11 pointer error by adding include <memory> for 'unique_ptr' (GCC 4.9).
* 2017-10-13 Marko Petric ([PR#246](https://github.com/aidasoft/DD4hep/pull/246))
### DDCMS:
- Improve the CMS excercise. New examples etc.
- Support for simulation using DDG4 (at least partially - since not all subdetector volumes are accepted by Geant4).
### DDG4:
- Event reader returns `EVENT_READER_EOF` if `EOF` is detected rather than a generic IO error.
- Add generator status word to the `Geant4Particle` object. Remove the extension mechanism, which is very heavy to just add one integer.
### General:
- We need to distinguish the plugins using some namespace mechanism. I started to introduce the namespace separator `"_".` Hence all DD4hep plugins start with `DD4hep_<plugin>`. I hope this does not break everything. If it does, please notify me and we can undo.
* 2017-10-13 Whitney Armstrong ([PR#243](https://github.com/aidasoft/DD4hep/pull/243))
- Added helper function `getAttrOrDefault` (defined in `DDCore/include/XML/Helper.h`)
This function `getAttrOrDefault(xml::Element e, xml::XmlChar attr_name, T default_value)` will return the attribute name, converted to to type `T` but if it is not found it will return `default_value`. When building new detectors supplying this is useful for supplying default attribute values.
* 2017-10-19 Markus Frank ([PR#249](https://github.com/aidasoft/DD4hep/pull/249))
* Improve the CMS tracker visualisation
* Add DDG4 simulation example to DDCMS
* Add some plugins to add visualisation attributes if required (not for the compact description)
* 2017-11-01 David Blyth ([PR#254](https://github.com/aidasoft/DD4hep/pull/254))
- DDG4/python/DDG4.py: loadDDG4() changed to not raise exception if libraries are already loaded
* 2017-11-01 David Blyth ([PR#252](https://github.com/aidasoft/DD4hep/pull/252))
- Added requirement of Python 2 in cmake/FindPYTHON.cmake. This makes clear the requirement of Python 2, and resolves the issue where CMake tries to build with Python 3 in a system where both exist.
* 2017-11-07 Frank Gaede ([PR#256](https://github.com/aidasoft/DD4hep/pull/256))
- bug fix in `BitField64::operator[std::string]() `
- make uses of TString in DocumentHandler.cpp compatible with clang9 (on Mac)

- fix reading of stdhep/lcio generator files with generator statuses not in [0,3]
- add `G4PARTICLE_GEN_BEAM` and `G4PARTICLE_GEN_OTHER` to DDG4
- `G4PARTICLE_GEN_BEAM` is generally agreed to be used for beam particles (HepMC, LCIO)
- all other status codes vary from generator to generator and we use OTHER
- for stdhep or lcio input the true generator status is preserved in the lcio output, regardless of its value
- create a vertex for every parent-less particle in LCIOEventReader
- this allows for example to read GuineaPig files ( non-prompt pair particles) or special user created files with non-prompt particles

## Implement ROOT persistency mechanism for detector descriptions (continuation of AIDASoft/DD4hep#202).
Object extensions are now persistent.
This is however not for free: **it requires a dictionary for the extension itself and it requires a dictionary for the class holding the extension**. These are:
- `dd4hep::DetElement::DetElementExtension<IFACE,CONCRETE>` for `DetElement` extensions.
- `dd4hep::SimpleExtension<IFACE,CONCRETE>` for simple extension managed by the user framework (user calls explicitly destructor).
- `dd4hep::DeleteExtension<IFACE,CONCRETE>` for simple extension managed by dd4hep (dd4hep calls automatically destructor on hosting object destruction).
- `dd4hep::CopyDeleteExtension<IFACE,CONCRETE>`. As above, but these extensions support calling the copy constructor of the embedded object and hence allow to copy also the hosting objects.
Please note: to persistify these objects it was necessary to no longer use the type-info of the objects as an identifier, but rather a 64-bit-hash of the raw type-info-name. This relies that this name is identical across platforms. This typically is true for linux, but not enforced by any standard.

