[Gate-users] Unable to Complete Test Simulation

[Leo Read]

Hi Amy,

Like you, Here are the commands I have in my visualization macro. They seem
to show tracks and hits although I have not fully figured out what all the
different colours mean (for example, green seems to be gammas, blue are the
positrons but I don't know what the red tracks are). Hope it helps. If you
do happen to figure out the various colours please post back.

Best wishes,
Leo
