TGraphPainter Class Reference

The graph painter class.

Implements all graphs' drawing's options.

### Introduction

Graphs are drawn via the painter TGraphPainter class. This class implements techniques needed to display the various kind of graphs i.e.: TGraph, TGraphErrors, TGraphBentErrors and TGraphAsymmErrors.

To draw a graph graph it's enough to do:

graph->Draw("AL");


The option AL in the Draw() method means:

1. The axis should be drawn (option A),
2. The graph should be drawn as a simple line (option L).

By default a graph is drawn in the current pad in the current coordinate system. To define a suitable coordinate system and draw the axis the option A must be specified.

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

It is separated from the graph classes so that one can have graphs without the graphics overhead, for example in a batch program.

When a displayed graph is modified, there is no need to call Draw() 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 return 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:

Option Description
"A" Axis are drawn around the graph
"I" Combine with option 'A' it draws invisible axis
"L" A simple polyline is drawn
"F" A fill area is drawn ('CF' draw a smoothed fill area)
"C" A smooth Curve is drawn
"*" A Star is plotted at each point
"P" The current marker is plotted at each point
"B" A Bar chart is drawn
"1" When a graph is drawn as a bar chart, this option makes the bars start from the bottom of the pad. By default they start at 0.
"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.
"PFC" Palette Fill Color: graph's fill color is taken in the current palette.
"PLC" Palette Line Color: graph's line color is taken in the current palette.
"PMC" Palette Marker Color: graph's marker color is taken in the current palette.
"RX" Reverse the X axis.
"RY" Reverse the Y axis.

Drawing options can be combined. In the following example the graph is drawn as a smooth curve (option "C") with markers (option "P") and with axes (option "A").

{
auto c1 = new TCanvas("c1","c1",200,10,600,400);
c1->SetFillColor(42);
c1->SetGrid();
const Int_t n = 20;
Double_t x[n], y[n];
for (Int_t i=0;i<n;i++) {
x[i] = i*0.1;
y[i] = 10*sin(x[i]+0.2);
}
gr = new TGraph(n,x,y);
gr->SetTitle("Option ACP example");
gr->GetXaxis()->SetTitle("X title");
gr->GetYaxis()->SetTitle("Y title");
gr->Draw("ACP");
// TCanvas::Update() draws the frame, after which one can change it
c1->Update();
c1->GetFrame()->SetFillColor(21);
c1->GetFrame()->SetBorderSize(12);
c1->Modified();
}

The following macro shows the option "B" usage. It can be combined with the option "1".

{
auto c47 = new TCanvas("c47","c47",200,10,600,400);
c47->Divide(1,2);
const Int_t n = 20;
Double_t x[n], y[n];
for (Int_t i=0;i<n;i++) {
x[i] = i*0.1;
y[i] = 10*sin(x[i]+0.2)-6;
}
auto gr = new TGraph(n,x,y);
c47->cd(1); gr->Draw("AB");
c47->cd(2); gr->Draw("AB1");
}

### 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 by 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 represent 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.

TCanvas *exclusiongraph() {
TCanvas *c1 = new TCanvas("c1","Exclusion graphs examples",200,10,600,400);
c1->SetGrid();
mg->SetTitle("Exclusion graphs");
const Int_t n = 35;
Double_t xvalues1[n], xvalues2[n], xvalues3[n], yvalues1[n], yvalues2[n], yvalues3[n];
for (Int_t i=0;i<n;i++) {
xvalues1[i] = i*0.1;
xvalues2[i] = xvalues1[i];
xvalues3[i] = xvalues1[i]+.5;
yvalues1[i] = 10*sin(xvalues1[i]);
yvalues2[i] = 10*cos(xvalues1[i]);
yvalues3[i] = 10*sin(xvalues1[i])-2;
}
TGraph *gr1 = new TGraph(n,xvalues1,yvalues1);
gr1->SetLineColor(2);
gr1->SetLineWidth(1504);
gr1->SetFillStyle(3005);
TGraph *gr2 = new TGraph(n,xvalues2,yvalues2);
gr2->SetLineColor(4);
gr2->SetLineWidth(-2002);
gr2->SetFillStyle(3004);
gr2->SetFillColor(9);
TGraph *gr3 = new TGraph(n,xvalues3,yvalues3);
gr3->SetLineColor(5);
gr3->SetLineWidth(-802);
gr3->SetFillStyle(3002);
gr3->SetFillColor(2);
mg->Draw("AC");
return c1;
}

