//
//  Description:
//    The G4FastStep class insures a friendly interface
//    to manage the primary/secondaries final state for 
//    Fast Simulation Models. This includes final states of parent
//    particle (normalized direction of the momentum, energy, etc) and 
//    secondary particles generated by the parameterisation.
//
//    The G4FastStep class acts also as the G4ParticleChange
//    for the Fast Simulation Process. So it inherites from 
//    the G4VParticleChange class and redefines the four virtual 
//    methods :
//
//     virtual G4Step* UpdateStepForAtRest(G4Step* Step);
//     virtual G4Step* UpdateStepForAlongStep(G4Step* Step);
//     virtual G4Step* UpdateStepForPostStep(G4Step* Step);
//     virtual void Initialize(const G4Track&);
//
//  History:
//    Oct 97: Verderi && MoraDeFreitas - First Implementation.
//    Dec 97: Verderi - ForceSteppingHitInvocation(),
//                      Set/GetTotalEnergyDeposited() methods.
//    Apr 98: MoraDeFreitas - G4FastStep becomes the G4ParticleChange
//                      for the Fast Simulation Process.
//    Nov 04: Verderi - Add ProposeXXX methods. SetXXX ones are kept
//                      for backward compatibility.

// Class Description:
//  The final state of the particles after parameterisation has to be returned through a G4FastStep 
//  reference. This final state is described as "requests" the tracking will apply after your 
//  parameterisation has been invoked.
//
//  To facilitate the developers work, changes of position/normalized direction of the 
//  momentum/polarization can be specified in the local coordinate system of the envelope or in the 
//  global one.
//  The default is local system coordinates.
