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: // - 10.03.97 John Apostolakis, design and implementation. // - Augsut 05 T.K.Paraïso add magcomponent l.138 // ------------------------------------------------------------------- #ifndef G4FIELDMANAGER_HH #define G4FIELDMANAGER_HH 1 #include "globals.hh" class G4Field; class G4MagneticField; class G4ElectricField; 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.
