Hi Rene,
thanks for your answer.
I hate to be picky, but then the docs for 305 are wrong.
This is from root doc305/TFormula.html#TFormula%3Adescription:
" TMath functions can be part of the expression, eg:
*-* - TMath::Landau(x)*sin(x)
*-* - TMath::Erf(x)
*-*
"
Apart from that, just out of educational curiosity, how comes, that some
TMath functions work, e.g.:
root [0] form= new TFormula("form","TMath::Power(x,4)")
(class TFormula*)0x9040840
root [1] form.Eval(2)
(Double_t)1.60000000000000000e+01
root [2]
Did you have to implement the TMath-functions by hand? Because if you
wrote some kind of wrapper or so to include that functionality into
TFormula, either all or none of the functions should work, or shouldn't
they?
As I said, I am just puzzled about that and wondered how the partial
implementation has happened. Only because the power function worked, I
came to the idea of using more TMath inside my stuff.
Cheers,
Michael