### Graphs with error bars

Three classes are available to handle graphs with error bars: TGraphErrors, TGraphAsymmErrors and TGraphBentErrors. The following drawing options are specific to graphs with error bars:

Option Description
"Z" Do not draw small horizontal and vertical lines the end of the error bars. Without "Z", the default is to draw these.
">" 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" Do not draw error bars. By default, graph classes that have errors are drawn with the errors (TGraph itself has no errors, and so this option has no effect.)
"||" Draw only the small vertical/horizontal lines at the ends of the error bars, without drawing the bars themselves. This option is interesting to superimpose statistical-only errors on top of a graph with statistical+systematic errors.
"[]" Does the same as option "||" except that it draws additional marks at the ends of the small vertical/horizontal lines. It makes plots less ambiguous 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. This option forces error bars' drawing for the data points outside the visible range along the Y axis (see example below).
"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.
"5" Error rectangles are drawn like option "2". In addition the contour line around the boxes is drawn. This can be useful when boxes' fill colors are very light or in gray scale mode.

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.

{
auto 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};
auto ge = new TGraphErrors(5, x, y, ex, ey);
ge->Draw("ap");
}

The option "0" shows the error bars for data points outside range.

{
auto c48 = new TCanvas("c48","c48",200,10,600,400);
float x[] = {1,2,3};
float err_x[] = {0,0,0};
float err_y[] = {5,5,5};
float y[] = {1,4,9};
auto tg = new TGraphErrors(3,x,y,err_x,err_y);
c48->Divide(2,1);
}

The option "3" shows the errors as a band.

{
auto 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};
auto ge = new TGraphErrors(5, x, y, ex, ey);
ge->SetFillColor(4);
ge->SetFillStyle(3010);
ge->Draw("a3");
}

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 carefully because the smoothing algorithm may show some (huge) "bouncing" effects. In some cases it looks nicer than option "3" (because it is smooth) but it can be misleading.

{
auto 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};
auto ge = new TGraphErrors(5, x, y, ex, ey);
ge->SetFillColor(6);
ge->SetFillStyle(3005);
ge->Draw("a4");
}

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

{
auto c43 = new TCanvas("c43","c43",200,10,600,400);
c43->DrawFrame(0., -0.5, 6., 2);
double x[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
double zero[5] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
// data set (1) with stat and sys errors
double py1[5] = {1.2, 1.15, 1.19, 0.9, 1.4};
double ey_stat1[5] = {0.2, 0.18, 0.17, 0.2, 0.4};
double ey_sys1[5] = {0.5, 0.71, 0.76, 0.5, 0.45};
// data set (2) with stat and sys errors
double y2[5] = {0.25, 0.18, 0.29, 0.2, 0.21};
double ey_stat2[5] = {0.2, 0.18, 0.17, 0.2, 0.4};
double ey_sys2[5] = {0.63, 0.19, 0.7, 0.2, 0.7};
// Now draw data set (1)
// We first have to draw it only with the stat errors
auto graph1 = new TGraphErrors(5, x, py1, zero, ey_stat1);
graph1->SetMarkerStyle(20);
graph1->Draw("P");
// Now we have to somehow depict the sys errors
auto graph1_sys = new TGraphErrors(5, x, py1, zero, ey_sys1);
graph1_sys->Draw("[]");
// Now draw data set (2)
// We first have to draw it only with the stat errors
auto graph2 = new TGraphErrors(5, x, y2, zero, ey_stat2);
graph2->SetMarkerStyle(24);
graph2->Draw("P");
// Now we have to somehow depict the sys errors
auto graph2_sys = new TGraphErrors(5, x, y2, zero, ey_sys2);
graph2_sys->Draw("[]");
}

