// TGDMLWrite Class                                                           //
// --------------------                                                       //
//                                                                            //
//   This class contains implementation of converting ROOT's gGeoManager      //
// geometry to GDML file. gGeoManager is the instance of TGeoManager class    //
// containing tree of geometries creating resulting geometry. GDML is xml     //
// based format of file mirroring the tree of geometries according to GDML    //
// schema rules. For more information about GDML see http://gdml.web.cern.ch. //
// Each object in ROOT is represented by xml tag (=xml node/element) in GDML. //
//                                                                            //
//   This class is not needed to be instanciated. It should always be called  //
// by gGeoManager->Export("xyz.gdml") method. Export is driven by extenstion  //
// that is why ".gdml" is important in resulting name.                        //
//                                                                            //
//   Whenever a new ROOT geometry object is implemented or there is a change  //
// in GDML schema this class is needed to be updated to ensure proper mapping //
// between ROOT objects and GDML elements.                                    //
//                                                                            //

// TGDMLWrite::ChooseObject and it contains following "map":                  //

// g - is set by default in gGeoManager, this option ensures compatibility    //
// -   with Geant4. It means:                                                 //
// -   -> atomic number of material will be changed if <1 to 1                //
// -   -> if polycone is set badly it will try to export it correctly         //
// -   -> if widht * ndiv + offset is more then width of object being divided //
// -      (in divisions) then it will be rounded so it will not exceed or     //
// -      if kPhi divsion then it will keep range of offset in -360 -> 0      //
// f - if this option is set then names of volumes and solids will have       //
// -   pointer as a suffix to ensure uniqness of names                        //
// n - if this option is set then names will not have suffix, but uniqness is //
// -   of names is not secured                                                //
// - - if none of this two options (f,n) is set then default behaviour is so  //
// -   that incremental suffix is added to the names.                         //
