GXINT(1)						      General Commands Manual							  GXINT(1)

NAME

       gxint - load and run an interactive GEANT application

SYNOPSIS

       gxint [options] file(s)

DESCRIPTION

       gxint is a script to load and run a GEANT application, which is usually in the form of Fortran source code.  The desired routines are given
       in file(s).

OPTIONS

       -d driver
	      Specify a graphics driver.  The available options on Linux are X11 and Motif (which should also  work  with  lesstif).  X11  is  the
	      default.

       -g geant_version
	      Specify  the  version of GEANT to use.  Current default is 3.21.	This option only makes sense if you have installed a GEANT version
	      other than 3.21 (i.e. one not packaged by Debian).

       -h host
	      Useful with the -d X11 option only.  Specifies the hostname used for the display; syntax is identical with that of $DISPLAY.  If	no
	      hostname is specified, the value of $DISPLAY is used.

       -l library
	      Specify additional libraries.  This option may be repeated to add several libs.

       -L path
	      Additional  loader search path.  Useful if additional libraries are specified with -l option.  This option may be repeated with more
	      than one pathname.

       -m     Do NOT use main program from cernlib area.

       -o outputfile
	      Do not immediately run GEANT, but instead produce an executable file named outputfile.  If "-o" is not given,  the  executable  file
	      will be created in $HOME, named GEANTpid (pid being the process ID of gxint), and run automatically.

       -v version
	      Specify  version of $CERN_LEVEL.	This is meaningless unless you have installed an upstream version of CERNLIB (i.e. not packaged by
	      Debian); see the file /usr/share/doc/cernlib-base/README.Debian.

       -?, --help
	      Show a summary of options.

       /usr/share/doc/cernlib-base/README.Debian describes how one might use the -v flag with Debian's versions of the cernlib and  gxint  scripts
       if one has an upstream version of CERNLIB installed.

G2ROOT(1)                                                     General Commands Manual                                                    G2ROOT(1)

NAME

       g2root - convert GEANT geomtry files to ROOT files

SYNOPSIS

       g2rootd [-f map_name] geant_name macro_name

DESCRIPTION

       You  can  convert a GEANT (see http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asd/geant/index.html fore more on GEANT) geometry to ROOT geometry with the following
       steps

       1      Run the interactive version of GEANT and produce a Zebra RZ file detector.geom, by typing the command:

              Geant > rz/file 21 detector.geom on

       2      Run the g2root program to convert the Zebra RZ file into a ROOT macro detector.C:

              g2root detector.geom detector.C

       3      Run the following ROOT session;

              root [1] .x detector.C
              root [2] detector.Draw()
              root [3] c1.x3d()   // (this invokes the 3-d Root viewver)
              root [4] TFile f("detector.root","NEW") //open a new root file
              root [5] detector.Write() //Write the geometry structure
              root [6] f.Write()

       Note that the TNode structure currently in ROOT was not designed as a replacement for a true geometry package. The idea was mainly to  draw
       simple  geometries  in  event display programs. We are currently investigating several alternatives for a true & efficient geometry package
       supporting;

       -      a disk data base with storage of multiple geometry versions

       -      an interactive editor and viewer

       -      with 3-d views

       -      but also 2-d cut views

       -      with interfaces to existing or future MC such as GEANT3 or GEANT4

       A second program called gh2root (see http://root.cern.ch/root/gh2root.html) generates automatically C++ code corresponding  to  the  GEANT3
       Zebra structures JSET, JVERTX, JKINE, JHITS and JDIGI.
