Detailed Description

View in nbviewer Open in SWAN This example is a variant of hsimple.C but using a TTree instead of a TNtuple.

It shows:

  • how to fill a Tree with a few simple variables.
  • how to read this Tree
  • how to browse and analyze the Tree via the TBrowser and TTreeViewer This example can be run in many different ways:
  1. Using the Cling interpreter
    .x tree1.C
  2. Using the automatic compiler interface
    .x tree1.C++
  3. .L tree1.C or .L tree1.C++
    tree1()
    One can also run the write and read parts in two separate sessions. For example following one of the sessions above, one can start the session:
    .L tree1.C
    tree1r();
    #include "TROOT.h"
    #include "TFile.h"
    #include "TTree.h"
    #include "TBrowser.h"
    #include "TH2.h"
    #include "TRandom.h"
    void tree1w()
    {
    //create a Tree file tree1.root
    //create the file, the Tree and a few branches
    TFile f("tree1.root","recreate");
    TTree t1("t1","a simple Tree with simple variables");
    Float_t px, py, pz;
    Double_t random;
    Int_t ev;
    t1.Branch("px",&px,"px/F");
    t1.Branch("py",&py,"py/F");
    t1.Branch("pz",&pz,"pz/F");
    t1.Branch("random",&random,"random/D");
    t1.Branch("ev",&ev,"ev/I");
    //fill the tree
    for (Int_t i=0;i<10000;i++) {
    gRandom->Rannor(px,py);
    pz = px*px + py*py;
    random = gRandom->Rndm();
    ev = i;
    t1.Fill();
    }
    //save the Tree header. The file will be automatically closed
    //when going out of the function scope
    t1.Write();
    }
    void tree1r()
    {
    //read the Tree generated by tree1w and fill two histograms
    //note that we use "new" to create the TFile and TTree objects !
    //because we want to keep these objects alive when we leave this function.
    TFile *f = new TFile("tree1.root");
    TTree *t1 = (TTree*)f->Get("t1");

    //read all entries and fill the histograms
    Long64_t nentries = t1->GetEntries();
    for (Long64_t i=0;i<nentries;i++) {
    t1->GetEntry(i);
    hpx->Fill(px);
    hpxpy->Fill(px,py);
    }
    //we do not close the file. We want to keep the generated histograms
    //we open a browser and the TreeViewer
    if (gROOT->IsBatch()) return;
    new TBrowser();
    t1->StartViewer();
    // in the browser, click on "ROOT Files", then on "tree1.root".
    // you can click on the histogram icons in the right panel to draw them.
    // in the TreeViewer, follow the instructions in the Help button.
    // Allow to use the TTree after the end of the function.
    t1->ResetBranchAddresses();
