Abstract

We discuss a CERN's ROOT as a histogramming package for PSANA project.

...

In PSANA framework we need in package which allows to accumulate data in form of histograms and tuples and save them in file for further analysis. An official package which performs this job is PSHist. PSHist provides an abstract interface to the selected set of methods. Actual implementation of these methods is provided in the RootHist package, which is based on CERN's ROOT library. In case if user would need in full brut brute force of RootROOT, we could suggest to use it directly. In this note we present only the basic interface, equivalent to the PSHist, which allows to accumulate data save the file and browse this file interactively in Root.

...

Code Block
// Define some structures for TTree
typedef struct {float x,y,z;} POINT;
static POINT point;
float new_v;

// Create TTree
TTree* ptree = new TTree("ptree", "My comment to TTree");

// Create branch(es)
TBranch *pbranch = ptree->Branch("new_v", &new_v, "new_v/F");
// or create branch without pointer
                   ptree->Branch("point",&point,"x:y:z");

// Fill data structures for each event
      new_v   = gRandom->Gaus(0, 1);
      point.x = gRandom->Gaus(1, 1);
      point.y = gRandom->Gaus(2, 1);
      point.z = gRandom->Gaus(3, 1);

// Add an event record to the tree
      ptree->Fill();

// Write the tree in the file
ptree -> Write();

Execution of this program produces the ROOT file with name "file.root".

ROOT file interactively and plot histograms

In order to plot histograms and data from Ntuple, accumulated in the file.root one has to run ROOT interactively, or use a script. For example, we provide a script with name proc.C:
