Hello!
I wonder if anyone has a way of rotating a source in GATE v.5.0? It's easy
to rotate a volume, for example a cylinder like:
/gate/phantom/placement/setRotationAxis -1 1 0
/gate/phantom/placement/setRotationAngle 30 deg
but I cannot find any equivalent for rotation of the source as well to
coincide with the tilted phantom. My source is a cylinder like:
/gate/source/twogamma/gps/type Volume
/gate/source/twogamma/gps/shape Cylinder
/gate/source/twogamma/gps/radius 10 mm
/gate/source/twogamma/gps/halfz 110 mm
/gate/source/twogamma/gps/centre 100. 100. 0. mm
and I then want to rotate this cylinder source as well. I've found on the
GATE wiki v.6.1 that you can write:
/gate/source/ [Source name] /setRotationAxis 1 0 0
/gate/source/ [Source name] /setRotationAngle 90 deg
but that doesn't seem to work in v.5.0. I haven't found anything useful in
the GEANT4 forum either...
Thanks for any input!
Ida
