Detailed Description

Manages the extraction of LArSoft geometry information from ROOT.

The general interface only provides abstraction for the high level objects (cryostats and auxiliary detectors). The implementations can use a finer internal structure to address single subcomponents (e.g. wire planes).

Builder objects can be configured via FHiCL parameters.

This is an abstract interface.

Customization of geometry objects

The builders return collections of LArSoft geometry objects dynamically allocated. In this way, in future it will be possible to easily customize those objects for detector-specific needs. Note that as of LArSoft v08_06_00, no polymorphism is actually implemented.
