| + | In macro '''proton.mac''' uncomment the line '''/control/execute visualisation.mac'''. This will run macro '''visualisation.mac''' with a specific visualisation setup. | ||
| + | The lines '''/score/drawProjection waterMeshlongitudinal doseDeposit''' and '''/score/drawProjection waterMeshlateral doseDeposit''' you will draw the dose projections in longitudinal and lateral directions. | ||
| + | To run the visualisation, first uncomment lines '''/control/execute visualisation.mac''' and '''/score/drawProjection waterMeshlongitudinal doseDeposit'''. Then, run the proton.mac | ||
| + | |||

| + | In addition to the text files the code will create two .prim files, '''g4_00.prim''' and '''g4_01.prim'''. The first file, '''g4_00.prim''', contains detector geometry and particle interactions: | ||

| + | The second file, '''g4_01.prim''' contains dose projections in longitudinal direction: | ||

| + | |||
| + | Now, in proton.mac macro uncomment '''/score/drawProjection waterMeshlateral doseDeposit''' and comment '''/score/drawProjection waterMeshlongitudinal doseDeposit'''. Run '''proton.mac''' with the new settings. The image with the lateral dose projections will look like that: | ||