#### 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.

{
auto c44 = new TCanvas("c44","c44",200,10,600,400);
double ax[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4};
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};
auto gae = new TGraphAsymmErrors(5, ax, ay, aexl, aexh, aeyl, aeyh);
gae->SetFillColor(2);
gae->SetFillStyle(3001);
gae->Draw("a2");
gae->Draw("p");
}

#### TGraphBentErrors

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

{
auto c45 = new TCanvas("c45","c45",200,10,600,400);
const Int_t n = 10;
Double_t x[n] = {-0.22, 0.05, 0.25, 0.35, 0.5, 0.61,0.7,0.85,0.89,0.95};
Double_t y[n] = {1,2.9,5.6,7.4,9,9.6,8.7,6.3,4.5,1};
Double_t exl[n] = {.05,.1,.07,.07,.04,.05,.06,.07,.08,.05};
Double_t eyl[n] = {.8,.7,.6,.5,.4,.4,.5,.6,.7,.8};
Double_t exh[n] = {.02,.08,.05,.05,.03,.03,.04,.05,.06,.03};
Double_t eyh[n] = {.6,.5,.4,.3,.2,.2,.3,.4,.5,.6};
Double_t exld[n] = {.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0};
Double_t eyld[n] = {.0,.0,.05,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0};
Double_t exhd[n] = {.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0};
Double_t eyhd[n] = {.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.0,.05,.0};
auto gr = new TGraphBentErrors(n,x,y,exl,exh,eyl,eyh,exld,exhd,eyld,eyhd);
gr->SetTitle("TGraphBentErrors Example");
gr->Draw("ALP");
}

### TGraphPolar options

The drawing options for the polar graphs are the following:

Option Description
"O" Polar labels are drawn orthogonally to the polargram radius.
"P" Polymarker are drawn at each point position.
"E" Draw error bars.
"F" Draw fill area (closed polygon).
"A" Force axis redrawing even if a polargram already exists.
"N" Disable the display of the polar labels.
{
auto c46 = new TCanvas("c46","c46",500,500);
auto grP1 = new TGraphPolar();
grP1->SetTitle("TGraphPolar example");
grP1->SetPoint(0, (1*TMath::Pi())/4., 0.05);
grP1->SetPoint(1, (2*TMath::Pi())/4., 0.10);
grP1->SetPoint(2, (3*TMath::Pi())/4., 0.15);
grP1->SetPoint(3, (4*TMath::Pi())/4., 0.20);
grP1->SetPoint(4, (5*TMath::Pi())/4., 0.25);
grP1->SetPoint(5, (6*TMath::Pi())/4., 0.30);
grP1->SetPoint(6, (7*TMath::Pi())/4., 0.35);
grP1->SetPoint(7, (8*TMath::Pi())/4., 0.40);
grP1->SetMarkerStyle(20);
grP1->SetMarkerSize(1.);
grP1->SetMarkerColor(4);
grP1->SetLineColor(4);
grP1->Draw("ALP");
// Update, otherwise GetPolargram returns 0
c46->Update();
}

### Colors automatically picked in palette

Since
ROOT version 6.09/01

When several graphs are painted in the same canvas or when a multi-graph is drawn, it might be useful to have an easy and automatic way to choose their color. The simplest way is to pick colors in the current active color palette. Palette coloring for histogram is activated thanks to the options PFC (Palette Fill Color), PLC (Palette Line Color) and PMC (Palette Marker Color). When one of these options is given to TGraph::Draw the graph get its color from the current color palette defined by gStyle->SetPalette(…). The color is determined according to the number of objects having palette coloring in the current pad.

