| 3 | +## Implementation |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +This section explains how the object can become a `LorentzVector`. A type `MyLorentzVector` will comply to the `LorentzVector` interface if one of the following et of methods is implemented. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +### Option 1: position with cartesian coordinates |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +| Required Methods | Brief Description | |
| 10 | +|--------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------| |
| 11 | +| `LorentzVectorBase.islorentzvector(::Type{MyLorentzVector})` | Declare that your type implements the interface | |
| 12 | +| `LorentzVectorBase.coordinatesystem(::Type{MyLorentzVector}) = LorentzVectorBase.XYZE` | Declare the preferred coordinated system | |
| 13 | +| `LorentzVectorBase.x(::Tupe{MyLorentzVector})` | x cartesian coordinate | |

| 25 | +| `LorentzVectorBase.coordinatesystem(::Type{MyLorentzVector}) = LorentzVectorBase.XYZE` | Declare the preferred coordinated system | |
| 26 | +| `LorentzVectorBase.px(::Tupe{MyLorentzVector})` | x cartesian coordinate | |
| 27 | +| `LorentzVectorBase.py(::Tupe{MyLorentzVector})` | y cartesian coordinate | |
| 28 | +| `LorentzVectorBase.pz(::Tupe{MyLorentzVector})` | z cartesian coordinate | |
| 29 | +| `LorentzVectorBase.pt(::Tupe{MyLorentzVector})` | t cartesian coordinate | |
| 30 | +| | | |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +### Option 3 four-momentum with cylindrical coordinates |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +| Required Methods | Brief Description | |
| 35 | +|--------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------| |
| 36 | +| `LorentzVectorBase.islorentzvector(::Type{MyLorentzVector})` | Declare that your type implements the interface | |
| 37 | +| `LorentzVectorBase.coordinatesystem(::Type{MyLorentzVector})`| Declare the preferred coordinated system. Must return PtEtaPhiM, PtEtaPhiE, PtYPhiM, or PtYPhiE (from LorentzVectorBase).| |
| 38 | +| `LorentzVectorBase.pt(::Tupe{MyLorentzVector})` | x cartesian coordinate | |
| 39 | +| `LorentzVectorBase.phi(::Tupe{MyLorentzVector})` | z cartesian coordinate | |
