As the code is written now, I don' t have the info on the track direction in poca, but I think I could get it by writing a code more similar to the extrapolateToPoca (i.e. by adding the additional propagation): do we really need this info?

That' s true, in the extrapolateToPoca you have the track direction because you extrapolate the track to the poca, but I thought we wanted to get rid of the statePred (and covPred) in the extrapolateToPoca/ToLine in order to avoid to call the Propagate function there, did we? ...I' m a little confused... Confused

I attach to this message the GeaneTrackRep.cxx with my implementation of the extrapolateToLine, just to show you how I would do things (at least for the extrapolateToLine)... but anyway it would not be so difficult for me to change the code and make it similar to the extrapolateToPoca.

I' d like to find the track direction without the need of performing the propagation, but I admit the most simple way is (as you did) to perform the additional propagation after having found the poca; in this case, however, we could do things in a slighlty different way: now we use the PropagateToVirtualPlaneAtPCA and then a virtual detector plane is built internally (in Propagate): this would be ok if we wanted to consider this plane as detPlane, but we don' t want to do this! We want to build our own detPlane (in the appropriate function). So actually, to find the direction, it would be enough to perform a propagation to the track length (and not to the plane) which corresponds to the found poca (without the need to build the plane)... I could look in FairGeanePro, if this is already feasible.

So if we want the direction also for the extrapolateToLine, I could provide a function similar to the extrapolateToPoca in order to have a preliminary implementation and then think about some modifications to make it faster... what do you think?

Lia.