void graphpalettecolor () {
double x[5] = {1,2,3,4,5};
double y1[5] = {1.0,2.0,1.0,2.5,3.0};
double y2[5] = {1.1,2.1,1.1,2.6,3.1};
double y3[5] = {1.2,2.2,1.2,2.7,3.2};
double y4[5] = {1.3,2.3,1.3,2.8,3.3};
double y5[5] = {1.4,2.4,1.4,2.9,3.4};
TGraph *g1 = new TGraph(5,x,y1); g1->SetTitle("Graph with a red star");
TGraph *g2 = new TGraph(5,x,y2); g2->SetTitle("Graph with a circular marker");
TGraph *g3 = new TGraph(5,x,y3); g3->SetTitle("Graph with an open square marker");
TGraph *g4 = new TGraph(5,x,y4); g4->SetTitle("Graph with a blue star");
TGraph *g5 = new TGraph(5,x,y5); g5->SetTitle("Graph with a full square marker");
g1->Draw("CA* PLC PFC");
g2->Draw("PC PLC PFC");
g3->Draw("PC PLC PFC");
g4->Draw("*C PLC PFC");
g5->Draw("PC PLC PFC");
}
void multigraphpalettecolor()
{
auto mg = new TMultiGraph();
auto gr1 = new TGraph(); gr1->SetMarkerStyle(20);
auto gr2 = new TGraph(); gr2->SetMarkerStyle(21);
auto gr3 = new TGraph(); gr3->SetMarkerStyle(23);
auto gr4 = new TGraph(); gr4->SetMarkerStyle(24);
Double_t dx = 6.28/100;
Double_t x = -3.14;
for (int i=0; i<=100; i++) {
x = x+dx;
gr1->SetPoint(i,x,2.*TMath::Sin(x));
gr2->SetPoint(i,x,TMath::Cos(x));
gr3->SetPoint(i,x,TMath::Cos(x*x));
gr4->SetPoint(i,x,TMath::Cos(x*x*x));
}
mg->Draw("A pmc plc");
}

### Reverse graphs' axis

Since
ROOT version 6.09/03

When a TGraph is drawn, the X-axis is drawn with increasing values from left to right and the Y-axis from bottom to top. The two options RX and RY allow to change this order. The option RX allows to draw the X-axis with increasing values from right to left and the RY option allows to draw the Y-axis with increasing values from top to bottom. The following example illustrate how to use these options.

{
auto c = new TCanvas();
c->Divide(2,1);
auto g = new TGraphErrors();
g->SetTitle("Simple Graph");
g->SetPoint(0,-4,-3);
g->SetPoint(1,1,1);
g->SetPoint(2,2,1);
g->SetPoint(3,3,4);
g->SetPoint(4,5,5);
g->SetPointError(0,1.,2.);
g->SetPointError(1,2,1);
g->SetPointError(2,2,3);
g->SetPointError(3,3,2);
g->SetPointError(4,4,5);
g->GetXaxis()->SetNdivisions(520);
g->SetMarkerStyle(21);
g->Draw("APL");
g->Draw("A RX RY PL");
}

### Graphs in logarithmic scale

Like histograms, graphs can be drawn in logarithmic scale along X and Y. When a pad is set to logarithmic scale with TPad::SetLogx() and/or with TPad::SetLogy() the points building the graph are converted into logarithmic scale. But only the points not the lines connecting them which stay linear. This can be clearly seen on the following example:

{
// A graph with 3 points
Double_t xmin = 750.;
Double_t xmax = 1000;
auto g = new TGraph(3);
g->SetPoint(0,xmin,0.1);
g->SetPoint(1,845,0.06504);
g->SetPoint(2,xmax,0.008);
// The same graph with n points
Int_t n = 10000;
Double_t dx = (xmax-xmin)/n;
auto g2 = new TGraph();
for (Int_t i=0; i<n; i++) {
g2->SetPoint(i, x, g->Eval(x));
x = x + dx;
}
auto cv = new TCanvas("cv","cv",800,600);
cv->SetLogy();
cv->SetGridx();
cv->SetGridy();
g->Draw("AL*");
g2->Draw("P");
}

