/** \class TObject
\ingroup Base
 
Mother of all ROOT objects.
 
The TObject class provides default behaviour and protocol for all
objects in the ROOT system. It provides protocol for object I/O,
error handling, sorting, inspection, printing, drawing, etc.
Every object which inherits from TObject can be stored in the
ROOT collection classes.
 
TObject's bits can be used as flags, bits 0 - 13 and 24-31 are
reserved as  global bits while bits 14 - 23 can be used in different
class hierarchies (watch out for overlaps).
