Detailed Description

Manages the extraction of LArSoft geometry information from ROOT.

The general interface only provides abstraction for the high level objects (cryostats and auxiliary detectors). The implementations can use a finer internal structure to address single subcomponents (e.g. wire planes).

Builder objects can be configured via FHiCL parameters.

This is an abstract interface.

Customization of geometry objects

The builders return collections of LArSoft geometry objects dynamically allocated. In this way, in future it will be possible to easily customize those objects for detector-specific needs. Note that as of LArSoft v08_06_00, no polymorphism is actually implemented.

Virtual destructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual AuxDets_t geo::GeometryBuilder::doExtractAuxiliaryDetectors ( Path_t &  path )

protectedpure virtual

Custom implementation of extractAuxiliaryDetectors().

Implemented in geo::GeometryBuilderStandard.

virtual Cryostats_t geo::GeometryBuilder::doExtractCryostats ( Path_t &  path )

protectedpure virtual

Custom implementation of extractCryostats().

Implemented in geo::GeometryBuilderStandard.

AuxDets_t geo::GeometryBuilder::extractAuxiliaryDetectors ( Path_t const &  path )

inline

Looks for all auxiliary detectors under the specified path.

Parameters

path	path pointing to the starting node

Returns

a list of fully constructed auxiliary detectors

The auxiliary detectors contain all their inner elements. The current node itself of the path is also considered as auxiliary detector candidate, then it is descended into.

Definition at line 113 of file GeometryBuilder.h.

      { auto myPath = path; return doExtractAuxiliaryDetectors(myPath); }

Cryostats_t geo::GeometryBuilder::extractCryostats ( Path_t const &  path )

inline

Looks for all cryostats under the specified path.

Parameters

path	path pointing to the starting node

Returns

a list of fully constructed cryostats

The cryostats contain all their inner elements. The current node itself of the path is also considered as cryostat candidate, then it is descended into.

Definition at line 90 of file GeometryBuilder.h.

      { auto myPath = path; return doExtractCryostats(myPath); }
