Constructor Detail

MCFIOWriter

public MCFIOWriter(java.lang.String file,
                   java.lang.String title,
                   java.lang.String comment,
                   int numevts,
                   int[] blockIds,
                   java.lang.String[] blockNames)
            throws java.io.IOException

Open an MCFIO file for writing.

Parameters:

title - The title of the file

comment - The comment associate with the file

numevts - The number of events expected to be written

blockIds - The user defined blocks that will be included in this file

blockNames - Names for the blocks defined by blockIds

Method Detail

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

write

public void write(MCFIOEvent event)
           throws java.io.IOException

Write an event

setCompatibilityMode

public void setCompatibilityMode(boolean mode)

Set compatibility mode. In the old C implementation there were various limits, such as the length of some strings and the maximum number of particles that could be written to stdhep events. There is no reason to have any of these limits in the Java implementation, but if we ignore them then the resulting file might not be readable by the old C implementation. By default this implementation enforces the same limits as the C implementation, but setting compatibilyMode to false will turn off this limitation.
