14 // //
15 // TGenerator //
16 // //
17 // Is an base class, that defines the interface of ROOT to various //
18 // event generators. Every event generator should inherit from //
19 // TGenerator or its subclasses. //
20 // //
21 // Derived class can overload the member function GenerateEvent //
22 // to do the actual event generation (e.g., call PYEVNT or similar). //
23 // //
24 // The derived class should overload the member function //
25 // ImportParticles (both types) to read the internal storage of the //
26 // generated event into either the internal TObjArray or the passed //
27 // TClonesArray of TParticles. //
28 // //
29 // If the generator code stores event data in the /HEPEVT/ common block //
30 // Then the default implementation of ImportParticles should suffice. //
31 // The common block /HEPEVT/ is structed like //
32 // //
33 // /* C */ //
34 // typedef struct { //
35 // Int_t nevhep; //
36 // Int_t nhep; //
37 // Int_t isthep[4000]; //
38 // Int_t idhep[4000]; //
39 // Int_t jmohep[4000][2]; //
40 // Int_t jdahep[4000][2]; //
41 // Double_t phep[4000][5]; //
42 // Double_t vhep[4000][4]; //
43 // } HEPEVT_DEF; //
44 // //
45 // //
46 // C Fortran //
47 // COMMON/HEPEVT/NEVHEP,NHEP,ISTHEP(4000),IDHEP(4000), //
48 // + JMOHEP(2,4000),JDAHEP(2,4000),PHEP(5,4000),VHEP(4,4000) //
49 // INTEGER NEVHEP,NHEP,ISTHEP,IDHEP,JMOHEP,JDAHEP //
50 // DOUBLE PRECISION PHEP,VHEP //
51 // //
52 // The generic member functions SetParameter and GetParameter can be //
53 // overloaded to set and get parameters of the event generator. //
54 // //
55 // Note, if the derived class interfaces a (set of) Fortran common //
56 // blocks (like TPythia, TVenus does), one better make the derived //
57 // class a singleton. That is, something like //
58 // //
59 // class MyGenerator : public TGenerator //
60 // { //
61 // public: //
62 // static MyGenerator* Instance() //
63 // { //
64 // if (!fgInstance) fgInstance = new MyGenerator; //
65 // return fgInstance; //
66 // } //
67 // void GenerateEvent() { ... } //
68 // void ImportParticles(TClonesArray* a, Option_t opt="") {...} //
69 // Int_t ImportParticles(Option_t opt="") { ... } //
70 // Int_t SetParameter(const char* name, Double_t val) { ... } //
71 // Double_t GetParameter(const char* name) { ... } //
72 // virtual ~MyGenerator() { ... } //
73 // protected: //
74 // MyGenerator() { ... } //
75 // MyGenerator(const MyGenerator& o) { ... } //
76 // MyGenerator& operator=(const MyGenerator& o) { ... } //
77 // static MyGenerator* fgInstance; //
78 // ClassDef(MyGenerator,0); //
79 // }; //
80 // //
81 // Having multiple objects accessing the same common blocks is not //
82 // safe. //
83 // //
84 // concrete TGenerator classes can be loaded in scripts and subseqent- //
85 // ly used in compiled code: //
86 // //
87 // // MyRun.h //
88 // class MyRun : public TObject //
89 // { //
90 // public: //
91 // static MyRun* Instance() { ... } //
92 // void SetGenerator(TGenerator* g) { fGenerator = g; } //
93 // void Run(Int_t n, Option_t* option="") //
94 // { //
95 // TFile* file = TFile::Open("file.root","RECREATE"); //
96 // TTree* tree = new TTree("T","T"); //
97 // TClonesArray* p = new TClonesArray("TParticles"); //
98 // tree->Branch("particles", &p); //
99 // for (Int_t event = 0; event < n; event++) { //
100 // fGenerator->GenerateEvent(); //
101 // fGenerator->ImportParticles(p,option); //
102 // tree->Fill(); //
103 // } //
104 // file->Write(); //
105 // file->Close(); //
106 // } //
107 // ... //
108 // protected: //
109 // TGenerator* fGenerator; //
110 // ClassDef(MyRun,0); //
111 // }; //
112 // //
113 // // Config.C //
114 // void Config() //
115 // { //
116 // MyRun* run = MyRun::Instance(); //
117 // run->SetGenerator(MyGenerator::Instance()); //
118 // } //
119 // //
120 // // main.cxx //
121 // int //
122 // main(int argc, char** argv) //
123 // { //
124 // TApplication app("", 0, 0); //
125 // gSystem->ProcessLine(".x Config.C"); //
126 // MyRun::Instance()->Run(10); //
127 // return 0; //
128 // } //
129 // //
130 // This is especially useful for example with TVirtualMC or similar. //