- CMake:: dd4hep_generate_rootmap: use CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR if it is set. If the macro is called from other libraries this variable might be set and should be used for consistency. Fixes #212

## Implement ROOT persistency mechanism for detector descriptions
The following commits allow to save and restore Detector objects (ie. the full detector description) to/from ROOT. Most changes affected the usage of void pointers.
It is **NOT** possible to:
* save object extensions. Another usage of void pointers and type-info objects, which both cannot be saved.
* save callback objects. Callbacks store in memory pointers to member functions. These depend on the loading of libraries at run-time and hence may differ from application to application.
* save conditions slices. This shall be a futute extension. There should be no fundamental problem doing so - it was simply not yet done.
In the example area a new slot call "Persistency" was created with various tests:
* Save and restore simple conditions
* Save and restore the MiniTel detector (`examples/ClientTests/compact/MiniTel.xml`)
* Save and restore the CLICSiD detector (`examples/CLICSiD/compact/compact.xml`)
The detector examples also have a set of tests associated to check the validity of the restored information.
## Integrate `DDSegmentatation` into `DDCore`
As a first step to start the cleanup of `DDSegmentation` the code was integrated into `DDCore`. For backwards compatibility a dummy library `libDDSegmentation.so` is kept, so that client cmake files directly referring `DDSegmentation` still work. **This tough is only a temporary measure and users should remove references to the DDSegmentation library.** Include files can be accessed as before. These are part of the `DDCore` include directory.
* 2017-08-15 Yorgos Voutsinas ([PR#216](https://github.com/AIDAsoft/DD4hep/pull/216))
* Adding variable "nocore" for beam pipe (with default value = false) In case the variable appears in the BP xml file as "true", the BP sections will have no core of beam material, in order that someone might add various BP walls made of different materials while avoiding G4 overlaps. Example of use:
```xml
<detector name="BeBeampipe" type="DD4hep_Beampipe_o1_v01" insideTrackingVolume="true" nocore="true" vis="BeamPipeVis">
```

* 2017-08-14 Markus Frank ([PR#217](https://github.com/AIDAsoft/DD4hep/pull/217))
## Enhance ROOT Detector Description Persistency
Conditions slices from the DD4hep conditions store can now be saved to ROOT files ans named objects. Conditions persistency examples are added to the `examples/Conditions` section.
The examples are derived from the Telescope and CLICSiD example:
- `Conditions_Telescope_root_save`
- `Conditions_Telescope_root_load_iov`
- `Conditions_Telescope_root_load_pool`
- `Conditions_CLICSiD_root_save_LONGTEST`
- `Conditions_CLICSiD_root_load_iov_LONGTEST`
- `Conditions_CLICSiD_root_load_usr_LONGTEST`
- `Conditions_CLICSiD_root_load_cond_LONGTEST`
## Fix Handle Problem when Accessing Materials from Volumes
A cast problem was not spotted in the last commit, which manifested itself in accessing invalid materials from volumes. This commit resolves #211 , reported by @jhrdinka.
A set of tests checks this behaviour in the ClientTests: `ClientTests_volume_materials_<text>`, where the volume tree is scanned and for all sensitive volumes and access the corresponding `materials/TGeoMedium` entities from the volume object.
* 2017-07-18 Shaojun Lu ([PR#208](https://github.com/AIDAsoft/DD4hep/pull/208))
- added "#include <memory>" for the smart pointers to DD4hepRootPersistency.cpp
* 2017-07-19 Markus Frank ([PR#209](https://github.com/AIDAsoft/DD4hep/pull/209))
- Implement `dd4hep::Tube` using `TGeoTubeSeg` (See also Issue AIDASoft/DD4hep#203 for details)
* 2017-07-21 Markus Frank ([PR#210](https://github.com/AIDAsoft/DD4hep/pull/210))
## Implement ROOT persistency mechanism for the conditions
Conditions pools can now be made persistent provided all the dictionaries for the payload objects are provided. A new class `ConditionsRootPersistency` allows to save and re-load conditions pools to/from a ROOT file. Such pools can either be:
- Simple `ConditionsPool` objects
- The entire `IOV` indexed pool set (class `ConditionsIOVPool`) or
- A the pool used by a `ConditionsSlice` (class `UserPool`).
- A std::vector<Condition> which belong all to the same IOV
In any case the restoration of the saved conditions is performed through the `ConditionsManager` interface in order to ensure proper management of the added condition objects.
Some example plugin tasks were added in examples/Conditions:
- `DD4hep_ConditionExample_save` to save conditions to a ROOT file.
- `DD4hep_ConditionExample_load` to restore conditions from file.
## Split of dictionary files
The ROOT dictionary creation in `DDCore` was getting increasingly large. Now the ROOT dictionaries are created in several files, what firstly allows them to be produced in parallel and secondly eases the compilation due to smaller generated file sizes.

