Detailed Description

IO_GenEvent also deals with HeavyIon and PdfInfo.

event input/output in ascii format for machine reading extended format contains HeavyIon and PdfInfo classes

Strategy for reading or writing events using iostreams When instantiating with a file name, the mode of file to be created must be specified. Options are: std::ios::in open file for input std::ios::out open file for output std::ios::trunc erase old file when opening (i.e. ios::out|ios::trunc removes oldfile, and creates a new one for output ) std::ios::app append output to end of file for the purposes of this class, simultaneous input and output mode ( std::ios::in | std::ios::out ) is not allowed.

Event listings are preceded by the key: "HepMC::IO_GenEvent-START_EVENT_LISTING\n" and terminated by the key: "HepMC::IO_GenEvent-END_EVENT_LISTING\n" GenParticle Data tables are preceded by the key: "HepMC::IO_GenEvent-START_PARTICLE_DATA\n" and terminated by the key: "HepMC::IO_GenEvent-END_PARTICLE_DATA\n" Comments are allowed. They need not be preceded by anything, though if a comment is written using write_comment( const string ) then it will be preceded by "HepMC::IO_GenEvent-COMMENT\n" Each event, vertex, particle, particle data, heavy ion, or pdf info line is preceded by "E ","V ","P ","D ","H ","F " respectively. Comments may appear anywhere in the file – so long as they do not contain any of the start/stop keys.

void HepMC::IO_GenEvent::precision ( int size )

set output precision The default precision is 16.

Definition at line 96 of file IO_GenEvent.cc.

void HepMC::IO_GenEvent::use_input_units	(	Units::MomentumUnit	mom,
		Units::LengthUnit	len
	)

needed when reading a file without units if those units are different than the declared default units (e.g., the default units are MeV, but the file was written with GeV) This method is not necessary if the units are written in the file

Definition at line 79 of file IO_GenEvent.cc.

References HepMC::set_input_units().

void HepMC::IO_GenEvent::write_comment ( const std::string comment )

insert a comment directly into the output file — normally you only want to do this at the beginning or end of the file. All comments are preceded with "HepMC::IO_GenEvent-COMMENT\n"

Definition at line 162 of file IO_GenEvent.cc.

References HepMC::write_HepMC_IO_block_end().

void HepMC::IO_GenEvent::write_event ( const GenEvent * evt )

virtual

write this event

Writes evt to output stream. It does NOT delete the event after writing.

Implements HepMC::IO_BaseClass.
