TGeoIterator Class Reference

A geometry iterator.

A geometry iterator that sequentially follows all nodes of the geometrical hierarchy of a volume. The iterator has to be initiated with a top volume pointer:

TGeoIterator next(myVolume);
A geometry iterator.
Definition: TGeoNode.h:245

One can use the iterator as any other in ROOT:

TGeoNode *node;
while ((node=next())) {
...
}
A node represent a volume positioned inside another.They store links to both volumes and to the TGeoM...
Definition: TGeoNode.h:41

The iterator can perform 2 types of iterations that can be selected via:

next.SetType(Int_t type);
int Int_t
Definition: RtypesCore.h:43
int type
Definition: TGX11.cxx:120

Here TYPE can be:

  • 0 (default) - 'first daughter next' behavior
  • 1 - iteration at the current level only

Supposing the tree structure looks like:

TOP ___ A_1 ___ A1_1 ___ A11_1
| | |___ A12_1
| |_____A2_1 ___ A21_1
| |___ A21_2
|___ B_1 ...

The order of iteration for TYPE=0 is: A_1, A1_1, A11_1, A12_1, A2_1, A21_1, A21_2, B_1, ...

The order of iteration for TYPE=1 is: A_1, B_1, ... At any moment during iteration, TYPE can be changed. If the last iterated node is for instance A1_1 and the iteration type was 0, one can do:

next.SetType(1);

The next iterated nodes will be the rest of A daughters: A2,A3,... The iterator will return 0 after finishing all daughters of A.

During iteration, the following can be retrieved:

The iterator can be reset by changing (or not) the top volume:

void Reset(TGeoVolume *top=0)
Resets the iterator for volume TOP.
Definition: TGeoNode.cxx:1138
TGeoVolume, TGeoVolumeMulti, TGeoVolumeAssembly are the volume classes.
Definition: TGeoVolume.h:47

Example:

We want to find out a volume named "MyVol" in the hierarchy of TOP volume.

TIter next(TOP);
TGeoNode *node;
TString name("MyVol");
while ((node=next()))
if (name == node->GetVolume()->GetName()) return node->GetVolume();
char name[80]
Definition: TGX11.cxx:109
TGeoVolume * GetVolume() const
Definition: TGeoNode.h:97
virtual const char * GetName() const
Returns name of object.
Definition: TNamed.h:47
Basic string class.