## DDCore: Changes to the VolumeManager interface
Recent descrepancies showed that the call to lookup a placement
from the volume manager may have an ambiguous meaning:
It may (as used until now) be the placement of thge closest
detector element - a functionality used by various tests
or be the placement of the sensitive volume itself.
So far, since each sensitive volume in the DD4hep tests
is represented by a DetElement structure, both
approaches returned the same placed volume.
Since there is the possibility to have sensitive volumes, which are not
directly connected to a single DetElement structure, this call was
split to resolve this ambiguity:
/// Lookup a physical (placed) volume identified by its 64 bit hit ID
PlacedVolume lookupVolumePlacement(VolumeID volume_id) const;
/// Lookup a physical (placed) volume of the detector element
/// containing a volume identified by its 64 bit hit ID
PlacedVolume lookupDetElementPlacement(VolumeID volume_id) const;

## DD4hep namespace reorganization
Re-organize namespaces according to the decisions of the DD4hep developers meeting from 16th June we have decided:
1. all namespaces will be lower case and shorter
* rename namespace `DD4hep` -> `dd4hep`
* rename namespace `DD4hep::DDRec` -> `dd4hep::rec`
* rename namespace `DD4hep::Simulation` -> `dd4hep::sim`
* rename namespace `XML` -> `xml` and `JSON` -> `json`
* rename all other namespaces according to this pattern
2. The namespace `DD4hep::Geometry::` will be incorporated into `dd4hep::`
3. All utilities will be moved `dd4hep::detail`
4. `LCDD` will be renamed to `Detector` and current `Detector.h` will be renamed to `DetElement.h`
8. Examine if `DDSegmentation` can be incorporated into `DDCore` and make it volume aware
* If this this cannot be achieved in whole place `DDSegmentation` into the right namespace
## DDParsers
DDParsers are now a separate package. This does not make it yet standalone,
but it is at the same level as e.g. DDSeqmentation. Any librarian is
encouraged to externialize it fully.

