mt_readNtuplesFillHistosAndFit.C File Reference

Detailed Description

Read n-tuples in distinct workers, fill histograms, merge them and fit.

Knowing that other facilities like TProcessExecutor might be more adequate for this operation, this tutorial complements mc101, reading and merging. We convey another message with this tutorial: the synergy of ROOT and STL algorithms is possible.
