TTreeReader Class Reference

A simple, robust and fast interface to read values from ROOT columnar datasets such as TTree, TChain or TNtuple.

TTreeReader is associated to TTreeReaderValue and TTreeReaderArray which are handles to concretely access the information in the dataset.

Example code can be found in

You can generate a skeleton of TTreeReaderValue<T> and TTreeReaderArray<T> declarations for all of a tree's branches using TTree::MakeSelector().

Roottest contains an example showing the full power.

A simpler analysis example 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"
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 ROOT file is a suite of consecutive data records (TKey instances) with a well defined format.

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

// Returns false in case of errors.
bool analyze(TFile* file) {

// 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");
// Read a TriggerInfo object from the tree entries:

TTreeReader::TTreeReader ( TTree tree,
TEntryList entryList = nullptr 
)

Access data from tree.

Parameters
treeThe TTree or TChain to read from
entryListIt can be a single TEntryList with global entry numbers (supported, as an extension, also in the case of a TChain) or, if the first parameter is a TChain, a TEntryList with sub-TEntryLists with local entry numbers. In the latter case, the TEntryList must be associated to the TChain, as per chain.SetEntryList(&entryList).

◆ TTreeReader() [3/4]

TTreeReader::TTreeReader ( const char *  keyname,
TDirectory dir,

)

Access data from the tree called keyname in the directory (e.g.

TFile) dir, or the current directory if dir is NULL. If keyname cannot be found, or if it is not a TTree, IsInvalid() will return true.

Parameters
keynameThe name of the TTree to read from file
dirThe TDirectory to read keyname from
entryListIt can be a single TEntryList with global entry numbers (supported, as an extension, also in the case of a TChain) or, if the first parameter is a TChain, a TEntryList with sub-TEntryLists with local entry numbers.

inline

Definition at line 170 of file TTreeReader.h.

◆ Next()

Bool_t TTreeReader::Next ( )
inline

Move to the next entry (or index of the TEntryList if that is set).

Returns
false if the previous entry was already the last entry. This allows the function to be used in while (reader.Next()) { ... }

Definition at line 181 of file TTreeReader.h.

◆ Notify()

Bool_t TTreeReader::Notify ( )
virtual

Callback from TChain and TTree's LoadTree.

Reimplemented from TObject.

Definition at line 306 of file TTreeReader.cxx.

◆ RegisterValueReader()

Bool_t TTreeReader::RegisterValueReader ( ROOT::Internal::TTreeReaderValueBase reader)
protected

Add a value reader for this tree.

Definition at line 670 of file TTreeReader.cxx.

◆ Restart()

void TTreeReader::Restart ( )

Restart a Next() loop from entry 0 (of TEntryList index 0 of fEntryList is set).

Definition at line 448 of file TTreeReader.cxx.

◆ SetEntriesRange()

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

Set the begin and end entry numbers.

Set the range of entries to be loaded by Next(); end will not be loaded.

Parameters
beginEntryThe first entry that Next() will load.
endEntryThe entry that Next() will return kFALSE on (i.e. not load anymore).

If end <= begin, end is ignored (set to -1, i.e. will run on all entries from begin onwards).

Example:

reader.SetEntriesRange(3, 5);
while (reader.Next()) {
// Will load entries 3 and 4.
}

Note that if a TEntryList is present, beginEntry and endEntry refer to the beginEntry-th/endEntry-th entries of the TEntryList (or the main TEntryList in case it has sub-entrylists). In other words, SetEntriesRange can be used to only loop over part of the TEntryList, but not to further restrict the actual TTree/TChain entry numbers considered.

Parameters
beginEntryThe first entry to be loaded by Next().
endEntryThe entry where Next() will return kFALSE, not loading it.

Definition at line 411 of file TTreeReader.cxx.

◆ SetEntry()

EEntryStatus TTreeReader::SetEntry ( Long64_t  entry)
inline

Set the next entry (or index of the TEntryList if that is set).

Parameters
entryIf not TEntryList is set, the entry is a global entry (i.e. not the entry number local to the chain's current tree).
Returns
the entry's read status, i.e. whether the entry is available.

Definition at line 190 of file TTreeReader.h.

◆ SetEntryBase()

TTreeReader::EEntryStatus TTreeReader::SetEntryBase ( Long64_t  entry,
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().

Definition at line 507 of file TTreeReader.cxx.

◆ SetLocalEntry()

EEntryStatus TTreeReader::SetLocalEntry ( Long64_t  entry)
inline

Set the next local tree entry.

If a TEntryList is set, this function is equivalent to SetEntry().

Parameters
entryEntry number of the TChain's current TTree. This is the entry number passed for instance by TSelector::Process(entry), i.e. within TSelector::Process() always use SetLocalEntry() and not SetEntry()!
Returns
the entry's read status, i.e. whether the entry is available.

Definition at line 200 of file TTreeReader.h.

◆ SetProxies()

Bool_t TTreeReader::SetProxies ( )
protected

Tell readers we now have a tree.

fValues gets insertions during this loop (when parameterized arrays are read), invalidating iterators. Use old-school counting instead.

Definition at line 352 of file TTreeReader.cxx.

◆ SetTree() [1/3]

void TTreeReader::SetTree ( const char *  keyname,
TDirectory dir,
TEntryList entryList = nullptr 
)

Set (or update) the which tree to read from, passing the name of a tree in a directory.

Parameters
keyname- name of the tree in dir
dir- the TDirectory to load keyname from (or gDirectory if nullptr)
entryList- the TEntryList to attach to the TTreeReader.

Definition at line 658 of file TTreeReader.cxx.

◆ SetTree() [2/3]

void TTreeReader::SetTree ( const char *  keyname,
TEntryList entryList = nullptr 
)
inline

Definition at line 163 of file TTreeReader.h.

◆ SetTree() [3/3]

void TTreeReader::SetTree ( TTree tree,
TEntryList entryList = nullptr 
)

Set (or update) the which tree to read from.

tree can be a TTree or a TChain.
