    Update ThcDriftChamber::LeftRight · e0e3dbcc
    Mark Jones authored
    The LeftRight method determines the sign of the wire
    distance for each hit in the spacepoint by looping
    through all combinations of wire signs and fitting each
    combination with a line  and selecting
    the combination with the lowest chi-squared.
    The fit to the line is known as the "stub" which
    is an array of the x,dx/dz, y and dy/dz of the fit
    and is associated each spacepoint. The stubs are
    used later in LinkStubs method
    to match spacepoints between two chambers to give a
    possible tracks.
    
    Previously the LeftRight method would only fit a
    stub for a spacepoint with 4 hits in the chamber if the
    parameter flag  HMSStyleChamber was true.
    HMSStyleChamber refers to the 6 GeV HMS chambers
    and we do not have them anymore.
    But not fitting the spacepoint, the stub
    was filled with zeros for x,dx/dz,y and dy/dz
    and these spacepoints would never be matched with
    other spacepoints to form a possible track.
