A HOWTO based on my example is too much, I think.
Unless you really want to write down all your experience with gluing
Geant4 and ROOT (would be welcome).
What I do not like in the G4UIRoot approach is that I have to create a
geant4-root executable each time I want to make any change in user's
classes. I would very much appreciate to get the TGeantX classes from
AliSoft working (I mean "extract" them from there).
This would give me the possibility to use the "standard" root executable,
load dynamically XGeantX shared libraries, load user's code using ACLiC
and run the simulation. Each time one makes any change in the user's code,
one just needs to use ACLiC to "reload" the library.
I would very much appreciate "novice" examples on how to use these classes.
Note that my example with TF1 objects was just the most stupid one I could
think of in a couple of seconds. If you look into the exampleN01.cc you
can see that the constructor of the ExN01DetectorConstruction class is the
first user's function that is executed ("new ExN01DetectorConstruction").
So I just wanted to demonstrate that the ROOT environment is available
from the beginning (long before "new G4UIRoot(argc,argv)"). In fact you do
not even need to create "new session G4UIRoot". It is not needed (but
maybe useful for you).
A small warning : the current G4UIRoot does not provide "AddMenu" and
"AddButton". Then you get several warnings from Geant4 while running
exampleN03. This does not make any harm, however (the new "menu" is simply
not created). Don't be scared. The author of this suite is aware of this
and possibly will implement these functions.
Best regards,
Jacek.
