How to add a new variable
Each variable is defined inside FlavorTag.cc as a class inheriting from FTAlgo. The name of the variable is defined by providing a string argument to the constructor of the parent class. The variable class should implement the process() method which performs the variable computation. One can access the jet data through the member "_jet" and the event data through "_event". The result should be stored in the member variable "_result". One can optionally implement the processEvent() method which is called once per every event. The class should be instantiated and added to the FTManager object inside the FlavorTag::init() method to make the variable known to LCFIPlus.
An example implementation of a variable is shown below.
// computes the number of vertices in a jet
class FtNvtx : public FTAlgo {class FtNvtx : public FTAlgo {
public:
FtNvtx() : FTAlgo("nvtx") {}
void process() { _result = _jet->getVertices().size(); }
};
