                R O O T top level object description

    The TROOT object is the entry point to the ROOT system.
    The single instance of TROOT is accessible via the global gROOT.
    Using the gROOT pointer one has access to basically every object
    created in a ROOT based program. The TROOT object is essentially a
    container of several lists pointing to the main ROOT objects.

    The following lists are accessible from gROOT object:
       gROOT->GetListOfClasses
       gROOT->GetListOfColors
       gROOT->GetListOfTypes
       gROOT->GetListOfGlobals
       gROOT->GetListOfGlobalFunctions
       gROOT->GetListOfFiles
       gROOT->GetListOfMappedFiles
       gROOT->GetListOfSockets
       gROOT->GetListOfSecContexts
       gROOT->GetListOfCanvases
       gROOT->GetListOfStyles
       gROOT->GetListOfFunctions
       gROOT->GetListOfSpecials (for example graphical cuts)
       gROOT->GetListOfGeometries
       gROOT->GetListOfBrowsers
       gROOT->GetListOfCleanups
       gROOT->GetListOfMessageHandlers

   The TROOT class provides also many useful services:
     - Get pointer to an object in any of the lists above
     - Time utilities TROOT::Time

   The ROOT object must be created as a static object. An example
   of a main program creating an interactive version is shown below:

Example of a main program

       #include "TRint.h"

       int main(int argc, char **argv)
       {
          TRint *theApp = new TRint("ROOT example", &argc, argv);

          // Init Intrinsics, build all windows, and enter event loop
          theApp->Run();

          return(0);
       }
End of Main program

Function documentation

~TROOT()
 Clean up and free resources used by ROOT (files, network sockets,
 shared memory segments, etc.).
void AddClass(TClass* cl)
 Add a class to the list and map of classes.
 This routine is deprecated, use TClass::AddClass directly.
void AddClassGenerator(TClassGenerator* gen)
 Add a class generator.  This generator will be called by TClass::GetClass
 in case its does not find a loaded rootcint dictionary to request the
 creation of a TClass object.
void Browse(TBrowser* b)
 Add browsable objects to TBrowser.
Bool_t ClassSaved(TClass* cl)
 return class status bit kClassSaved for class cl
 This function is called by the SavePrimitive functions writing
 the C++ code for an object.
void CloseFiles()
 Close any files and sockets that gROOT knows about.
 This can be used to insures that the files and sockets are closed before any library is unloaded!
void EndOfProcessCleanups(bool altInterpreter = kFALSE)
 Execute the cleanups necessary at the end of the process, in particular
 those that must be executed before the library start being unloaded.
TObject * FindObject(const TObject* obj) const
 Find an object in one Root folder
TObject * FindObject(const char* name) const
 Returns address of a ROOT object if it exists

