Re: [ROOT] TGeo and coordinate system

Hi Ahmet,

Sorry for no answer, I have been in holidays. The answer to your 
question is :
- yes, but only if R is positioned inside O (which is probably not 
exactly what you want). The idea is that you always position objects 
with respect to the coordinate system of their container, e.g:
    container->AddNode(R, cpyNo, mat);
where: mat is the matrix defining the position of R with respect to 
'container'.

Regards,
Andrei
