Member Function Documentation

virtual IBPtr Herwig::MEPP2VV::clone ( ) const [protected, virtual]

Make a simple clone of this object.

Returns:
a pointer to the new object.

Implements ThePEG::InterfacedBase.

Reimplemented in Herwig::MEPP2VVPowheg.

virtual Selector<const ColourLines *> Herwig::MEPP2VV::colourGeometries ( tcDiagPtr  diag) const [virtual]

Return a Selector with possible colour geometries for the selected diagram weighted by their relative probabilities.

Parameters:
diagthe diagram chosen.
Returns:
the possible colour geometries weighted by their relative probabilities.

Implements ThePEG::MEBase.

virtual Selector<DiagramIndex> Herwig::MEPP2VV::diagrams ( const DiagramVector dv) const [virtual]

With the information previously supplied with the setKinematics method, a derived class may optionally override this method to weight the given diagrams with their (although certainly not physical) relative probabilities.

Parameters:
dvthe diagrams to be weighted.
Returns:
a Selector relating the given diagrams to their weights.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::MEBase.
