Appendix D: GEANT4 and WIRED 4

From GEANT4[8] you can produce HepRep1 or HepRep2 XML files. The standard GEANT4 distribution comes with a visualization driver for HepReps.

To select the HepRep2 driver you need to issue the following commands from the GEANT4 command line:

/vis/scene/create filename.heprep.zip
/vis/open HepRepXML

This will open a file with name filename.heprep.zip and put multiple events in it. To store events (and geometry) in this file, you should issue a run command:

/run/beamOn 20

which will write 20 events and geometry.

To only write a geometry:

/vis/viewer/flush

More information on the HepRep drivers can be found in the README in the src/visualization/HepRep directory of the Geant4 distribution.
