This is most probably a dumb question to ask, but I seem not to be able to get it right.
I have a gdml file which I load into my Geant4 program. It’s loaded with no colour schemes, and for that I’m creating a macro assigning the colors for each of the volumes with “/vis/geometry/set/colour”. The thing is, I have colours as RGB vectors, e.g., 0.6038273572921753 0.6038273572921753 0.6038273572921753, for each of the volumes. But I see from “/vis/geometry/set/colour” command that it takes firstly a depth parameter (which I’m setting to zero), then a Red component, and then integers for green and blue? I’m somewhat confused on how to use a float/double red component followed by integers that represent green and blue? I’d expect to use either a vector as I presented, or vectors using the 255 scale.
I’m sure that this is a very simple question, but I’m hammering my head on this little thing. I’d appreciate if anyone has an answer to this one.
Yes, sorry to confuse. The colour argument in question is “red or string”. (The command guidance explains quite well - have you looked at it?
) So you can type “0 1 0“ or “green”, say. Does that help?
The first argument is depth of propagation into the geometry hierarchy. 0 is appropriate if you don’t want to propagate the colour down the tree.
Thanks a lot for your fast response. I understand your explanation, but still don’t get how would I add different combinations of the rgb. I get how one adds the three integers for simple colours, but how would it work for a case like 0.603 0.200 0.450 for example? I’m looking for the exact colours as those from a CAD file. I can do such combination by coding with SetVisAttributes->G4Colour(redValue, greenValue, blueValue). I’d expect to be able to do something similar via gui.
