convert SF7 to GEMC map

For solenoid type of magnet, assume azimuthal symmetry.

SF7 map format produced by PossionSuperfish program SF7.exe contain text lines for explanation, map range and grid size, map values (R, Z, Br, Bz, B, A, dBz/dr, dBr/dz, field index).

GEMC map format requires R, Z, Br, Bz

Additional difference is SF7 map values are in order of R increasing first when Z is fixed, while GEMC map values are in order of Z increasing first when R is fixed.

Thus we need the conversion script

for example:
To covert SF7 map file CDFv4.sf7, start root and run ".x SF7toGEMCmap.C("CDFv4.sf7",0)", 
the output should be like:
  open SF7 file CDFv4.sf7 ok
  Rmin 0 Zmin -400
  Rmax 400 Zmax 600
  R and Z increments:     400     1000
  please put 401 1001 instead into database
  the units are in cm and G
  covert to GEMC map file CDFv4.sf7.GEMCmap ok

plot SF7 map and integrate over B

SF7toGEMCmap.C(options)

options:
"SF7_filename",0                convert map only 
"SF7_filename",1                convert map and show map plot
"SF7_filename",2                show map plot only
"SF7_filename",3,x1,y1,x2,y2    show map plot and integrate over B along the line (x1,y1)-(x2,y2)

note:

1. To view values in map, turn on "Event Statusbar" in menu "view" on root Canvas, then use mouse to look around.

2. Edit the code to use something like "hB->SetMinimum(20)" to make a cut.

3. Zoom on colz axis to explore map details

4. not matter which option you use, a root file "SF7_filename.root" with all plots will be created.

compare SF7 map

SF7map_compare.C("v2.root","v1.root")

After you produce the root files for different configuration, use this to show the difference of "field in v2 - field in v1"

some root files are stored in the download already.

note: the two versions have to have the same grid size and map range

field map file info in database

To make GEMC aware the field map file name, grid, position etc, we need to put those in database table "magnetic_fields"

The scripts are at svn "database_io/solid/field/"

edit the file "magnetic_fields.txt" with grid info from output of "SF7toGEMCmap.C"

just run "go_table_magf magnetic_fields.txt solid_geometry" or "go_table_magf magnetic_fields.txt user_geometry"
