Tree Friends

// This tutorial illustrates how to:
//   - create a simple TTree
//   - Copy a subset of this TTree to a new TTree
//   - Create a Tree Index
//   - Make a friend TTree
//   - compare two TTrees
//   - Draw a variable from the first tree versus a variable
//     in the friend Tree
//
// You can run this tutorial with:
//  root > .x treefriend.C  (interpreted via CINT)
//  root > .x treefriend.C+ (executed via ACLIC & the native compiler)
// or, variants like:
//  root > .L treefriend.C+
//  root > CreateParentTree();
//  root > CreateFriendTree();
//  root > CompareTrees();
//  root > DrawFriend();
