GateContrib
Warning - This is a user-oriented, collaborative repository of Gate examples. The OpenGate collaboration is not responsible of any contents.
PLEASE INSTALL GIT-LFS FIRST: this is required !
This repository contains data (binary files), stored with git-lfs extension. For most modern Linux distributions there is a standard package for this, e.g. for Ubuntu/Debian do: apt install git-lfs. (If your OS does not have a standard package for git-lfs, then follow the installation instructions on the git-lfs GitHub page.) With git-lfs successfully installed, clone the GateContrib repository with the command git lfs clone https://github.com/OpenGATE/GateContrib.git. If you omit the lfs from the git clone command then the large binary files may not be downloaded correctly.
Gate, based on Geant4 library, allows to perform various Monte-Carlo simulations in the field of medical physics. Gate can be used in numerous ways and for a lot of different applications. This repository contains Gate simulation examples, mostly provided by users, in order to help sharing knowledge.
How to contribute ?
- Prepare your example as a pull-request. Clone this repository in your github account, commit your example in your cloned repository, then ask us to integrate your proposal via the "New pull request" button.
- Your simulation must be in a separate folder. You can put it in the folder
imagingordosimetryormisc. - Example must contains:
- a
readme.mdfile that describe the example, the authors, the date and Gate version - 3 folders
mac/data/output/. The first will contains all macros (.macfiles), the second all data files needed as input for the simulations. Results should be written in theoutput/folder. - Simulation should be run by a command such as
Gate mac/main.mac
- a
- It is also possible to contribute via analysis tools. If you developed a killer python script or C++ code useful for Gate simulation, feel free to share it here !