# v00-24
* 2017-06-08 Markus Frank ([PR#160](https://github.com/AIDASoft/DD4hep/pull/160))
* Add a new class `AlignmentsNominalMap`, which behaves like a `ConditionsMap` and handles alignment entries.
* The `AlignmentsNominalMap` is not a conditions cache per-se. This implementation behaves like a `conditionsmap`, but it shall not return real conditions to the user, but rather return the default alignment objects (which at the basis are conditions as well) to the user. These alignments are taken from the `DetElement` in question `Alignment DetElement::nominal()`.
* The basic idea is to enable users to write code "as if" there would be conditions present. This is important to ease in the lifetime of the experiment the step from the design phase (where obviously no conditions are taken into account) to a more mature phase, where alignment studies etc. actually are part of the "bread and butter work".
* Added a corresponding example in examples/AlignDet:
```
$> geoPluginRun -volmgr -destroy -plugin DD4hep_AlignmentExample_nominal \
-input file:${DD4hep_DIR}/examples/AlignDet/compact/Telescope.xml
```
* Access the DetElement nominal conditions using the `AlignmentNominalMap`.
Any use of DDCond is inhibited.
1) We use the generic printer, which during the detector element scan accesses the conditions map.
2) We use a delta scanner to extract the nominal deltas from the `DetElement`'s nominal alignments
3) We use a `ConditionsTreeMap` to perform the alignments re-computation.
* 2017-06-08 Markus Frank ([PR#159](https://github.com/AIDASoft/DD4hep/pull/159))
# Implementation of the decisions made at the Conditions mini-workshop
## Access mechanisms of DD4hep conditions for utilities
Access to conditions is solely supported using the interface class DDCore/ConditionsMap.
* All utilities must use this interface.
* Any concrete implementation using conditions/alignment utilities must implement this interface
* Basic implementation using STL `map`, `multimap` and `unordered_map` are provided.
* A special no-op implementation of this interface shall be provided to access "default" alignment conditions. This implementation shall fall-back internally to the `DetElement::nominal()` alignment.
Known clients: `VolumeManager` (hence: DDG4, DDRec, etc.)
Though this sounds like a trivial change, the consequences concern the entire conditions
and alignment handling. This interface decouples entirely the core part of DD4hep
from the conditions cache handling and the alignment handling.
Based on this interface most utilities used to handle conditions, detectors scans
to visit `DetElement` related condition sets, alignment and conditions printers etc.
For details, please see:
```
DDCore/include/DD4hep/AlignmentsPrinter.h
DDCore/include/DD4hep/AlignmentsProcessor.h
DDCore/include/DD4hep/ConditionsPrinter.h
DDCore/include/DD4hep/ConditionsProcessor.h
DDCore/include/DD4hep/DetectorProcessor.h
```
## Naming conventions for detector conditions
* Condition are logically attached to DetElements
* Condition names are: `DetElement.path()+"#"+condition-name`
Example: `/world/LHCb/DownstreamRegion/Muon/M5/M5ASide/R3ASide/Cham046#alignment`
* Condition keys are a `int64` compound of two `int32`:
```cpp
union {
int64 key;
struct {
int32 item_key;
int32 det_key; // Needs to be the high word to have a properly ordered map
} values;
};
det_key = hash32(DetElement.path())
item_key = hash32(condition-name)
```
**Condition keys must be unique throughout the detector description.**
* Alignment conditions naming conventions:
* Alignment-delta conditions are called `alignment_delta`.
* Fully qualified alignment conditions are called `alignment`.
DD4hep provided alignment utilities rely on this convention.
* Other conditions can be named freely.
## Important Notice
The **Alignment conditions naming conventions** are already used by several utilities involving alignments. If you plan to use these, do not freely ignore these recommendations. When the naming conventions are ignored, these utilities shall not work.
## Updates to DDCond
DDCond implements a working conditions cache following the design criteria sketched above. The `conditionsSlice` object implements (though by forwarding to the `ConditionsUserPool`) a `ConditionsMap` interface.
The `DD4hep_ConditionsMapUserPool` plugin implements in a very efficient way this interface using an ordered map. Using the above described key definition, this implementation allows very efficient scans of conditions/alignments etc. of individual detector elements, since conditions which belong to the same detector element are contiguous.
## Alignment handling/computations
Using the conditions maps, the computation of (mis-)alignment data from deltas
is no longer bound to the conditions mechanisms.
A special utility called `AlignmentsCalculator` is put in place (see `DDCore/include/DD4hep/AlignmentsCalculator.h`) to facilitate the computation of a coherent set of alignments given a set of delta-parameters. This mechanism is much simpler, easier to understand and far less code intensive than the previously designed callback mechanism where alignments are obtained using conditions derivation.
## Update of the existing examples
The example sets in DDDB, `examples/Conditions, examples/AlignDet`, `examples/DDDB` were updated according to the changed mechanism of accessing conditions. Here we can see the real benefits of the new approach: keeping same functionality, the examples became way off simpler. Simply count the number of lines of code.

Improvements to the compact xml processing
===========================================
Elements may now be specified within compact in 2 ways:
1) old way: create an effective element:
` <element Z="4" formula="Be" name="Be" >`
` <atom type="A" unit="g/mol" value="9.01218" />`
` </element>`
2) create element by defining an isotope mixture:
` <isotope name="C12" Z="6" N="12"/>`
` <atom unit="g/mole" value="xxxx"/>`
` </isotope>`
`.....`
` <element name="C">`
` <fraction n="0.9893" ref="C12"/>`
` <fraction n="0.0107" ref="C13"/>`
` </element>`
Improved debugging of compact xml conversions
The following tags allow to enable increased prinout depending on additional tags in the compact file:
` <debug>`
` <type name="isotopes" value="1"/>`
` <type name="elements" value="1"/>`
` <type name="materials" value="0"/>`
` <type name="visattr" value="0"/>`
` <type name="regions" value="0"/>`
` <type name="readout" value="0"/>`
` <type name="limits" value="0"/>`
` <type name="segmentation" value="0"/>`
` </debug>`
Disable the ROOT TGeo element table from the compact xml.
Note: ALL elements must then be specified in the XML material database.
` <geometry>`
` <clear name="elements"/>`
` </geometry>`
By default compact accepts exactly one input file (others may be included therein).
In order to process iteratively multiple input files, the opening and the closing of the
geometry steering tags may be added to the compact description. This example
gives the default behaviour:
` <geometry open="true" close="true"/>`
Please note: per compact file exactly ONE geometry tag is allowed.
Debugging the DDG4 geometry conversion mechanism
=============================================
New boolean properties of the Geant4DetectorGeometryConstruction object,
which result in debugging printouts (defaults are OFF):
DebugMaterials
DebugElements
DebugShapes
DebugVolumes
DebugPlacements
DebugRegions
PrintPlacements
PrintSensitives

- Add a new input type by parsing JSON files. The basic json interpreter
is present and offers essentially the same interface as the XML persers.
The integration to the compact dialect however is not yet done.
It should become however a valid alternative to parsing XML files
with a small maintenance overhead, since the enhancement implementation
present in XMLDimesion.h, XMLDetector.h and XMLChildValue.h is shared
and instantiated for both.

