Running GeomConverter
The SLIC simulator package uses a low-level XML data format while the reconstruction uses a smaller, more targetted format called the "compact description". Using a compact geometry in the simulator requires converting it to LCDD.
- Follow the instructions in Building+org.lcsim+software to build the GeomConverter package.
- Run the application which will display a simple GUI for running the application.
Building a distribution
- Go to the GeomConverter directory and build a distribution.
- Unzip the distribution one directory below the current one. (This example has a hardcoded version number.)

cd ..
tar -zxvf GeomConverter/target/GeomConverter-0.3.tar.gz
|
- Run the compact to LCDD converter.

The output LCDD file can be used as input to SLIC, which might look like this. No Format |

If no output file is specified the GUI will be displayed. If no format is given the format will be guessed based on the output file.
