class TTable: public TDataSet


TTable

 Wraps the array of the plain C-structures (one C-structure per element)

class TTable provides the automatic schema evolution for
the derived "table" classes saved with ROOT format.

"Automatic Schema evolution" provides:
-  skipping data-member if it is not present for the current
implementation of the "table" but was present at the time the
table was written;
-  assign a default value ZERO for the brand-new data-members,
those were not in the structure when the object was written but
present now;
-  trace propely any change in the order of the data-members

To enjoy this class one has to derive his/her own custom class:

St_dst_track_Table.h:

#ifndef STAF_St_dst_track_Table
#define STAF_St_dst_track_Table

#include "TTable.h"

 #include "dst_track.h"  the C-structure defintion may be kept
separately
typedef struct dst_track_st {
     float r0;             /* radius at start (cm). See also comments*
     float phi0;           /* azimuthal angle at start (deg)         *
     float z0;             /* z-coord. at start (cm)                 *

where the CPP macro defines several convinient methods for the

      structName *begin() const  {                      return GetNRows()? GetTable(0):0;}
      structName *end()   const  {Int_t i = GetNRows(); return          i? GetTable(i):0;}

The class implementation file may 2 lines and look as follows:
(for the example above):

St_dst_track_Table.cxx:

#include "St_dst_track_Table.h"
TableClassImpl(St_dst_track, dst_track_st)

LinkDef.h

To provide ROOT I/O for this class TWO CINT dictonary entries
should be defined with your custom LinkDef.h file
1. First entry (as usually) for the class derived from TTable
for example:
#pragma C++ class St_dst_track
2. Second entry for the C-structure wrapped into the class.
Since C-structuire is not derived from TObject it must be
properly defined as "foreign" ROOT class
#pragma C++ class dst_track_st+;

meta-variables i$ and n$ introduced
where "i$" stands for the current row index
"n$" stands for the total number of rows
meta-variable can be used along the normal
table column names in the expressions (see for example
method TTable::Draw

Function documentation

TTableDescriptor * GetTableDescriptors() const
 protected: create a new TTableDescriptor descriptor for this table
void AsString(void* buf, TTable::EColumnType type, Int_t width, ostream& out) const
 AsString represents the value provided via "void *b" with type defined
          by "name"

   void *buf  - the pointer to the value to be printed out.
        type  - the basic data type for the value above
       width  - the number of psotion to be used to print the value out

const char * GetTypeName(TTable::EColumnType type)
return table type name
const void * At(Int_t i) const
 Returns a pointer to the i-th row of the table
Int_t CopyRows(const TTable* srcTable, Long_t srcRow = 0, Long_t dstRow = 0, Long_t nRows = 0, Bool_t expand = kFALSE)
 CopyRows copies nRows from starting from the srcRow of srcTable
 to the dstRow in this table upto nRows or by the end of this table.

 This table if automaticaly increased if expand = kTRUE.
 The old values of this table rows are to be destroyed and
 replaced with the new ones.

 PARAMETERS:
   srcTable - a pointer to the table "donor"
   srcRow   - the index of the first row of the table donor to copy from
   dstRow   - the index of the first row of this table to copy to
   nRows    - the total number of rows to be copied. This table will be expanded
              as needed if expand = kTRUE (it is kFALSE "by default")
          = 0 to copy ALL remain rows from the srcTable.
   expand   - flag whether this table should reallocated if needed.

 RETURN:
          the number of the rows been copied
void DeleteRows(Long_t indx, UInt_t nRows = 1)
 Delete one or several rows from the table

  Int_t indx  - index of the first row to be deleted
  Int_t nRows - the total number of rows to be deleted
              = 1 "by default
TH1 * Draw(TCut varexp, TCut selection, Option_t* option = "", Int_t nentries = 1000000000, Int_t firstentry = 0)
*-*-*-*-*-*Draw expression varexp for specified entries
*-*                  ===========================================

   This function accepts TCut objects as arguments.
   Useful to use the string operator +
         example:
            table.Draw("x",cut1+cut2+cut3);

   TCutG object with "CUTG" name can be created via the graphics editor.

