 29 /// \brief { Class description:
 30 ///
 31 /// G4ITNavigator1 is a duplicate version of G4Navigator started from Geant4.9.5
 32 /// initially written by Paul Kent and colleagues.
 33 /// The only difference resides in the way the information is saved and managed
 34 ///
 35 /// A class for use by the tracking management, able to obtain/calculate
 36 /// dynamic tracking time information such as the distance to the next volume,
 37 /// or to find the physical volume containing a given point in the world
 38 /// reference system. The navigator maintains a transformation history and
 39 /// other information to optimise the tracking time performance.}
 40 //
 41 // Contact : Mathieu Karamitros (kara (AT) cenbg . in2p3 . fr)
 42 //
 43 // WARNING : This class is released as a prototype.
 44 // It might strongly evolve or even disapear in the next releases.
 45 //
 46 // We would be very happy hearing from you, send us your feedback! :)

 48 // History:
 49 // - Created.                                  Paul Kent,     Jul 95/96
 50 // - Zero step protections                     J.A. / G.C.,   Nov  2004
 51 // - Added check mode                          G. Cosmo,      Mar  2004
 52 // - Made Navigator Abstract                   G. Cosmo,      Nov  2003

524 // NOTES:
525 //
526 // The following methods provide detailed information when a Step has
527 // arrived at a geometrical boundary.  They distinguish between the different
528 // causes that can result in the track leaving its current volume.
529 //
530 // Four cases are possible:
531 //
532 // 1) The particle has reached a boundary of a daughter of the current volume:
533 //     (this could cause the relocation to enter the daughter itself
534 //     or a potential granddaughter or further descendant)
535 //     
536 // 2) The particle has reached a boundary of the current
537 //     volume, exiting into a mother (regardless the level
538 //     at which it is located in the tree):
539 //
540 // 3) The particle has reached a boundary of the current
541 //     volume, exiting into a volume which is not in its
542 //     parental hierarchy:
543 //
544 // 4) The particle is not on a boundary between volumes:
545 //     the function returns an exception, and the caller is
546 //     reccomended to compare the G4touchables associated
547 //     to the preStepPoint and postStepPoint to handle this case.
548 //
549 //   G4bool        EnteredDaughterVolume()
550 //   G4bool        IsExitNormalValid()
551 //   G4ThreeVector GetLocalExitNormal()
552 //
553 // The expected usefulness of these methods is to allow the caller to
554 // determine how to compute the surface normal at the volume boundary. The two
555 // possibilities are to obtain the normal from:
556 //
557 //   i) the solid associated with the volume of the initial point of the Step.
558 //      This is valid for cases 2 and 3.  
559 //      (Note that the initial point is generally the PreStepPoint of a Step).
560 //   or
561 // 
562 //  ii) the solid of the final point, ie of the volume after the relocation.
563 //      This is valid for case 1.
564 //      (Note that the final point is generally the PreStepPoint of a Step).
565 //
566 // This way the caller can always get a valid normal, pointing outside
567 // the solid for which it is computed, that can be used at his own
568 // discretion.
