\program gmxpl
 
\brief   GENIE utility program computing the maximum path lengths for any
         given ROOT/GEANT geometry and saving them in an output XML file.
 
         The maximum path lengths XML file can then be input to the GENIE
         event generation drivers to speed up the job initialization.
 
         Note that this program actually computes the 'density weighted' path
         lengths required for computing interaction probabilities in the input
         geometry volumes.
         For pure materials, this program computes:
              -> [path length]*[material density]
         whereas,  for the ith element of a mixture, it computes:
              -> [path length]*[mixture density]*[element weight fraction]
 
         Syntax :
           gmxpl -f geom_file [-L length_units] [-D density_units] 
                 [-t top_vol_name] [-o output_xml_file] [-n np] [-r nr]
                 [-seed random_number_seed]
                 [--message-thresholds xml_file]
 
         Options :
           -f  
              A ROOT file containing a ROOT/GEANT geometry description
           -L  
               Geometry length units [ default: mm ]
           -D  
               Geometry density units [ default: gr/cm3 ]
           -t  
               Top volume name [ default: "" ]
           -n  
               Number of  scanning points / surface [ default: see geom driver's defaults ]
           -r  
               Number of scanning rays / point [ default: see geom driver's defaults ]
           -o  
               Name of output XML file [ default: maxpl.xml ]
           --seed 
               Random number seed.
          --message-thresholds
              Allows users to customize the message stream thresholds.
              The thresholds are specified using an XML file.
              See $GENIE/config/Messenger.xml for the XML schema.
 
         Example:
 
           gmxpl -f mygeometry.root -L m -D kg_m3 -o out.xml -n 1000 -r 1000
 
           will compute the maximum density weighted path lengths for all the 
           materials of the ROOT geometry at the mygeometry.root input file. 
           The program will use 'm' and 'kg/m^3' as the length and density 
           units of the input geometry. 
           The input geometry will be scanned with 1E+3 points / surface and
           1E+3 rays / surface.
           Results will be saved in the out.xml XML file at SI units.
           See $GENIE/src/Conventions/Units.h for GENIE unit definitions.
