In the following we will build the complete Gaudi options file step by step. Here we simply present the most important steps, but do not go over all details of the `DDCEDViewer` configuration, for that it is probably best to directly look at the [CEDViewer repository](https://github.com/iLCSoft/CEDViewer) directly. The complete Gaudi configuration can be found in [`k4MarlinWrapper/examples/event_display.py`](https://github.com/key4hep/k4MarlinWrapper/blob/master/k4MarlinWrapper/examples/event_display.py) which is also installed at `$K4MARLINWRAPPER/examples/event_display.py` +In order to run the event display via the `DDCEDViewer` we use the Marlin wrapper.

However, depending on your detector model you might also need to change some of the `DDCEDViewer` parameters. The default compact file is `"CLICPerformance/Visualisation/CLIC_o3_v06_CED/CLIC_o3_v06_CED.xml"`. -MyInitializeDD4hep = MarlinProcessorWrapper("MyInitializeDD4hep") -MyInitializeDD4hep.OutputLevel = INFO -MyInitializeDD4hep.ProcessorType = "InitializeDD4hep" -MyInitializeDD4hep.Parameters = { - "DD4hepXMLFile": ["CLICPerformance/Visualisation/CLIC_o3_v06_CED/CLIC_o3_v06_CED.xml"] - } -algList.append(MyInitializeDD4hep) -``` -Note that in this case we already have passed in the geometry that we want to use for the event display. +## Details -Finally, the main work is done by the `DDCEDViewer`, which we again use via the `MarlinProcessorWrapper` (omitting a lot of the detailed configuration here). In order to convert the EDM4hep inputs to LCIO we attach an `EDM4hep2LcioTool` to this algorithm -```python -from Configurables import EDM4hep2LcioTool +The main work is done by the `DDCEDViewer`, which we use via the `MarlinProcessorWrapper`. It is the following part of example `event_display.py`. +```python MyCEDViewer = MarlinProcessorWrapper("MyCEDViewer") MyCEDViewer.OutputLevel = INFO MyCEDViewer.ProcessorType = "DDCEDViewer" MyCEDViewer.Parameters = { # ... lots of CEDViewer configuration ... } - -# EDM4hep to LCIO converter -edmConvTool = EDM4hep2LcioTool("EDM4hep2lcio") -edmConvTool.convertAll = True -edmConvTool.collNameMapping = {'MCParticles': 'MCParticle'} -edmConvTool.OutputLevel = DEBUG -MyCEDViewer.EDM4hep2LcioTool = edmConvTool - -algList.append(MyCEDViewer) -``` - -The only thing that is left to do now is to put everything into the `ApplicationManager` in order to run things -```python -from Configurables import ApplicationMgr -ApplicationMgr( TopAlg = algList, - EvtSel = 'NONE', - EvtMax = 10, - ExtSvc = [evtsvc], - OutputLevel=INFO - ) -``` - -With all these pieces put together (as in `examples/event_display.py`) it is now possible to run the event display.

One potential pitfall is the slightly different naming of the `ddsim` outputs between LCIO and EDM4hep (see [this issue](https://github.com/AIDASoft/DD4hep/issues/921)). This can be addressed by configuring the EDM4hep to LCIO converter (`edmConvTool` in the code above) to map the names accordingly. +If you are not seeing the detector make sure that it has the proper visualisation attributes, e.g. by comparing it to the compact file used above. +If you are not seeing any hits, tracks etc. from your event, make sure to add their collection names to the `DrawInLayer` list in the `DDCEDViewer` parameters.