 If name contains at least one "/" the function calls FindObjectany

     - List of Nodes in current geometry
     - Current Directory in memory
     - Current Directory on file
TObject * FindObjectAny(const char* name) const
 Return a pointer to the first object with name starting at //root.
 This function scans the list of all folders.
 if no object found in folders, it scans the memory list of all files.
TObject * FindObjectAnyFile(const char* name) const
 Scan the memory lists of all files for an object with name
const char * FindObjectClassName(const char* name) const
 Returns class name of a ROOT object including CINT globals.
const char * FindObjectPathName(const TObject* obj) const
 Return path name of obj somewhere in the //root/... path.
 The function returns the first occurence of the object in the list
 of folders. The returned string points to a static char array in TROOT.
 If this function is called in a loop or recursively, it is the
 user's responsability to copy this string in his area.
TClass * FindSTLClass(const char* name, Bool_t load, Bool_t silent = kFALSE) const
 return a TClass object corresponding to 'name' assuming it is an STL container.
 In particular we looking for possible alternative name (default template
 parameter, typedefs template arguments, typedefed name).
TClass * GetClass(const char* name, Bool_t load = kTRUE, Bool_t silent = kFALSE) const
 Return pointer to class with name. Obsolete, use TClass::GetClass directly
TClass * GetClass(const type_info& typeinfo, Bool_t load = kTRUE, Bool_t silent = kFALSE) const
 Return pointer to class from its name. Obsolete, use TClass::GetClass directly
 See TClass::GetClass
TColor * GetColor(Int_t color) const
 Return address of color with index color.
TCanvas * MakeDefCanvas() const
 Return a default canvas.
TDataType * GetType(const char* name, Bool_t load = kFALSE) const
 Return pointer to type with name.
TFile * GetFile(const char* name) const
 Return pointer to file with name.
TStyle * GetStyle(const char* name) const
 Return pointer to style with name
TObject * GetFunction(const char* name) const
 Return pointer to function with name.
TGlobal * GetGlobal(const char* name, Bool_t load = kFALSE) const
 Return pointer to global variable by name. If load is true force
 reading of all currently defined globals from CINT (more expensive).
TGlobal * GetGlobal(const TObject* obj, Bool_t load = kFALSE) const
 Return pointer to global variable with address addr. If load is true
 force reading of all currently defined globals from CINT (more
 expensive).
TFunction * GetGlobalFunction(const char* name, const char* params = 0, Bool_t load = kFALSE)
 Return pointer to global function by name. If params != 0
 it will also resolve overloading. If load is true force reading
 of all currently defined global functions from CINT (more expensive).
 The param string must be of the form: "3189,\"aap\",1.3".
TFunction * GetGlobalFunctionWithPrototype(const char* name, const char* proto = 0, Bool_t load = kFALSE)
 Return pointer to global function by name. If proto != 0
 it will also resolve overloading. If load is true force reading
 of all currently defined global functions from CINT (more expensive).
 The proto string must be of the form: "int, char*, float".
TObject * GetGeometry(const char* name) const
 Return pointer to Geometry with name
TCollection * GetListOfGlobals(Bool_t load = kFALSE)
 Return list containing the TGlobals currently defined.
 Since globals are created and deleted during execution of the
 program, we need to update the list of globals every time we

 a (tight) loop where no interpreter symbols will be created
 you can set load=kFALSE (default).
TCollection * GetListOfGlobalFunctions(Bool_t load = kFALSE)

 you can set load=kFALSE (default).
TCollection * GetListOfTypes(Bool_t load = kFALSE)
 Return list containing all TDataTypes (typedefs) currently defined.
 Since types can be added and removed during execution of the
 program, we need to update the list of types every time we
 execute this method. However, when calling this function in
 a (tight) loop where no new types will be created
 you can set load=kFALSE (default).

