TTree A TTree object has a header with a name and a title. It consists of a list of independent branches (TBranch). Each branch has its own definition and list of buffers. Branch buffers may be automatically written to disk or kept in memory until the Tree attribute fMaxVirtualSize is reached. Variables of one branch are written to the same buffer. A branch buffer is automatically compressed if the file compression attribute is set (default). Branches may be written to different files (see TBranch::SetFile). The ROOT user can decide to make one single branch and serialize one object into one single I/O buffer or to make several branches. Making one single branch and one single buffer can be the right choice when one wants to process only a subset of all entries in the tree. (you know for example the list of entry numbers you want to process). Making several branches is particularly interesting in the data analysis phase, when one wants to histogram some attributes of an object (entry) without reading all the attributes. ==> TTree *tree = new TTree(name, title) Creates a Tree with name and title. Various kinds of branches can be added to a tree: A - simple structures or list of variables. (maybe for C or Fortran structures) B - any object inheriting from TObject. (expected be most frequently used) C - a ClonesArray. (a specialized object for collections of same class objects) ==> Case A TBranch *branch = tree->Branch(branchname, address, leaflist, bufsize) * address is the address of the first item of a structure * leaflist is the concatenation of all the variable names and types separated by a colon character : The variable name and the variable type are separated by a slash (/). The variable type may be 0,1 or 2 characters. If no type is given, the type of the variable is assumed to be the same as the previous variable. If the first variable does not have a type, it is assumed of type F by default. The list of currently supported types is given below: - C : a character string terminated by the 0 character - B : an 8 bit signed integer (Char_t) - b : an 8 bit unsigned integer (UChar_t) - S : a 16 bit signed integer (Short_t) - s : a 16 bit unsigned integer (UShort_t) - I : a 32 bit signed integer (Int_t) - i : a 32 bit unsigned integer (UInt_t) - F : a 32 bit floating point (Float_t) - D : a 64 bit floating point (Double_t) - L : a 64 bit signed integer (Long64_t) - l : a 64 bit unsigned integer (ULong64_t) - O : a boolean (Bool_t) * if address points to a single numerical variable, the leaflist is optional: int value; tree->Branch(branchname, &value); ==> Case B TBranch *branch = tree->Branch(branchname, &p_object, bufsize, splitlevel) TBranch *branch = tree->Branch(branchname, className, &p_object, bufsize, splitlevel) * p_object is a pointer to an object. * If className is not specified, Branch uses the type of p_object to determine the type of the object. * If className is used to specify explicitly the object type, the className must be of a type related to the one pointed to by the pointer. It should be either a parent or derived class. * if splitlevel=0, the object is serialized in the branch buffer. * if splitlevel=1 (default), this branch will automatically be split into subbranches, with one subbranch for each data member or object of the object itself. In case the object member is a TClonesArray, the mechanism described in case C is applied to this array. * if splitlevel=2 ,this branch will automatically be split into subbranches, with one subbranch for each data member or object of the object itself. In case the object member is a TClonesArray, it is processed as a TObject*, only one branch. Note: The pointer whose address is passed to TTree::Branch must not be destroyed (i.e. go out of scope) until the TTree is deleted or TTree::ResetBranchAddress is called. Note: The pointer p_object must be initialized before calling TTree::Branch Do either: MyDataClass* p_object = 0; tree->Branch(branchname, &p_object); Or MyDataClass* p_object = new MyDataClass; tree->Branch(branchname, &p_object); ==> Case C MyClass object; TBranch *branch = tree->Branch(branchname, &object, bufsize, splitlevel) Note: The 2nd parameter must be the address of a valid object. The object must not be destroyed (i.e. be deleted) until the TTree is deleted or TTree::ResetBranchAddress is called. * if splitlevel=0, the object is serialized in the branch buffer. * if splitlevel=1 (default), this branch will automatically be split into subbranches, with one subbranch for each data member or object of the object itself. In case the object member is a TClonesArray, the mechanism described in case C is applied to this array. * if splitlevel=2 ,this branch will automatically be split into subbranches, with one subbranch for each data member or object of the object itself. In case the object member is a TClonesArray, it is processed as a TObject*, only one branch. ==> Case D TBranch *branch = tree->Branch(branchname,clonesarray, bufsize, splitlevel) clonesarray is the address of a pointer to a TClonesArray. The TClonesArray is a direct access list of objects of the same class. For example, if the TClonesArray is an array of TTrack objects, this function will create one subbranch for each data member of the object TTrack. ==> Case E TBranch *branch = tree->Branch( branchname, STLcollection, buffsize, splitlevel); STLcollection is the address of a pointer to std::vector, std::list, std::deque, std::set or std::multiset containing pointers to objects. If the splitlevel is a value bigger than 100 then the collection will be written in split mode. Ie. if it contains objects of any types deriving from TTrack this function will sort the objects basing on their type and store them in separate branches in split mode. ==> branch->SetAddress(Void *address) In case of dynamic structures changing with each entry for example, one must redefine the branch address before filling the branch