class TGeoChecker: public TObject

   TGeoChecker - Geometry checking package.


 TGeoChecker class provides several geometry checking methods. There are two
 types of tests that can be performed. One is based on random sampling or
 ray-tracing and provides a visual check on how navigation methods work for
 a given geometry. The second actually checks the validity of the geometry
 definition in terms of overlapping/extruding objects. Both types of checks
 can be done for a given branch (starting with a given volume) as well as for
 the geometry as a whole.

 1. TGeoChecker::CheckPoint(Double_t x, Double_t y, Double_t z)

 This method can be called direcly from the TGeoManager class and print a
 report on how a given point is classified by the modeller: which is the
 full path to the deepest node containing it, and the (under)estimation
 of the distance to the closest boundary (safety).

 2. TGeoChecker::RandomPoints(Int_t npoints)

 Can be called from TGeoVolume class. It first draws the volume and its
 content with the current visualization settings. Then randomly samples points
 in its bounding box, plotting in the geometry display only the points
 classified as belonging to visible volumes.

 3. TGeoChecker::RandomRays(Int_t nrays, Double_t startx, starty, startz)

 Can be called and acts in the same way as the previous, but instead of points,
 rays having random isotropic directions are generated from the given point.
 A raytracing algorithm propagates all rays untill they exit geometry, plotting
 all segments crossing visible nodes in the same color as these.

 4. TGeoChecker::Test(Int_t npoints)

 Implementation of TGeoManager::Test(). Computes the time for the modeller
 to find out "Where am I?" for a given number of random points.

 5. TGeoChecker::LegoPlot(ntheta, themin, themax, nphi, phimin, phimax,...)

 Implementation of TGeoVolume::LegoPlot(). Draws a spherical radiation length
 lego plot for a given volume, in a given theta/phi range.

 6. TGeoChecker::Weigth(Double_t precision)

 Implementation of TGeoVolume::Weigth(). Estimates the total weigth of a given
 volume by matrial sampling. Accepts as input the desired precision.

TGeoChecker(TGeoManager* geom)
 Constructor for a given geometry

void OpProgress(const char* opname, Long64_t current, Long64_t size, TStopwatch* watch = 0, Bool_t last = kFALSE, Bool_t refresh = kFALSE)
 Print current operation progress.
void CheckBoundaryErrors(Int_t ntracks = 1000000, Double_t radius = -1.)

 position given by FindNextBoundary. If radius is not mentioned the full bounding
 box will be sampled.
void CheckBoundaryReference(Int_t icheck = -1)
 Check the boundary errors reference file created by CheckBoundaryErrors method.
 The shape for which the crossing failed is drawn with the starting point in red
 and the extrapolated point to boundary (+/- failing push/pull) in yellow.
void CheckGeometryFull(Bool_t checkoverlaps = kTRUE, Bool_t checkcrossings = kTRUE, Int_t nrays = 10000, const Double_t* vertex = NULL)
 Geometry checking. Opional overlap checkings (by sampling and by mesh). Optional
 boundary crossing check + timing per volume.

 STAGE 1: extensive overlap checking by sampling per volume. Stdout need to be
  checked by user to get report, then TGeoVolume::CheckOverlaps(0.01, "s") can
  be called for the suspicious volumes.
 STAGE2 : normal overlap checking using the shapes mesh - fills the list of
  overlaps.
 STAGE3 : shooting NRAYS rays from VERTEX and counting the total number of
  crossings per volume (rays propagated from boundary to boundary until
  geometry exit). Timing computed and results stored in a histo.
 STAGE4 : shooting 1 mil. random rays inside EACH volume and calling
  FindNextBoundary() + Safety() for each call. The timing is normalized by the
  number of crossings computed at stage 2 and presented as percentage.
  One can get a picture on which are the most "burned" volumes during
  transportation from geometry point of view. Another plot of the timing per
  volume vs. number of daughters is produced.
 All histos are saved in the file statistics.root
