The graph painter class

Introduction

Graphs are drawn via the painter TGraphPainter class. This class implement all the various techniques need to display the various kind of graphs ie: TGraph, TGraphAsymmErrors, TGraphBentErrors and TGraphErrors.

To draw a graph "g" is enough to do:

   g->Draw("AL");
The option "AL" in the Draw() method means that the axis syetem should be define (option "A") and that the graph should be drawn as a simple line (option "L"). By default a graph is drawn in the current pad in the current coordinates system. To define a suitable coordinates system and drawn the axis the option "A" must be specified.

TGraphPainter offers many options to paint the various kind of graphs.

The TGraphPainter class specializes in the drawing of graphs. It is separated from the graph so that one can have graphs without the graphics overhead, for example in a batch program.

When a displayed graph is modified, there is not need to call the Draw() method again; the image will be refreshed the next time the pad will be updated.

A pad is updated after one of these three actions:

  1. a carriage control on the ROOT command line,
  2. a click inside the pad,
  3. a call to TPad::Update.

Graphs' plotting options

Graphs can be drawn with the following options:

"A" Axis are drawn around the graph
"L" A simple polyline between every points is drawn
"F" A fill area is drawn ('CF' draw a smooth fill area)
"C" A smooth Curve is drawn
"*" A Star is plotted at each point
"P" Idem with the current marker
"B" A Bar chart is drawn at each point
"1" ylow=rwymin
"X+" The X-axis is drawn on the top side of the plot.
"Y+" The Y-axis is drawn on the right side of the plot.

Several drawing options can be combined. In the following example the graph is drawn as a smooth curve (option "C") and with markers (option "P"). The option "A" request the definition of the axis.

   c1->Update();
   c1->GetFrame()->SetFillColor(21);
   c1->GetFrame()->SetBorderSize(12);
   c1->Modified();
   return c1;
}

Exclusion graphs

When a graph is painted with the option "C" or "L" it is possible to draw a filled area on one side of the line. This is useful to show exclusion zones.

This drawing mode is activated when the absolute value of the graph line width (set thanks to SetLineWidth()) is greater than 99. In that case the line width number is interpreted as:

      100*ff+ll = ffll
  • The two digits number "ll" represent the normal line width
  • The two digits number "ff" is the filled area width.
  • The sign of "ffll" allows to flip the filled area from one side of the line to the other.
The current fill area attributes are used to draw the hatched zone.

Graphs with error bars

Three classes are available to handle graphs with error bars: TGraphErrors, TGraphAsymmErrors and TGraphBentErrors. In addition to the drawing options previously described, the graphs with error bars can be drawn with the following extra options:

"Z" By default horizonthal and vertical small lines are drawn at the end of the error bars. If option "z" or "Z" is specified, these lines are not drawn.
">" An arrow is drawn at the end of the error bars. The size of the arrow is set to 2/3 of the marker size.
"|>" A filled arrow is drawn at the end of the error bars. The size of the arrow is set to 2/3 of the marker size.
"X" By default the error bars are drawn. If option "X" is specified, the errors are not drawn. The graph with errors in drawn like a normal graph.
"||" Only the end vertical/horizonthal lines of the error bars are drawn. This option is interesting to superimpose systematic errors on top of a graph with statistical errors.
"[]" Does the same as option "||" except that it draws additionnal tick marks at the end of the vertical/horizonthal lines. This makes less ambiguous plots in case several graphs are drawn on the same picture.
"0" By default, when a data point is outside the visible range along the Y axis the error bars are not drawn. Combined with other options, this option forces error bars' drawing for the data points outside the visible range along the Y axis.
"2" Error rectangles are drawn.
"3" A filled area is drawn through the end points of the vertical error bars.
"4" A smoothed filled area is drawn through the end points of the vertical error bars.

gStyle->SetErrorX(dx) controls the size of the error along x. dx = 0 removes the error along x.

gStyle->SetEndErrorSize(np) controls the size of the lines at the end of the error bars (when option 1 is used). By default np=1. (np represents the number of pixels).

TGraphErrors

A TGraphErrors is a TGraph with error bars. The errors are defined along X and Y and are symmetric: The left and right errors are the same along X and the bottom and up errors are the same along Y.
output of MACRO_TGraphPainter_5_c4
{
   TCanvas *c4 = new TCanvas("c4","c4",200,10,600,400);
   double x[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4};
   double y[] = {0, 2, 4, 1, 3};
   double ex[] = {0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5};
   double ey[] = {1, 0.5, 1, 0.5, 1};
   TGraphErrors* ge = new TGraphErrors(5, x, y, ex, ey);
   ge->Draw("ap");
   return c4;
}

The option "3" allows to shows the error as band.

output of MACRO_TGraphPainter_7_c41
{
   TCanvas *c41 = new TCanvas("c41","c41",200,10,600,400);
   double x[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4};
   double y[] = {0, 2, 4, 1, 3};
   double ex[] = {0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5};
   double ey[] = {1, 0.5, 1, 0.5, 1};
   TGraphErrors* ge = new TGraphErrors(5, x, y, ex, ey);
   ge->SetFillColor(4);
   ge->SetFillStyle(3010);
   ge->Draw("a3");
   return c41;
}

