TTreeReader Class Reference

TTreeReader is a simple, robust and fast interface to read values from a TTree, TChain or TNtuple.

It uses TTreeReaderValue<T> and TTreeReaderArray<T> to access the data.

Example code can be found in tutorials/tree/hsimpleReader.C and tutorials/trees/h1analysisTreeReader.h and tutorials/trees/h1analysisTreeReader.C for a TSelector.

Roottest contains an example showing the full power.

A simpler analysis example - the one from the tutorials - can be found below: it histograms a function of the px and py branches.

// A simple TTreeReader use: read data from hsimple.root (written by hsimple.C)
#include "TFile.h
#include "TH1F.h
#include "TTreeReader.h
#include "TTreeReaderValue.h
void hsimpleReader() {
// Create a histogram for the values we read.
TH1F("h1", "ntuple", 100, -4, 4);
// Open the file containing the tree.
TFile *myFile = TFile::Open("$ROOTSYS/tutorials/hsimple.root");
// Create a TTreeReader for the tree, for instance by passing the
// TTree's name and the TDirectory / TFile it is in.
TTreeReader myReader("ntuple", myFile);
// The branch "px" contains floats; access them as myPx.
TTreeReaderValue<Float_t> myPx(myReader, "px");
// The branch "py" contains floats, too; access those as myPy.
TTreeReaderValue<Float_t> myPy(myReader, "py");
// Loop over all entries of the TTree or TChain.
while (myReader.Next()) {
// Just access the data as if myPx and myPy were iterators (note the '*'
// in front of them):
myHist->Fill(*myPx + *myPy);
}
myHist->Draw();
}

A more complete example including error handling and a few combinations of TTreeReaderValue and TTreeReaderArray would look like this:

#include <TFile.h>
#include <TH1.h>
#include <TTreeReader.h>
#include "TriggerInfo.h"
#include "Muon.h"
#include "Tau.h"
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
if (value->GetSetupStatus() < 0) {
std::cerr << "Error " << value->GetSetupStatus()
<< "setting up reader for " << value->GetBranchName() << '\n';
return false;
}
return true;
}
// Analyze the tree "MyTree" in the file passed into the function.
// Returns false in case of errors.
bool analyze(TFile* file) {
// Create a TTreeReader named "MyTree" from the given TDirectory.
// The TTreeReader gives access to the TTree to the TTreeReaderValue and
// TTreeReaderArray objects. It knows the current entry number and knows
// how to iterate through the TTree.
TTreeReader reader("MyTree", file);
// Read a single float value in each tree entries:
TTreeReaderValue<float> weight(reader, "event.weight");
if (!CheckValue(weight)) return false;
// Read a TriggerInfo object from the tree entries:
TTreeReaderValue<TriggerInfo> triggerInfo(reader, "triggerInfo");
if (!CheckValue(triggerInfo)) return false;
//Read a vector of Muon objects from the tree entries:
if (!CheckValue(muons)) return false;
//Read the pT for all jets in the tree entry:
TTreeReaderArray<double> jetPt(reader, "jets.pT");
if (!CheckValue(jetPt)) return false;
// Read the taus in the tree entry:
if (!CheckValue(taus)) return false;
// Now iterate through the TTree entries and fill a histogram.
TH1F("hist", "TTreeReader example histogram", 10, 0., 100.);
while (reader.Next()) {
// Access the TriggerInfo object as if it's a pointer.
if (!triggerInfo->hasMuonL1())
continue;
// Ditto for the vector<Muon>.
if (!muons->size())
continue;
// Access the jetPt as an array, whether the TTree stores this as
// a std::vector, std::list, TClonesArray or Jet* C-style array, with
// fixed or variable array size.
if (jetPt.GetSize() < 2 || jetPt[0] < 100)
continue;
// Access the array of taus.
if (!taus.IsEmpty()) {
// Access a float value - need to dereference as TTreeReaderValue
// behaves like an iterator
float currentWeight = *weight;
for (const Tau& tau: taus) {
hist->Fill(tau.eta(), currentWeight);
}
}
} // TTree entry / event loop
}

◆ SetEntriesRange()

TTreeReader::EEntryStatus TTreeReader::SetEntriesRange ( Long64_t  beginEntry,

Set the range of entries to be processed.

This call is usually followed by an iteration of the range using TTreeReader::Next(), which will visit the the entries from begiNEntry to endEntry - 1. If endEntry > beginEntry, this call is equivalent to SetEntry(beginEntry - 1); SetLastEntry(endEntry);. Otherwise endEntry is ignored and only beginEntry is set.

Returns

Bool_t  local 
)
protected

Load an entry into the tree, return the status of the read.

For chains, entry is the global (i.e. not tree-local) entry number, unless local is true, in which case entry specifies the entry number within the current tree. This is needed for instance for TSelector::Process().

◆ SetLastEntry()

Deprecated:
This is a very misleading interface, please read carefully:

SetLastEntry() really sets the entry that Next() will not read, i.e. the first entry number for which Next() will return kFALSE. It is equivalant to end() for iterators. This interface has been deprecated in ROOT 6.10 and will be removed in ROOT 6.12. Please use SetEntriesRange() instead.
