In this manner // a zero or constant field can override a global field, a more or // less exact version can override the external approximation, lower // or higher precision for tracking can be specified, a different // stepper can be chosen for different volumes, ... // // It also stores a pointer to the ChordFinder object that can do the // propagation in this field. All geometrical track "advancement" // in the field is handled by this ChordFinder object. // // G4FieldManager allows the other classes/object (of the MagneticField // & other class categories) to find out whether a detector field object // exists and what that object is. // // The Chord Finder must be created either by calling CreateChordFinder // for a Magnetic Field or by the user creating a a Chord Finder object // "manually" and setting this pointer. // // A default FieldManager is created by the singleton class // G4NavigatorForTracking and exists before main is called. // However a new one can be created and given to G4NavigatorForTracking. // // Our current design envisions that one Field manager is // valid for each region detector. // History: // - 05.11.03 John Apostolakis, Added Min/MaximumEpsilonStep // - 20.06.03 John Apostolakis, Abstract & ability to ConfigureForTrack // - 10.03.97 John Apostolakis, design and implementation. // ------------------------------------------------------------------- #ifndef G4FIELDMANAGER_HH #define G4FIELDMANAGER_HH 1 #include "globals.hh" class G4Field; class G4MagneticField; class G4ChordFinder; class G4Track; // Forward reference for parameter configuration class G4FieldManager { public: // with description G4FieldManager(G4Field *detectorField=0, G4ChordFinder *pChordFinder=0, G4bool b=true ); // fieldChangesEnergy is taken from field // General constructor for any field. // -> Must be set with field and chordfinder for use.
