How can I use Geant4 to visualize the detector?
How can I make a HepRep file using Geant4?
How do I use DAWN from within Geant4?
How can I make cuts using DAWN?
What other visualization options are available outside of using Geant4?
The Geant4 OpenGL visualization driver can be used to immediately visualize the detector and events. The following command can be used to visualize the detector geometry plus hits and trajectories from the event.
