HOWTO: Generate geometry material differential plots using StarBASE

Updated on Thu, 2010-02-11 16:18. Originally created by jwebb on 2010-02-11 16:18.
This blog entry shows how to run the starbase application to generate plots showing the changes in material between two detector geometries.
 
# Checkout and compile the StarBASE library
$ cvs co StarVMC/StarBASE
$ cons

# Create symbolic links for convenience
$ ln -s StarVMC/StarBASE/macros/starbase.py .
$ ln -s StarVMC/StarBASE/macros/differential.py .

# Get the options for the two codes
$ ./starbase.py --help
$ ./differential.py --help

# Run the code for two geometry tags which you
# are interested in comparing
$ ./starbase.py --phimin=-1.5 --phimax=+1.5 --geom=y2006
$ ./starbase.py --phimin=-1.5 --phimax=+1.5 --geom=y2006h

# Generate a comparison of the two geometries
$ ./differential --base=y2006 --geom=y2006h
$ ls *.pdf

# Examine in more details changes made to specific volumes
$ ./differential --base=y2006 --geom=y2006h --volume=SVTT
$ ./differential --base=y2006 --geom=y2006h --volume=EMSS
$ ./differential --base=y2006 --geom=y2006h --volume=CALB
# etc...
