Test Beam Meeting Aug 6, 2003


All methods relating to the proximity of cell to something have been renamed so that their are all called 'neighbors':

multimap< double, int >  hec_neighbors (TVector3 point)
  Return a STL multimap which has as the key a double which is the distance to the nearest neighbors in the Hec.

multimap< double, int >  hec_neighbors (TVector3 point, int layer)
  Return a STL multimap which has as the key a double which is the distance to the nearest neighbors in the hec for a particular layer.

multimap< double, int >  hec_neighbors (vector< float > lineParameters)
  Return a STL multimap which has as the key a double which is the shortest distance to the line given by the input line parameterization from the median of the cell.

multimap< double, int >  hec_neighbors (vector< float > lineParameters, int layer)
  Return a STL multimap which has as the key a double which is the shortest distance to the line given by the input line parameterization from the median of the cell.

vector< int >  hec_neighbors (int febno)
  Produce a vector of feb numbers which is a list of cells which are in direct contact with the cell passed to the function on a per layer basis.

vector< int >  hec_neighbors (int febno, int layer)
  Produce a vector of feb numbers which is a list of cells which are in direct contact with the cell passed to the function on a per layer basis.


Michel has also added to the list of command line options that are available:

   -h hecNtupleFile1 hecNtupleFile2 etc.
   -h hecNtupleFile1 -h hecNtupleFile2 etc.
   -e emecNtupleFile1 emecNtupleFile2 etc.
   -e emecNtupleFile1 -e emecNtupleFile2 etc.
   -a hecGeoFileName otherStuffIgnored
      default file name used if unspecified
   -b emecGeoFileName otherStuffIgnored
      default file name used if unspecified
   -g globalGeoFileName otherStuffIgnored
      default file name used if unspecified
   -H file otherStuffIgnored
      if file contains the following lines
      hecNtupleFile1
      hecNtupleFile2
      then -H file is equivalent to -h hecNtupleFile1 hecNtupleFile2
   -E file otherStuffIgnored
      if file contains the following lines
      emecNtupleFile1
      emecNtupleFile2
      then -E file is equivalent to -e emecNtupleFile1 emecNtupleFile2
 
   All options except -h and -e only consider the first argument.
   For example,
   -H file junk junk stuff
   is equivalent to
   -H file
