/** \class AliHLTTPCClusterFinder
<pre>
//_____________________________________________________________
// AliHLTTPCClusterFinder
//
// The current cluster finder for HLT
// (Based on STAR L3)
// 
// The cluster finder is initialized with the Init function, 
// providing the slice and patch information to work on. 
//
// The input is a provided by the AliHLTTPCDigitReader class,
// using the init() funktion, and the next() funktion in order 
// to get the next bin. Either packed or unpacked data can be
// processed, dependent if one uses AliHLTTPCDigitReaderPacked 
// class or AliHLTTPCDigitReaderUnpacked class in the 
// Clusterfinder Component.
// The resulting space points will be in the
// array given by the SetOutputArray function.
// 
// There are several setters which control the behaviour:
//
// - SetXYError(Float_t):   set fixed error in XY direction
// - SetZError(Float_t):    set fixed error in Z  direction
//                            (used if errors are not calculated) 
// - SetDeconv(Bool_t):     switch on/off deconvolution
// - SetThreshold(UInt_t):  set charge threshold for cluster
// - SetMatchWidth(UInt_t): set the match distance in 
//                            time for sequences to be merged 
// - SetSTDOutput(Bool_t):  switch on/off output about found clusters   
// - SetCalcErr(Bool_t):    switch on/off calculation of 
//                          space point errors (or widths in raw system)
// - SetRawSP(Bool_t):      switch on/off convertion to raw system
//
//
// Example Usage:
//
// AliHLTTPCFileHandler *file = new AliHLTTPCFileHandler();
// file->SetAliInput(digitfile); //give some input file
// for(int slice=0; slice<=35; slice++){
//   for(int patch=0; pat<6; pat++){
//     file->Init(slice,patch);
//     UInt_t ndigits=0;
//     UInt_t maxclusters=100000;
//     UInt_t pointsize = maxclusters*sizeof(AliHLTTPCSpacePointData);
//     AliHLTTPCSpacePointData *points = (AliHLTTPCSpacePointData*)memory->Allocate(pointsize);
//     AliHLTTPCDigitRowData *digits = (AliHLTTPCDigitRowData*)file->AliAltroDigits2Memory(ndigits,event);
//     AliHLTTPCClusterFinder *cf = new AliHLTTPCClusterFinder();
//     cf->SetMatchWidth(2);
//     cf->InitSlice( slice, patch, row[0], row[1], maxPoints );
//     cf->SetSTDOutput(kTRUE);    //Some output to standard IO
//     cf->SetRawSP(kFALSE);       //Convert space points to local system
//     cf->SetThreshold(5);        //Threshold of cluster charge
//     cf->SetDeconv(kTRUE);       //Deconv in pad and time direction
//     cf->SetCalcErr(kTRUE);      //Calculate the errors of the spacepoints
//     cf->SetOutputArray(points); //Move the spacepoints to the array
//     cf->Read(iter->fPtr, iter->fSize ); //give the data to the cf
//     cf->ProcessDigits();        //process the rows given by init
//     Int_t npoints = cf->GetNumberOfClusters();
//     AliHLTTPCMemHandler *out= new AliHLTTPCMemHandler();
//     out->SetBinaryOutput(fname);
//     out->Memory2Binary(npoints,points); //store the spacepoints
//     out->CloseBinaryOutput();
//     delete out;
//     file->free();
