Visualization¶
There are many choices with visualization drivers. Detailed tutorials are found here.

In each link, you can find more information about visualization in Geant4.
Here I explain a simple example of visualization in g4lbne v3 using HepRApp.
First, run the g4lbne by typing ‘g4lbne’ in your command terminal.
$ g4lbne
Here ‘$’ is your linux prompt.
Then, type these two commands in turn.
/LBNE/det/construct /run/initialize
Then you will get Geant4 command prompt ‘Idle>’.
Now, you are ready to input visualization commands.
Input these lines in turn.
/vis/open HepRepFile /vis/drawVolume /vis/scene/add/trajectories /vis/scene/endOfEventAction accumulate /LBNE/run/NEvents 2 /gun/particle proton /gun/energy 120 GeV /run/beamOn
Or, you can make a macro file which contains above command lines including ‘/LBNE/det/construct’ and ‘/run/initi
