TGeoVolume - class containing the full description of a geometrical object.
A volume is a geometrical container possibly including other objects inside.
The volume does not store any information about his own position/transformation
nor any link to the upper level in the geometry tree. Therefore, the same
volume can be referenced several times in the geometry.
Positioned volumes are called nodes (see class TGeoNode) and can be placed
only inside other volume. In order to define a correct geometry, nodes should
not extend beyond the boundaries of their mother volume and must not overlap
between each other. These conditions can become critical when tracking a
geometry, so the package is provided with a simple but efficient checking
tool (class TGeoChecker). Note that the nodes representing the daughters of
a volume does NOT overlap with their mother - any point belonging to the
daughter will automatically NOT belong to the mother any more. The geometry
tree built in this fashion is a CSG tree with constraints.
/*

A volume is referencing a shape and a material. These have to built BEFORE the
volume itself - see TGeoMaterial::TGeoMaterial() , TGeoShape::TGeoShape() .
Volumes must have unique names and any positioned volume (node) will append a
copy number to the volume's name. For instance if a volume named PAD is
referenced in several nodes, their names will become : PAD_1, PAD_2, ...
A volume can be created with the sequence :
TGeoSphere *sph = new TGeoSphere("sph1", 10.0, 11.0);
TGeoMaterial *mat = gGeoManager->GetMaterial("lead");
TGeoVolume *vol = new TGeoVolume("shield", sph, mat);
The volume is registering itself to the current TGeoManager and can be
retrieved at any time with :
TGeoVolume *vol = gGeoManager->GetVolume("shield");
Deletion of volumes is also handled by TGeoManager class.
Positioning of other geometry nodes inside a volume is done by :
TGeoVolume::AddNode() method. The node to be placed does not have to
be created before :
TGeoVolume *vol_in = ...;
TGeoTranslation *tr = new TGeoTranslation(x, y, z);
TGeoNodeMatrix *node = vol->AddNodeMatrix (vol_in, tr, copy_number);
A volume can be divided according a pattern. The most simple division can
be done along an axis, in cartesian, cylindrical or spherical coordinates.
For each division type there are corresponding TGeoVolume::AddNodeOffset() and
TGeoVolume::Divide() methods. The option argument passed tothese methods can
be :
X, Y, Z - for cartesian axis divisions;
CylR, CylPhi - for cylindrical divisions;
SphR, SphPhi, SphTheta - for spherical divisions;
honeycomb - for honeycomb structures
For instance, dividing a volume in N segments along X axis, starting from Xmin
up to Xmax can be done with :
TGeoVolume::Divide(N, Xmin, Xmax, "X");
The GEANT3 option MANY is supported by TGeoVolumeOverlap class. An overlapping
volume is in fact a virtual container that does not represent a physical object.
It contains a list of nodes that are not his daughters but that must be checked
always before the container itself. This list must be defined by users and it
is checked and resolved in a priority order. Note that the feature is non-standard
to geometrical modelers and it was introduced just to support conversions of
GEANT3 geometries, therefore its extensive usage should be avoided.
The following picture represent how a simple geometry tree is built in
memory.