(affects IDDDescriptor and VolumeManager).
2 New tests:
- ClientTests/Bitfield_SidesTest.xml to test readout string:
system:8,barrel:-2
- ClientTests/Bitfield_SidesTest2.xml to test readout string:
system:16,barrel:16:-5
* 2016-10-18 M.Frank
- Due to pressure of the FCC folks, I tried to implement a more dd4hep like implementation of the
the segmentation objects. For testing only CartesianGridXY. If this mechanism works,
it could be a starting recipe for the rest of the segmentations. The draw-back of this approach is,
that assignments are not reversible:
dd4hep::CartesianGridXY xy = readout.segmentation(); // Works
dd4hep::Segmentation seg = xy; // Should not work
- Reason: the managed objects are different....at some point in time I will have to find a
clean solution for this, but the required changes for such a solution shall be manageable.
# v00-17
* 2016-09-29 V.Volkl
- Small fixes and extensions of DDEve. Show "Views" menu even if specifying xml on the command line.
Add possibility to specify event data in EveDisplay method, rather than having to select it in the gui dialogue.
Selects FCC EventHandler if specified in the config xml (as an "eventHandler"-attribute to the "display" node),
but keeps default behavior if not.
* 2016-08-24 M.Frank
- Adding first somehow useful implementation to use conditions and the consequent loading thereof.
Used by the DDDB implementation/example. DDDB is an alternative way to populate the dd4hep
detector description using LHCb's detector description database.
The reason is, that only a running experiment has a reasonable base to conditions data
If interested, please have a look in the DDDB examples.
- Still TODO:
- A formal way to bootstrap the conditions loading still has to be found.
- Conditions loading from XML files and a small comprehensive example.
* 2016-07-26 Shaojun Lu
- Added new MegatileLayerGridXY segmentation for Scintillator strip Ecal, which is implemented by K.Kotera,
and used by SEcal04Hybrid geometry driver.
- many ( minor fixes ) by F. Gaede, M. Petric, A Sailer, ...
* 2016-06-24 M.Frank
- Implement multiple segmentations.
Though one readout objects (associated to one DetElement) may only have on segmentation,
The MultiSegmentation type allows to have several sub-segmentations, which can be chosen
from.
Please see examples/ClientTests/*/MultiSegmentations
- At the same time allow the readout object to defined multiple collections through
the IDDescriptor.
Please see examples/ClientTests/*/MultiCollections
- The combined example can be found in
Please see examples/ClientTests/*/NestedSegmentations
* 2016-05-03 M.Frank
- Green light is ON. You may use revision 2237 and above.
* 2016-05-03 M.Frank
- **Mega commit. Do not use until green signal arrives with seperate release notice.**
- Package DDDB: Prove of concept, that we can populate the geometry also from other
sources than xml files obeying the lccdd notation.
- DDCore/XML: Implement the possibility to use external entity resolution for Xerces.
There is not equivalent in TinyXML (AFAIK).
- Remove some of the Spirit parsers, since the libraries are getting way too big.
This implicitly assumes, that object properties of 'exotic' types such as
deque<long double> etc. are not really used. If you need properties stay to the obvious:
string, int float, double and vectors, maps and sets thereof!
- DDG4 needed to public the DDG4Python include directory (Now in DDG4/Python).
Reason: try to create ROOT 6 dictionaries, which can be relocated for release purposes.
- ROOT 6 dictionary generation: Create dictionaries with the additional flag:
"-inlineInputHeader" which physically includes the header files used to generate the
dictionaries --> relocatability.
* 2016-03-21 M.Frank
- Add additional vertex argument to EventReader::readParticles, which supposedly should
* 2016-03-03 M.Frank
- Improve/complete job options type palette.
- Allow modify the Geant4IsotropGenerator to shoot particle distributions according
to several distributions:
flat in : uniform, cos(theta), eta/pseudorapidity, ffbar (1+cos^2 theta)
