How to create pictures shown here ? The recipy:

  • choose GGeometry.xml example
  • choose JiveXML_....xml example
  • switch everything off
  • Atlas detector
    • select everything from GGeometry, except BarrelMuonDetector and BarrelCalorimeter
      (they are too big so that they would just hide everything else)