#### Highlight mode for graph

Since
ROOT version 6.15/01
Highlight mode

Highlight mode is implemented for TGraph (and for TH1) class. When highlight mode is on, mouse movement over the point will be represented graphically. Point will be highlighted as "point circle" (presented by marker object). Moreover, any highlight (change of point) emits signal TCanvas::Highlighted() which allows the user to react and call their own function. For a better understanding please see also the tutorials $ROOTSYS/tutorials/graphs/hlGraph*.C files. Highlight mode is switched on/off by TGraph::SetHighlight() function or interactively from TGraph context menu. TGraph::IsHighlight() to verify whether the highlight mode enabled or disabled, default it is disabled. root [0] .x$ROOTSYS/tutorials/graphs/gerrors2.C
root [1] // try SetHighlight() interactively from TGraph context menu
Highlight mode for graph

See how it is used highlight mode and user function (is fully equivalent as for histogram).

NOTE all parameters of user function are taken from

void TCanvas::Highlighted(TVirtualPad *pad, TObject *obj, Int_t x, Int_t y)

• pad is pointer to pad with highlighted graph
• obj is pointer to highlighted graph
• x is highlighted x-th (i-th) point for graph
• y not in use (only for 2D histogram)

For more complex demo please see for example $ROOTSYS/tutorials/math/hlquantiles.C file.

## ◆ PaintGrapHist()

 void TGraphPainter::PaintGrapHist ( TGraph * theGraph, Int_t npoints, const Double_t * x, const Double_t * y, Option_t * chopt )
virtual

This is a service method used by THistPainter to paint 1D histograms.

It is not used to paint TGraph.

Input parameters:

• npoints : Number of points in X or in Y.
• x[npoints] or x[0] : x coordinates or (xmin,xmax).
• y[npoints] or y[0] : y coordinates or (ymin,ymax).
• chopt : Option.

The aspect of the histogram is done according to the value of the chopt.

Option Description
"R" Graph is drawn horizontally, parallel to X axis. (default is vertically, parallel to Y axis).If option R is selected the user must give 2 values for Y (y[0]=YMIN and y[1]=YMAX) or N values for X, one for each channel. Otherwise the user must give, N values for Y, one for each channel or 2 values for X (x[0]=XMIN and x[1]=XMAX)
"L" A simple polyline between every points is drawn.
"H" An Histogram with equidistant bins is drawn as a polyline.
"F" An histogram with equidistant bins is drawn as a fill area. Contour is not drawn unless chopt='H' is also selected..
"N" Non equidistant bins (default is equidistant). If N is the number of channels array X and Y must be dimensioned as follow: If option R is not selected (default) then the user must give (N+1) values for X (limits of channels) or N values for Y, one for each channel. Otherwise the user must give (N+1) values for Y (limits of channels). or N values for X, one for each channel
"F1" Idem as 'F' except that fill area base line is the minimum of the pad instead of Y=0.
"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).
"][" "Cutoff" style. When this option is selected together with H option, the first and last vertical lines of the histogram are not drawn.

## ◆ SetMaxPointsPerLine()

 void TGraphPainter::SetMaxPointsPerLine ( Int_t maxp = 50 )
static

Static function to set fgMaxPointsPerLine for graph painting.

When graphs are painted with lines, they are split into chunks of length fgMaxPointsPerLine. This allows to paint line with an "infinite" number of points. In some case this "chunks painting" technic may create artefacts at the chunk's boundaries. For instance when zooming deeply in a PDF file. To avoid this effect it might be necessary to increase the chunks' size using this function: TGraphPainter::SetMaxPointsPerLine(20000).

## ◆ Smooth()

 void TGraphPainter::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 is from an underlaying routine for Draw based on the CERN GD3 routine TVIPTE:

Author - Marlow etc. Modified by - P. Ward Date - 3.10.1973

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.

• npoints : Number of data points.
• x : Abscissa
• y : Ordinate