 Load and initialize thread library.
TClass * LoadClass(const char* name, Bool_t silent = kFALSE) const
 Helper function used by TClass::GetClass().
 This function attempts to load the dictionary for 'classname'
 either from the TClassTable or from the list of generator.
 If silent is 'true', do not warn about missing dictionary for the class.
 (typically used for class that are used only for transient members)
Int_t LoadClass(const char* classname, const char* libname, Bool_t check = kFALSE)
 Check if class "classname" is known to the interpreter (in fact,
 this check is not needed anymore, so classname is ignored). If
 not it will load library "libname". If the library name does
 not start with "lib", "lib" will be prepended and a search will
 be made in the DynamicPath (see .rootrc). If not found a search
 will be made on libname (without "lib" prepended) and if not found
 a direct try of libname will be made (in case it contained an
 absolute path).
 If check is true it will only check if libname exists and is
 readable.
 Returns 0 on successful loading, -1 in case libname does not
 exist or in case of error and -2 in case of version mismatch.
void ls(Option_t* option = "") const
 To list all objects of the application.
 Loop on all objects created in the ROOT linked lists.
 Objects may be files and windows or any other object directly
 attached to the ROOT linked list.
Int_t LoadMacro(const char* filename, Int_t* error = 0, Bool_t check = kFALSE)
 Load a macro in the interpreter's memory. Equivalent to the command line
 command ".L filename". If the filename has "+" or "++" appended
 the macro will be compiled by ACLiC. The filename must have the format:
 [path/]macro.C[+|++[g|O]].
 The possible error codes are defined by TInterpreter::EErrorCode.
 If check is true it will only check if filename exists and is
 readable.
 Returns 0 on successful loading and -1 in case filename does not
 exist or in case of error.
Long_t Macro(const char* filename, Int_t* error = 0, Bool_t padUpdate = kTRUE)
 Execute a macro in the interpreter. Equivalent to the command line
 command ".x filename". If the filename has "+" or "++" appended
 the macro will be compiled by ACLiC. The filename must have the format:
 [path/]macro.C[+|++[g|O]][(args)].
 The possible error codes are defined by TInterpreter::EErrorCode.
 If padUpdate is true (default) update the current pad.
 Returns the macro return value.
void Message(Int_t id, const TObject* obj)
 Process message id called by obj.
Long_t ProcessLine(const char* line, Int_t* error = 0)
 Process interpreter command via TApplication::ProcessLine().
 On Win32 the line will be processed asynchronously by sending
 it to the CINT interpreter thread. For explicit synchronous processing
 use ProcessLineSync(). On non-Win32 platforms there is no difference
 between ProcessLine() and ProcessLineSync().
 The possible error codes are defined by TInterpreter::EErrorCode. In
 particular, error will equal to TInterpreter::kProcessing until the
 CINT interpreted thread has finished executing the line.
 Returns the result of the command, cast to a Long_t.
Long_t ProcessLineSync(const char* line, Int_t* error = 0)
 Process interpreter command via TApplication::ProcessLine().
 On Win32 the line will be processed synchronously (i.e. it will
 only return when the CINT interpreter thread has finished executing
 the line). On non-Win32 platforms there is no difference between
 ProcessLine() and ProcessLineSync().
 The possible error codes are defined by TInterpreter::EErrorCode.
 Returns the result of the command, cast to a Long_t.
Long_t ProcessLineFast(const char* line, Int_t* error = 0)
 Process interpreter command directly via CINT interpreter.
 Only executable statements are allowed (no variable declarations),
 In all other cases use TROOT::ProcessLine().
 The possible error codes are defined by TInterpreter::EErrorCode.
void ReadGitInfo()
 Read Git commit information and branch name from the
 etc/gitinfo.txt file.
Bool_t ReadingObject() const
Deprecated (will be removed in next release)
void SetReadingObject(Bool_t flag = kTRUE)
const char * GetGitDate()
 Return date/time make was run.
void RefreshBrowsers()
 Refresh all browsers. Call this method when some command line
 command or script has changed the browser contents. Not needed
 for objects that have the kMustCleanup bit set. Most useful to
 update browsers that show the file system or other objects external
 to the running ROOT session.
void RemoveClass(TClass* )
 Remove a class from the list and map of classes.
 This routine is deprecated, use TClass::RemoveClass directly.
void Reset(Option_t* option = "")
 Delete all global interpreter objects created since the last call to Reset

 If option="a" is set reset to startup context (i.e. unload also
 all loaded files, classes, structs, typedefs, etc.).

 This function is typically used at the beginning (or end) of an unnamed macro
 to clean the environment.

 IMPORTANT WARNING:
 Do not use this call from within any function (neither compiled nor
 interpreted.  This should only be used from a unnamed macro
 (which starts with a { (curly braces)  ).  For example, using TROOT::Reset
 from within an interpreted function will lead to the unloading of the
 dictionary and source file, including the one defining the function being
 executed.

void SaveContext()
 Save the current interpreter context.
void SetCutClassName(const char* name = "TCutG")
 Set the default graphical cut class name for the graphics editor
 By default the graphics editor creates an instance of a class TCutG.
 This function may be called to specify a different class that MUST
 derive from TCutG
void SetEditorMode(const char* mode = "")
 Set editor mode
void SetStyle(const char* stylename = "Default")
 Change current style to style with name stylename
Int_t DecreaseDirLevel()

Int_t GetDirLevel()
return directory level
const char * GetMacroPath()
 Get macro search path. Static utility function.
void SetMacroPath(const char* newpath)
 Set or extend the macro search path. Static utility function.
 If newpath=0 or "" reset to value specified in the rootrc file.
Int_t IncreaseDirLevel()
 Increase the indentation level for ls().
void IndentLevel()
 Functions used by ls() to indent an object hierarchy.
Bool_t Initialized()
 Return kTRUE if the TROOT object has been initialized.
Bool_t MemCheck()
 Return kTRUE if the memory leak checker is on.
void SetDirLevel(Int_t level = 0)
 Return Indentation level for ls().
Int_t ConvertVersionCode2Int(Int_t code)
 Convert version code to an integer, i.e. 331527 -> 51507.
Int_t ConvertVersionInt2Code(Int_t v)
 Convert version as an integer to version code as used in RVersion.h.
Int_t RootVersionCode()
 Return ROOT version code as defined in RVersion.h.