again. This is done via the TBranch::SetAddress member function. ==> tree->Fill() loops on all defined branches and for each branch invokes the Fill function. See also the class TNtuple (a simple Tree with branches of floats) Adding a Branch to an Existing Tree You may want to add a branch to an existing tree. For example, if one variable in the tree was computed with a certain algorithm, you may want to try another algorithm and compare the results. One solution is to add a new branch, fill it, and save the tree. The code below adds a simple branch to an existing tree. Note the kOverwrite option in the Write method, it overwrites the existing tree. If it is not specified, two copies of the tree headers are saved. void tree3AddBranch(){ TFile f("tree3.root", "update"); Float_t new_v; TTree *t3 = (TTree*)f->Get("t3"); TBranch *newBranch = t3->Branch("new_v", &new_v, "new_v/F"); //read the number of entries in the t3 Long64_t nentries = t3->GetEntries(); for (Long64_t i = 0; i < nentries; i++){ new_v= gRandom->Gaus(0, 1); newBranch->Fill(); } // save only the new version of the tree t3->Write("", TObject::kOverwrite); } Adding a branch is often not possible because the tree is in a read-only file and you do not have permission to save the modified tree with the new branch. Even if you do have the permission, you risk losing the original tree with an unsuccessful attempt to save the modification. Since trees are usually large, adding a branch could extend it over the 2GB limit. In this case, the attempt to write the tree fails, and the original data is erased. In addition, adding a branch to a tree enlarges the tree and increases the amount of memory needed to read an entry, and therefore decreases the performance. For these reasons, ROOT offers the concept of friends for trees (and chains). We encourage you to use TTree::AddFriend rather than adding a branch manually./* */

Default constructor and I/O constructor. Note: We do *not* insert ourself into the current directory.
Normal tree constructor. The tree is created in the current directory. Use the various functions Branch below to add branches to this tree. If the first character of title is a "/", the function assumes a folder name. In this case, it creates automatically branches following the folder hierarchy. splitlevel may be used in this case to control the split level.
Add a cloned tree to our list of trees to be notified whenever we change our branch addresses or when we are deleted.
Add a TFriendElement to the list of friends. This function: -opens a file if filename is specified -reads a Tree with name treename from the file (current directory) -adds the Tree to the list of friends see other AddFriend functions A TFriendElement TF describes a TTree object TF in a file. When a TFriendElement TF is added to the the list of friends of an existing TTree T, any variable from TF can be referenced in a query to T. A tree keeps a list of friends. In the context of a tree (or a chain), friendship means unrestricted access to the friends data. In this way it is much like adding another branch to the tree without taking the risk of damaging it. To add a friend to the list, you can use the TTree::AddFriend method. The tree in the diagram below has two friends (friend_tree1 and friend_tree2) and now has access to the variables a,b,c,i,j,k,l and m./* */
The AddFriend method has two parameters, the first is the tree name and the second is the name of the ROOT file where the friend tree is saved. AddFriend automatically opens the friend file. If no file name is given, the tree called ft1 is assumed to be in the same file as the original tree. tree.AddFriend("ft1","friendfile1.root"); If the friend tree has the same name as the original tree, you can give it an alias sin the context of the friendship: tree.AddFriend("tree1 = tree","friendfile1.root"); Once the tree has friends, we can use TTree::Draw as if the friend's variables were in the original tree. To specify which tree to use in the Draw method, use the syntax: <treeName>.<branchname>.<varname> If the variablename is enough to uniquely identify the variable, you can leave out the tree and/or branch name. For example, these commands generate a 3-d scatter plot of variable "var" in the TTree tree versus variable v1 in TTree ft1 versus variable v2 in TTree ft2. tree.AddFriend("ft1","friendfile1.root"); tree.AddFriend("ft2","friendfile2.root"); tree.Draw("var:ft1.v1:ft2.v2");/* */
The picture illustrates the access of the tree and its friends with a Draw command. When AddFriend is called, the ROOT file is automatically opened and the friend tree (ft1) is read into memory. The new friend (ft1) is added to the list of friends of tree. The number of entries in the friend must be equal or greater to the number of entries of the original tree. If the friend tree has fewer entries a warning is given and the missing entries are not included in the histogram. To retrieve the list of friends from a tree use TTree::GetListOfFriends. When the tree is written to file (TTree::Write), the friends list is saved with it. And when the tree is retrieved, the trees on the friends list are also retrieved and the friendship restored. When a tree is deleted, the elements of the friend list are also deleted. It is possible to declare a friend tree that has the same internal structure (same branches and leaves) as the original tree, and compare the same values by specifying the tree. tree.Draw("var:ft1.var:ft2.var")
Add a TFriendElement to the list of friends. The TFile is managed by the user (e.g. the user must delete the file). For complete description see AddFriend(const char *, const char *). This function: -reads a Tree with name treename from the file -adds the Tree to the list of friends
Add a TFriendElement to the list of friends. The TTree is managed by the user (e.g., the user must delete the file). For a complete description see AddFriend(const char *, const char *).
