>> 115 By default the histograms are not activated. To activate histograms
>> 116 the environment variable G4ANALYSIS_USE should be defined. For instance
>> 117 uncomment the flag G4ANALYSIS_USE in GNUmakefile.
>> 118
>> 119 Before compilation of the example it is optimal to clean up old files:
>> 120 gmake histclean
>> 121 gmake
>> 122
>> 123 To use histograms, at least one of the AIDA implementations should be
>> 124 available (see http://aida.freehep.org).

>> 126 8a - PI
>> 127
>> 128 A package including AIDA and extended interfaces also using Python is PI,
>> 129 available from: http://cern.ch/pi
>> 130
>> 131 Once installed PI or PI-Lite in a specified local area $MYPY, it is required
>> 132 to add the installation path to $PATH, i.e. for example, for release 1.2.1 of
>> 133 PI:
>> 134 setenv PATH ${PATH}:$MYPI/1.2.1/app/releases/PI/PI_1_2_1/rh73_gcc32/bin
>> 135
>> 136 CERN users can use the PATH to the LCG area on AFS.
>> 137 Before running the example the command should be issued:
>> 138 eval `aida-config --runtime csh`

>> 140 8b - OpenScientist
>> 141
>> 142 OpenScientist is available at http://OpenScientist.lal.in2p3.fr.
>> 143
>> 144 You have to "setup" the OpenScientist AIDA implementation before compiling
>> 145 (then with G4ANALYSIS_USE set) and running your Geant4 application.
>> 146
>> 147 On UNIX you setup, with a csh flavoured shell :
>> 148 csh> source <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.csh
>> 149 or with a sh flavoured shell :
>> 150 sh> . <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.sh
>> 151 On Windows :
>> 152 DOS> call <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.bat
>> 153
>> 154 You can use various file formats for writing (AIDA-XML, hbook, root).
>> 155 These formats are readable by the Lab onx interactive program
>> 156 or the OpenPAW application. See the web pages.
>> 157
>> 158
>> 159 With OpenPAW, on a run.hbook file, one can view the histograms
>> 160 with something like :
