quick guide to do some star simulation

• on pdsf or rcf, type
  staf -w 1
• turn on debug mode, type
  debug on
• load geometry and other settings by typing
  detp geometry [some settings]
  make geometry
  (may want to try detp geometry help first to see available settings)
• show subsystems by typing
  display detm
  use left mouse button to navigate. click right mouse button (or choose Quit) will get you back to command mode
• draw some detector subsystem
  draw TPCE
  or optionally define cuts
  dcut TPCE z 1 10 10
  (order: [volume] [axis] [cut] [horiz origin] [vert origin] [horiz scale] [vert scale]) the example above will give a view of the TPC along the z axis, with a cut at z=0, and put the origin at coordinate (10, 10) of the window.
  to draw everything:
  /geant/drawing/draw cave 70 30 30 10 10 0.02 0.02
  (order: [volume] [theta] [phi] [psi] [horiz origin] [vert origin] [horiz scale] [vert scale])
• generate some particle tracks, type
  gkine 2 8 0.1 1 -1 1
  (the order is [# tracks] [particle type] [low pT] [hi pT] [lo rapidity] [hi rapidity])
  (look up pid here)
  trigger event,
  trig
  finally, detect hits,
  dhits
