What can be visualized?
• Simulation data: - geometrical components, detector, simulation set-up - particle trajectories and their tracking steps - hits of particles in the geometry or - quantities like energy deposit, dose, etc.
• User defined objects (not directly related to the simulation itself): - polylines (connected lines as an object): e.g. coordinate axes - 3D markers: e.g. eye guides - text:
descriptive character strings (e.g. some dynamic properties during tracking) comments or titles
• Geant4 visualization documentation: Visualization Documentation

Type of visualization drivers

A variety of choices depending on the requirements:
Comput. Phys. Comm. 178 (2008) 331-365

Type of visualization drivers

• From controlling point of view: - some visualization drivers work directly from Geant4:
OpenGL, OpenInventor, RayTracer, ASCIITree - for other visualization drivers, a (special) file must be first
produced by Geant4 then this file will be rendered by another application:
HepRep, DAWN, VRML, gMocren • The Geant4 code stays basically the same independently from the
choice of the driver • Visualization is performed either with commands or from C++
code for the present tutorial, we confine ourselves to command-driven visualization (both in interactive and batch modes)

• Availability of drives: - six of the visualization drivers are always included by default
(since they require no external libraries): RayTracer, ASCIITree, HepRep, DAWN, VRML, gMocren
- other visualization drives (e.g. OpenGL, OpenInventor) will be included only if they were explicitly required during the Geant4 build (through cmake using the appropriate cmake option): -DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11=ON OpenGL visualization driver with X11 window -DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON Qt GUI with OpenGL visualization driver in all cases some headers and libraries (X11, Qt, OpenGL or MesaGL) need to be available on the system on your virtual machine, Geant4 is available with Qt GUI and OpenGL support

Qt GUI with OpenGL driver
13
Qt GUI with OpenGL visualization driver:
Qt + OpenGL
• recent developments focused on this combination
• documentation is available at Qt+OpenGL
• Geant4 OpenGL tutorial with commands here
• to visualize the geometry: /vis/open OGL /vis/drawVolume
• most of the Geant4 examples comes with a visualization macro (vis.mac)
• let’s see ours (in example B1) so start the Hands-On
