class TGeometry: public TNamed

                    T G E O M E T R Y  description


    The Geometry class describes the geometry of a detector.
    The current implementation supports the GEANT3 style description.
    A special program provided in the ROOT utilities (toroot) can be used
    to automatically translate a GEANT detector geometry into a ROOT geometry.

   a Geometry object is entered into the list of geometries into the
     ROOT main object (see TROOT description) when the TGeometry
     constructor is invoked.
   Several geometries may coexist in memory.

   A Geometry object consist of the following linked lists:
        - the TMaterial list (material definition only).
        - the TRotmatrix list (Rotation matrices definition only).
        - the TShape list (volume definition only).
        - the TNode list assembling all detector elements.

   Only the Build and Draw functions for a geometry are currently supported.


  The conversion program from Geant to Root has been added in the list
  of utilities in utils directory.(see g2root)
  The executable module of g2root can be found in $ROOTSYS/bin/g2root.

  To use this conversion program, type the shell command:
        g2root  geant_rzfile macro_name

  for example
        g2root na49.geom na49.C
  will convert the GEANT RZ file na49.geom into a ROOT macro na49.C

  To generate the Geometry structure within Root, do:
    Root > .x na49.C
    Root > na49.Draw()
    Root > wh.x3d()    (this invokes the 3-d Root viewver)
    Root > TFile gna49("na49.root","NEW")  //open a new root file
    Root > na49.Write()                    //Write the na49 geometry structure
    Root > gna49.Write()                   //Write all keys (in this case only one)
  Note: all keys are also written on closing of the file, gna49.Close or
  when the program exits, Root closes all open files correctly.
  Once this file has been written, in a subsequent session, simply do:
    Root > TFile gna49("na49.root")
    Root > na49.Draw()

  The figure below shows the geometry above using the x3d viewer.
  This x3d viewver is invoked by selecting "View x3d" in the View menu
  of a canvas (See example of this tool bar in TCanvas).
