RE: [ROOT] how to compare 2 datasets from 2 different ntuples

Hi,

what do you mean "against"? Suppose parameter A is from one ntuple and B
from another. Obviously you can't plot "A against B", as they have a
different number of entries and seem to be unrelated. So what you might want
to create is two different plots, maybe within one coordinate system (i.e.
parameter 'sugar content' for yellow ice cream in yellow and red ice cream
in red). Then just open them (see TFile and TNtuple / TTree), and create a
canvas "new TCanvas(...)" and plot both of them. Stating "S" as the
TTree::Draw option for the second one will keep the first one in the canvas,
superimposing the second.

A general remark: The Root users guide is excellent, it will answer about
98% of all your questions - and you might want to restrict your questions to
the remaining 2% ;-)

Cheers, Axel.
