History

changes since v1r3

• 'orthogonal' viewing mode (ie without perspective) was added
• 3 extra windows where added that show the detector from top, north and west.
• hit color coding was changed and a legend was added
• animation-interface has been improved
• sphere's, triggers where added as well as support for multiple reconstructed tracks.
• event files are not scanned completely when opening anymore (as this caused long delays).
• added the possibility to produce animated .gif files (using an external program: gifsicle).
• detectors can be loaded also when they lack some elements (such as slow-control devices).
• the environment variable ANT_A3D_RESDIR does not have to be set anymore.

changes since v1r2

• Deformed detectors can now be displayed: lines are now drawn going through
• the om-cluster positions.
• 'Display lists' are now used... should be a little bit faster
• Some more decent error messages.
• Lighting is possible (in a limited way).
• OMs can also be drawn as spheres. (for generating fancy pictures).
• animation mode added (for the ones with fast computers).
• ini file cleaned, structured and commented.
• code (re)organised a bit.

changes since version v1r1

• the ANTCC library is now used, therefore
• The new detector format (.det files) is now supported. The older .detector format from version v1r1 can no longer be read.
• three new items can now: transponders, tiltmeters and hydrophones. (they cannot be selected yet).
• the detector-tree has been changed a bit: each string now has 'directories' for oms, hydrophones and tiltmeters and a line. selected objects are highlighted in the graphics window (ie drawn in another color).
• photons can now be constrained to the tracks (not tested)
• hit-size is computed by the following formula size = hit_size * npe^hit_size_power, where hit_size and hit_size_power can be set in the preferences-file.
