I am looking at updating our version of Acts and started with the geometry. The geometry building for TGeo is still within the ActsExamples namespace, which means anyone using TGeo still relies on the code. The core geometry building functionality is included in a function within
namespace {}inTGeoDetector.cpp, so it is effectively static and inaccessible to any outside files. This PR adds a wrapper function to theActsExamplesnamespace so that the functionality can be called outside. If there are better ways to handle this or achieve the same functionality, I would be interested to discuss
