## Class Description

     TGenerator

     Is an abstact base class, that defines the interface of ROOT and the
     various event generators. Every event generator should inherit from
     TGenerator or its subclasses.

     Every class inherited from TGenerator knows already the interface to
     the /HEPEVT/ common block. So in the event creation of the various
     generators, the /HEPEVT/ common block should be filled
     The ImportParticles method then parses the result from the event
     generators into a TClonesArray of TParticle objects.

TGenerator(const char *name,const char *title): TNamed(name,title)

      Event generator default constructor

~TGenerator()

      Event generator default destructor

TObjArray* ImportParticles(Option_t *option)

      Default primary creation method. It reads the /HEPEVT/ common block which
      has been filled by the GenerateEvent method. If the event generator does
      not use the HEPEVT common block, This routine has to be overloaded by
      the subclasses.
      The default action is to store only the stable particles (ISTHEP = 1)
      This can be demanded explicitly by setting the option = "Final"
      If the option = "All", all the particles are stored.

Int_t ImportParticles(TClonesArray *particles, Option_t *option)

      Default primary creation method. It reads the /HEPEVT/ common block which
      has been filled by the GenerateEvent method. If the event generator does
      not use the HEPEVT common block, This routine has to be overloaded by
      the subclasses.
      The function loops on the generated particles and store them in
      the TClonesArray pointed by the argument particles.
      The default action is to store only the stable particles (ISTHEP = 1)
      This can be demanded explicitly by setting the option = "Final"
      If the option = "All", all the particles are stored.

TParticle* GetParticle(Int_t i) const

      Returns pointer to primary number i;

void Paint(Option_t *)

      Paint one event

void SetPtCut(Float_t ptcut)

      Set Pt threshold below which primaries are not drawn

void SetViewRadius(Float_t rbox)

      Set lower and upper values of the view range

void SetViewRange(Float_t xmin, Float_t ymin, Float_t zmin, Float_t xmax, Float_t ymax, Float_t zmax)

      Set lower and upper values of the view range