TH1 * Draw(const char* varexp, const char* selection, Option_t* option = "", Int_t nentries = 1000000000, Int_t firstentry = 0)
*-*-*-*-*-*Draw expression varexp for specified entries
*-*                  ===========================================

  varexp is an expression of the general form e1:e2:e3
    where e1,etc is a C++ expression referencing a combination of the TTable columns
          One can use two extra meta variable "i$" and "n$" along with the table
          column names.
          i$ is to involve the current row number
          n$ refers the total num,ber of rows of this table provided by TTable::GetNRows()

  Example:
     varexp = x     simplest case: draw a 1-Dim distribution of column named x
            = sqrt(x)            : draw distribution of sqrt(x)
            = x*y/z
            = y:sqrt(x) 2-Dim dsitribution of y versus sqrt(x)
            = i$:sqrt(x) 2-Dim dsitribution of i versus sqrt(x[i])
            = phep[0]:sqrt(phep[3]) 2-Dim dsitribution of phep[0] versus sqrt(phep[3])

  Note that the variables e1, e2 or e3 may contain a boolean expression as well.
  example, if e1= x*(y<0), the value histogrammed will be x if y<0
  and will be 0 otherwise.

  selection is a C++ expression with a combination of the columns.
  The value corresponding to the selection expression is used as a weight
  to fill the histogram.
  If the expression includes only boolean operations, the result
  is 0 or 1. If the result is 0, the histogram is not filled.
  In general, the expression may be of the form:

      value*(boolean expression)

  if boolean expression is true, the histogram is filled with
  a weight = value.
  Examples:
      selection1 = "x<y && sqrt(z)>3.2 && 6 < i$ && i$ < n$"
      selection2 = "(x+y)*(sqrt(z)>3.2"
      selection3 = "signal*(log(signal)>1.2)"
  selection1 returns a weigth = 0 or 1
  selection2 returns a weight = x+y if sqrt(z)>3.2
             returns a weight = 0 otherwise.
  selection3 returns a weight = signal if log(signal)>1.2

  option is the drawing option
      see TH1::Draw for the list of all drawing options.
      If option contains the string "goff", no graphics is generated.

  nentries is the number of entries to process (default is all)
  first is the first entry to process (default is 0)

     Saving the result of Draw to an histogram

  By default the temporary histogram created is called htemp.
  If varexp0 contains >>hnew (following the variable(s) name(s),
  the new histogram created is called hnew and it is kept in the current
  directory.
  Example:
    tree.Draw("sqrt(x)>>hsqrt","y>0")
    will draw sqrt(x) and save the histogram as "hsqrt" in the current
    directory.

  By default, the specified histogram is reset.
  To continue to append data to an existing histogram, use "+" in front
  of the histogram name;
    table.Draw("sqrt(x)>>+hsqrt","y>0")
      will not reset hsqrt, but will continue filling.

     Making a Profile histogram

  In case of a 2-Dim expression, one can generate a TProfile histogram
  instead of a TH2F histogram by specyfying option=prof or option=profs.
  The option=prof is automatically selected in case of y:x>>pf
  where pf is an existing TProfile histogram.

     Saving the result of Draw to a TEventList

  TTable::Draw can be used to fill a TEventList object (list of entry numbers)
  instead of histogramming one variable.
  If varexp0 has the form >>elist , a TEventList object named "elist"
  is created in the current directory. elist will contain the list
  of entry numbers satisfying the current selection.
  Example:
    tree.Draw(">>yplus","y>0")
    will create a TEventList object named "yplus" in the current directory.
    In an interactive session, one can type (after TTable::Draw)
       yplus.Print("all")
    to print the list of entry numbers in the list.

  By default, the specified entry list is reset.
  To continue to append data to an existing list, use "+" in front
  of the list name;
    table.Draw(">>+yplus","y>0")
      will not reset yplus, but will enter the selected entries at the end
      of the existing list.

Bool_t EntryLoop(const Char_t* exprFileName, Int_t& action, TObject* obj, Int_t nentries = 1000000000, Int_t firstentry = 0, Option_t* option = "")
 EntryLoop creates a CINT bytecode to evaluate the given expressions for
 all table rows in loop and fill the appropriated histograms.
