19// Class AliPosition
20// Handling of positions in various reference frames.
21//
22// This class is meant to serve as a base class for ALICE objects
23// that have a unique position in 3-dimensional space.
24//
25// Note :
26// ------
27// Positions (r), errors (e) and reference frames (f) are specified via
28//
29// SetPosition(Float_t* r,TString f)
30// SetPositionErrors(Float_t* e,TString f)
31//
32// under the following conventions :
33//
34// f="car" ==> r in Cartesian coordinates (x,y,z)
35// f="sph" ==> r in Spherical coordinates (r,theta,phi)
36// f="cyl" ==> r in Cylindrical coordinates (rho,phi,z)
37//
38// All angles are in radians.
39//
261c0caf 40// The unit scale for the coordinates can be defined by the user
41// via the SetUnitScale() memberfunction.
42// This enables standardised expressions using numerical values of
43// physical constants by means of the GetUnitScale() memberfunction.
44// By default the unit scale is set to cm, corresponding to invokation
45// of SetUnitScale(0.01).
46//
47//
959fbac5 48// Example :
49// ---------
50//
51// AliPosition q;
52// Float_t pos[3]={-1,25,7};
53// Float_t err[3]={0.08,1.85,0.5};
54// q.SetPosition(pos,"car");
55// q.SetPositionErrors(pos,"car");
56// Float_t loc[3],dloc[3];
57// q.GetPosition(loc,"sph");
58// q.GetPositionErrors(dloc,"sph");
59//
