Detailed Description

Demo of Timers.

Simple example illustrating how to use the C++ interpreter to fill histograms in a loop and show the graphics results This program is a variant of the tutorial "hsum". It illustrates the use of Timers.

Float_t ratio;
TSlider *slider;
TCanvas *c1;

void hsumUpdate()
{
// called when Timer times out
   if (slider) slider->SetRange(0, ::ratio);
   c1->Modified();
   c1->Update();
}

void hsumTimer(Int_t nfill=100000)
{
  c1 = new TCanvas("c1","The HSUM example",200,10,600,400);
  c1->SetGrid();


// Create some histograms.
  total  = new TH1F("total","This is the total distribution",100,-4,4);
  main   = new TH1F("main","Main contributor",100,-4,4);
  s1     = new TH1F("s1","This is the first signal",100,-4,4);
  s2     = new TH1F("s2","This is the second signal",100,-4,4);
  total->Sumw2();   // store the sum of squares of weights
  total->SetMarkerStyle(21);
  total->SetMarkerSize(0.7);
  main->SetFillColor(16);
  s1->SetFillColor(42);
  s2->SetFillColor(46);
  total->SetMaximum(nfill/20.);
  total->Draw("e1p");
  main->Draw("same");
  s1->Draw("same");
  s2->Draw("same");
  c1->Update();slider = new TSlider("slider",
     "test",4.2,0,4.6,0.8*total->GetMaximum(),38);
  slider->SetFillColor(46);

// Create a TTimer (hsumUpdate called every 300 msec)
  TTimer timer("hsumUpdate()",300);
  timer.TurnOn();

 // Fill histograms randomly
  Float_t xs1, xs2, xmain;
  gRandom->SetSeed();
  for (Int_t i=0; i<nfill; i++) {
     ::ratio = Float_t(i)/Float_t(nfill);
     if (gSystem->ProcessEvents()) break;
     xmain = gRandom->Gaus(-1,1.5);
     xs1   = gRandom->Gaus(-0.5,0.5);
     xs2   = gRandom->Landau(1,0.15);
     main->Fill(xmain);
     s1->Fill(xs1,0.3);
     s2->Fill(xs2,0.2);
     total->Fill(xmain);
     total->Fill(xs1,0.3);
     total->Fill(xs2,0.2);
  }
  timer.TurnOff();
  hsumUpdate();
}
