// G4TheRayTracer
//   This is a graphics driver of Geant4 which generates a figure file by
// ray tracing technique. The format of output figure file can be selected
// by assigning a pointer of G4VFigureFileMaker concrete class object.
//   The main entry of ray tracing is Trace() method, which is available
// only at Idle state. G4TheRayTracer shoots rays and controls its own event
// loop. It generates G4Event objects used for its own purpose. When ray
// tracing is working, all sensitive detectors are inactivated and all
// user action classes are swapped out. Still, verbosities set to Geant4
// manager classes are concerned. Thus, it is recommended to set verbosities
// to minimum (usually zero).
//   G4TheRayTracer can visualise absolutely all kinds of geometrical shapes
// which G4Navigator can deal with. Instead, it can NOT visualise hits
// nor trajectories generated by usual simulation.
