This file is foreseen for the Geometry module to replace Extent

namespace Experimental
class VolumeStructureBuilder : public Acts::Experimental::IExternalStructureBuilder
#include <Acts/Detector/VolumeStructureBuilder.hpp>

This class provides the external detector volume structure, configured either from:

  • a volume extent

  • from an array with volume bounds identification

Note

A starting transform (defaulted to identity) can be provided, in case of volume bounds construction from an Acts::Extent object, the transform steming from the extent definition will be applied on top of the provided starting transform. In case of volume bounds construction from an array of values, the starting transform is already the final volume placement.

Public Functions

VolumeStructureBuilder(const Config &cfg, std::unique_ptr<const Logger> mlogger = getDefaultLogger("VolumeStructureBuilder", Logging::INFO))

Constructor.

Parameters

  • cfg – is the configuration struct

  • mlogger – logging instance for screen output

virtual ExternalStructure construct(const GeometryContext &gctx) const final

The interface definition for internal structure creation.

Parameters

gctx – the geometry context at the creation of the internal structure

Returns

a consistent set of detector volume internals

Private Functions

inline const Logger &logger() const

Private access method to the logger.
