LCEve - Linear Collider Event Display

LCEve is an event display based on the experimental ROOT Eve7 component using web browser for the client vizualisation.

Note that this software is experimental and developed against the ROOT master branch at the time being

Requirements

• A decent compiler with c++14 available (gcc >= 5.4)
• CMake >= 3.14
• LCIO: a special branch is needed in this context. Use the HEAD version of the github repo rete/LCIO, branch sio-external
• ROOT: master branch. Must have been compiled with root7=ON and webgui=ON
• DD4hep: I use the master branch for the development. You can probably use the latest version. I don't require any specific feature.

Compilation

source /path/to/dd4hep/bin/thisdd4hep.sh
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DLCIO_DIR=/path/to/lcio ..
make install -j42

Running the event display

The standard help switch is your friend:

# to get the help
./bin/LCEve --help

As of today:

# Just with the geometry
./bin/LCEve -c /path/to/your/compactfile.xml
# Geometry and LCIO events
./bin/LCEve -c /path/to/your/compactfile.xml -f /path/to/your/lciofile.slcio

More options will be added later on. Again, the help switch is your friend.

Have fun ! :-)
