Detailed Description

Using Pythia6 with ROOT.

To make an event sample (of size 100) do

shell> root
root [0] .L pythiaExample.C
root [1] makeEventSample(1000)

To start the tree view on the generated tree, do

shell> root
root [0] .L pythiaExample.C
root [1] showEventSample()

The following session:

shell> root
root [0] .x pythiaExample.C(500)

will execute makeEventSample(500) and showEventSample()

Alternatively, you can compile this to a program and then generate 1000 events with

./pythiaExample 1000

To use the program to start the viewer, do

./pythiaExample -1

NOTE 1: To run this example, you must have a version of ROOT compiled with the Pythia6 version enabled and have Pythia6 installed. The statement gSystem->Load("$HOME/pythia6/libPythia6"); (see below) assumes that the directory containing the Pythia6 library is in the pythia6 subdirectory of your $HOME. Locations that can specify this, are:

Root.DynamicPath resource in your ROOT configuration file
(/etc/root/system.rootrc or ~/.rootrc).
Runtime load paths set on the executable (Using GNU ld,
specified with flag `-rpath').
Dynamic loader search path as specified in the loaders
configuration file (On GNU/Linux this file is
etc/ld.so.conf).
For Un*x: Any directory mentioned in LD_LIBRARY_PATH
For Windows: Any directory mentioned in PATH
Namespace for new ROOT classes and functions.

NOTE 2: The example can also be run with ACLIC:

root > gSystem->Load("libEG");
root > gSystem->Load("$ROOTSYS/../pythia6/libPythia6"); //change to your setup
root > gSystem->Load("libEGPythia6");
root > .x pythiaExample.C+
