Geant4 User's Guide For Application Developers Visualization

8.2 What Can Be Visualized?

---

In Geant4 Visualization, you can visualize simulated data such as:

• Detector components
  • A hierarchical structure of physical volumes
  • A piece of physical volume, logical volume, and solid
• Particle trajectories and tracking steps
• Hits of particles in detector components

and other user defined objects such as:

• A polyline, that is, a set of successive line segments
• A marker which marks an arbitrary 3D position
• texts, i.e., character strings for a description, a comment, or a title
• Eye guides such as coordinate axes

You can visualize all these things either with visualization commands or by calling visualizing functions in your C++ source codes.
