I think I didn't make myself clear: Where do I get the source code for the SHIFT libraries ROOT requires? Is is at http://savannah.cern.ch/projects/castor/ If so, shouldn't the options really be changed to `--with-castor-libdir' etc.? > Concerning TViewerOIV: it is our intention to discontinue the support > for this viewer.

The new OpenGL viewer is indeed very nice. A few questions: * However, I really miss the possibility of saving the current scene to a file (.eps, .gif, .jpg, .svg, or what not) - but I guess I'm not the first to raise that point :-) And I'm sure you're dealing with it. * Would it be possible to hide the light sources too? Ofcourse, one can simply turn them off, but that removes the light too. * In the attached script (a simplified version of the the ALICE FMD3 geometry), the XTRU objects are not drawn right when you look from the nose of the support cone, while they look find when viewed from the back of the cone. When I turn on wireframe display in the OpenGL viewer, I see that the XTRU objects contain more lines than I've defined. It seems that one of the triangles that make up the XTRU object is `dominating'. The new Ged classes are very nice too. A few questions: * I miss the buttons `Ok', `Apply', and `Cancel' (and possibly in `Close') in the pop-ups. * Also, sometimes, the pop-ups do not have a title bar and some times they do. * When enabling the editor, the canvas may be too small to hold the full interface, in which case, one has to turn off the auto-resize option and manually make the canvas larger. It would be nice if there was a scrollbar instead.
