Having trouble when trying to run advanced examples in interactive and visualization mode

RuixuanTian · November 14, 2023, 3:29am

Geant4 Version: 11.1.2
Operating System: Mac OS 13.5.2 (22G91) with M2 Pro chip
Compiler/Version: Sry but I dont know
CMake Version: 3.27.6

I am a beginer to Geant4 and I have been learning it with some examples. I installed Geant4 on my Macbook Pro (M2 pro chip) from source code. I can run all the basic examples smoothly in an interactive mode and with Qt5 as the visualization program. However, when I tried to run some advanced examples (i.e. air shower, eRosita) , I have trouble with starting the program interactively. The qt5 window does not show and an error report occur. Below I list the error report when I try to run eRosita interactively and some information about my Geant4 installation.

and here is the last few sentences in my terminal when this problem occured:

G4VisManager: Using G4TrajectoryDrawByCharge as fallback trajectory model.
See commands in /vis/modeling/trajectories/ for other options.
### Run 0 starts.

zsh: trace trap  ./eRosita

RuixuanTian · November 14, 2023, 3:34am

Before I install Geant4, I use Homebrew to install cmake, clhep and qt5 on my computer. After I set some environment variables for qt5 in the .zshrc profile, I compile Geant4 from source code with the following cmake command:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/geant4-v11.1.2/install - DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON -DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON - DGEANT4_INSTALL_PACKAGE_CACHE=OFF ~/geant4-v11.1.2/source

Hope these information can help you with my problem. Thx!

Hi Ruixuan,

Do you still have the same problem if you run the eRosita example in batch mode instead of interactive mode?

./eRosita eRosita.in

Thanks,
James

RuixuanTian · November 14, 2023, 6:10am

Hi jamesv,

Running this example in batch mode seems OK，here is what the terminal shows after I run ./eRosita eRosita.in

Hi Ruixuan

I see the behaviour you report. There is something strange about eRosita, and I will look into it. Meanwhile, try /vis/open TSG - should work with 11.1.2. You don’t get all features of OGL but it’s pretty close. In particular, it does not switch threads (which is where the problem seems to be); instead it displays kept events (the vis manger keeps events for later review, limited to 100 by default, so if you run more than 100, you still only see 100, but that’s usually enough for debugging).

Hi John

I do as you told. After changing the /vis/open OGL to /vis/open TSG in vis.mac, I can now run eRosita visualization with the TOOLSSG_QT_GLES.

I notice that when I try to use /vis/open OGL in the vis.mac (to run other examples such as B1), the visualization window is ‘OpenGLStoredQt’ ( as fig1 shows); if I use /vis/open TSG in the vis.mac, the visualizaiton window is ‘TOOLSSG_QT_GLES’ (as fig2 shows). I am a little confused about the relation between OpenGL, TSG and Qt: Are OGL and TSG all visualization drivers and they can substitute each other? Is Qt some sort of backend for OGL and TSG?

Also，I find that if I use TSG, I can not move the object in the visualization window – I can just rotate them. But is I use OGL, I can either move or rotate the objects. Is this a bug or just a different feature of OGL and TSG?

In addtion, this problem – the OGL visualization problem – is not limited to eRosita. Some other examples, like the air_shower, the xray_telescope, have the same problem. But all basic examples and some advanced examples (e.g. human_phantom) are good.

As for the last thing you mentioned, do you mean the circumstance I show in fig3 when I run example B1 for 500 events? If so, it does not bother me so far：）

Sry for my stupid questions and thanks a lot for your help!

allison · November 15, 2023, 11:45am

OK. Great. I have not been able to figure out why eRosita crashes when switching to the vis sub-thread, but here’s another solution. If you are just debugging, it’s probably sufficiently performant using serial mode. Works fine with OGL. I did this by defining environment variable G4RUN_MANAGER_TYPE to Serial:

export G4RUN_MANAGER_TYPE=Serial

or with a C-type shell:

setenv G4RUN_MANAGER_TYPE Serial

See How to Define the main() Program — Book For Application Developers 11.2 documentation

Anyway, as you have discovered, batch running works fine. Even in interactive mode you can /vis/disable and run as many events as you want in multithreading.

Yes. See start for list of registered drivers. They are interchangeable - to a first approximation. Some write to file for off-line browsing.

Qt is a cross-platform GUI (Graphical User Interface) system which allows us to design windows, handles mouse clicks, etc., and accepts various graphical drawing systems, including OpenGL, Vtk, and Qt3D (it’s own drawing system). Try some of those drivers.

Just a difference - TSG is not (yet) as richly featured as the very mature OGL.

OK, great. But Serial will get this feature back for you, with both OGL and TSG.

RuixuanTian · November 16, 2023, 2:06am

Thx John！

After setting export G4RUN_MANAGER_TYPE=Serial in the terminal to set the running mode to serial, the visualization of all examples with OGL is all good.

Thx again for helping me solve the problem and I hope you can succeed finding out the bug in eRosita.
