Detailed Description

Copy a subset of a Tree to a new Tree

The input file has been generated by the program in $ROOTSYS/test/Event with Event 1000 1 1 1.

 
#ifdef ACTUAL_RUN  // -------- Second pass: dictionary already built --------
 
#include "./Event.h"  // now safe to include Event, its dictionary is loaded
 
void run()
{
   TFile oldfile("tree108.root");
   TTree *oldtree;
   oldfile.GetObject("t4", oldtree);
 
   // Deactivate all branches
   oldtree->SetBranchStatus("*", 0);
 
   // Activate only four of them
   for (auto activeBranchName : {"event_split", "fNtrack", "fNseg", "fH"})
      oldtree->SetBranchStatus(activeBranchName, 1);
 
   // Create a new file + a clone of old tree in new file
   TFile newfile("tree110.root", "recreate");
   auto newtree = oldtree->CloneTree();
 
   newtree->Print();
   newfile.Write();
}
 
#else  // -------- First pass: build dictionary + rerun macro --------
 
void tree110_copy()
{
   TString tutdir = gROOT->GetTutorialDir();
   gROOT->ProcessLine(".L " + tutdir + "/io/tree/Event.cxx+");
