GDML Notes

GDML Python

GDML has nice Python wrappers written by Witek. It has bindings to Geant4 and ROOT. The ROOT geometry viewer is an OpenGL-based tool that has an interactive clipping system.

GDML/PyGDML/Common
            Examples
            G4Binding
            ROOTBinding        

Common contains shared utils between G4 and ROOT bindings, such as units, the writer, sax processes, and the content handler.

G4Binding is a binding to Geant4 using reflex. I couldn't get this to work, but I'll try with new Root.

ROOTBinding uses a ROOT OpenGL viewer.
