[Gate-users] Creating New Gate Actors

[Ignacio Romero]

Hi David,

Thank you for your response. Yes I am new to c++ programming. I am currently trying to improve on that.

I attempted to replicate the same setup from GateTrackLengthActor since the docs refers to it as an example. I am trying to save the local flight time of photons, pixel ID of detector and run ID (I know the standard root output has this information but I would like to save the storage). As a first attempt for a new actor, I only tried saving the track local time but when I try running make I get the error “‘const class G4VHit’ has no member named ‘GetTrackLocalTime’”.

This may be simple fix once I familiarize myself more with c++ and the G4 library. Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you for your time.

Hello Ignacio,

We are eager to improve the docs! Unfortunately, from you mail it's not so clear to me in what way the gate actor development page is incomplete for you.
What kind of trouble do you have? Are you new to C++ programming or do you already have some experience? What have you tried so far, and what kind of errors/problems are you now stuck on?

Best,
David B.

Betreff: [Gate-users] Creating New Gate Actors

Hello Gate users,

I was wondering if there are better instructions for developing new actors? I have looked at http://wiki.opengatecollaboration.org/index.php/GateActor but I am having trouble with developing the 4 required files (actor.cc, actor.hh, actorMessenger.cc, actorMessenger.hh).

Basically I would like to create an actor that is a mini version of the root output file. I don't need the entire output of root; I only require certain leaves from the Hits tree to save memory storage.

Thank you for your time.


Best,

Ignacio Romero