The option "4" is similar to the option "3" except that the band is smoothed. As the following picture shows, this option should be used carefuly because the smoothing algorithm may show some (huge) "bouncing" effects. In some case looks nicer than the option "3" (because it is smooth) but it can be misleading.

output of MACRO_TGraphPainter_9_c42
{
   TCanvas *c42 = new TCanvas("c42","c42",200,10,600,400);
   double x[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4};
   double y[] = {0, 2, 4, 1, 3};
   double ex[] = {0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5};
   double ey[] = {1, 0.5, 1, 0.5, 1};
   TGraphErrors* ge = new TGraphErrors(5, x, y, ex, ey);
   ge->SetFillColor(6);
   ge->SetFillStyle(3005);
   ge->Draw("a4");
   return c42;
}

The following example shows how the option "[]" can be used to superimpose systematic errors on top of a graph with statistical errors.

   // Now draw data set (1)

   // We first have to draw it only with the stat errors
   TGraphErrors *graph1 = new TGraphErrors(5, x, y1, zero, ey_stat1);
   graph1->SetMarkerStyle(20);
   graph1->Draw("P");

   // Now we have to somehow depict the sys errors

   TGraphErrors *graph1_sys = new TGraphErrors(5, x, y1, zero, ey_sys1);
   graph1_sys->Draw("[]");

   // Now draw data set (2)

   // We first have to draw it only with the stat errors
   TGraphErrors *graph2 = new TGraphErrors(5, x, y2, zero, ey_stat2);
   graph2->SetMarkerStyle(24);
   graph2->Draw("P");

   TGraphErrors *graph2_sys = new TGraphErrors(5, x, y2, zero, ey_sys2);
   graph2_sys->Draw("[]");
   return c43;
}

TGraphAsymmErrors

A TGraphAsymmErrors is like a TGraphErrors but the errors defined along X and Y are not symmetric: The left and right errors are different along X and the bottom and up errors are different along Y.

   double ay[] = {0, 2, 4, 1, 3};
   double aexl[] = {0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5};
   double aexh[] = {0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1};
   double aeyl[] = {1, 0.5, 1, 0.5, 1};
   double aeyh[] = {0.5, 1, 0.5, 1, 0.5};
   TGraphAsymmErrors* gae = new TGraphAsymmErrors(5, ax, ay, aexl, aexh, aeyl, aeyh);
   gae->SetFillColor(2);
   gae->SetFillStyle(3001);
   gae->Draw("a2");
   gae->Draw("p");
   return c44;
}

TGraphBentErrors

A TGraphBentErrors is like a TGraphAsymmErrors. An extra parameter allows to bent the error bars to better see them when several graphs are drawn on the same plot.

   gr->SetMarkerStyle(21);
   gr->Draw("ALP");
   return c45;
}

TGraphPolar options

The drawing options for the polar graphs are the following values:
"O" Polar labels are paint orthogonally to the polargram radius.
"P" Polymarker are paint at each point position.
"E" Paint error bars.
"F" Paint fill area (closed polygon).
"A" Force axis redrawing even if a polargram already exists.
"N" Disable the display of the polar labels.

"F2" Draw a Fill area polyline connecting the center of bins
"C" A smooth Curve is drawn.
"*" A Star is plotted at the center of each bin.
"P" Idem with the current marker
"P0" Idem with the current marker. Empty bins also drawn
"B" A Bar chart with equidistant bins is drawn as fill areas (Contours are drawn).
"9" Force graph to be drawn in high resolution mode. By default, the graph is drawn in low resolution in case the number of points is greater than the number of pixels in the current pad.
"][" "Cutoff" style. When this option is selected together with H option, the first and last vertical lines of the histogram are not drawn.

void PaintPolyLineHatches(TGraph* theGraph, Int_t n, const Double_t* x, const Double_t* y)
   Paint a polyline with hatches on one side showing an exclusion zone. x and y
   are the the vectors holding the polyline and n the number of points in the
   polyline and w the width of the hatches. w can be negative.
   This method is not meant to be used directly. It is called automatically
   according to the line style convention.
   
 
void PaintStats(TGraph* theGraph, TF1* fit)
   Paint the statistics box with the fit info.
   
 
void Smooth(TGraph* theGraph, Int_t npoints, Double_t* x, Double_t* y, Int_t drawtype)
   Smooth a curve given by N points.
   

The original code come from an underlaying routine for Draw based on the CERN GD3 routine TVIPTE:

This method draws a smooth tangentially continuous curve through the sequence of data points P(I) I=1,N where P(I)=(X(I),Y(I)) the curve is approximated by a polygonal arc of short vectors . the data points can represent open curves, P(1) != P(N) or closed curves P(2) == P(N) . If a tangential discontinuity at P(I) is required , then set P(I)=P(I+1) . loops are also allowed .