AutoSave tree header every fAutoSave bytes. When large Trees are produced, it is safe to activate the AutoSave procedure. Some branches may have buffers holding many entries. AutoSave is automatically called by TTree::Fill when the number of bytes generated since the previous AutoSave is greater than fAutoSave bytes. This function may also be invoked by the user, for example every N entries. Each AutoSave generates a new key on the file. Once the key with the tree header has been written, the previous cycle (if any) is deleted. Note that calling TTree::AutoSave too frequently (or similarly calling TTree::SetAutoSave with a small value) is an expensive operation. You should make tests for your own application to find a compromize between speed and the quantity of information you may loose in case of a job crash. In case your program crashes before closing the file holding this tree, the file will be automatically recovered when you will connect the file in UPDATE mode. The Tree will be recovered at the status corresponding to the last AutoSave. if option contains "SaveSelf", gDirectory->SaveSelf() is called. This allows another process to analyze the Tree while the Tree is being filled. if option contains "FlushBaskets", TTree::FlushBaskets is called and all the current basket are closed-out and written to disk individually. By default the previous header is deleted after having written the new header. if option contains "Overwrite", the previous Tree header is deleted before written the new header. This option is slightly faster, but the default option is safer in case of a problem (disk quota exceeded) when writing the new header. The function returns the number of bytes written to the file. if the number of bytes is null, an error has occured while writing the header to the file. How to write a Tree in one process and view it from another process The following two scripts illustrate how to do this. The script treew.C is executed by process1, treer.C by process2 ----- script treew.C void treew() { TFile f("test.root","recreate"); TNtuple *ntuple = new TNtuple("ntuple","Demo","px:py:pz:random:i"); Float_t px, py, pz; for ( Int_t i=0; i<10000000; i++) { gRandom->Rannor(px,py); pz = px*px + py*py; Float_t random = gRandom->Rndm(1); ntuple->Fill(px,py,pz,random,i); if (i%1000 == 1) ntuple->AutoSave("SaveSelf"); } } ----- script treer.C void treer() { TFile f("test.root"); TTree *ntuple = (TTree*)f.Get("ntuple"); TCanvas c1; Int_t first = 0; while(1) { if (first == 0) ntuple->Draw("px>>hpx", "","",10000000,first); else ntuple->Draw("px>>+hpx","","",10000000,first); first = (Int_t)ntuple->GetEntries(); c1.Update(); gSystem->Sleep(1000); //sleep 1 second ntuple->Refresh(); } }
Deprecated function. Use next function instead.
Create one branch for each element in the collection. Each entry in the collection becomes a top level branch if the corresponding class is not a collection. If it is a collection, the entry in the collection becomes in turn top level branches, etc. The splitlevel is decreased by 1 everytime a new collection is found. For example if list is a TObjArray* - if splitlevel = 1, one top level branch is created for each element of the TObjArray. - if splitlevel = 2, one top level branch is created for each array element. if, in turn, one of the array elements is a TCollection, one top level branch will be created for each element of this collection. In case a collection element is a TClonesArray, the special Tree constructor for TClonesArray is called. The collection itself cannot be a TClonesArray. The function returns the total number of branches created. If name is given, all branch names will be prefixed with name_. IMPORTANT NOTE1: This function should not be called with splitlevel < 1. IMPORTANT NOTE2: The branches created by this function will have names corresponding to the collection or object names. It is important to give names to collections to avoid misleading branch names or identical branch names. By default collections have a name equal to the corresponding class name, eg the default name for a TList is "TList". Example--------------------------------------------------------------: { TTree T("T","test list"); TList *l = new TList(); TObjArray *a1 = new TObjArray(); a1->SetName("a1"); l->Add(a1); TH1F *ha1a = new TH1F("ha1a","ha1",100,0,1); TH1F *ha1b = new TH1F("ha1b","ha1",100,0,1); a1->Add(ha1a); a1->Add(ha1b); TObjArray *b1 = new TObjArray(); b1->SetName("b1"); l->Add(b1); TH1F *hb1a = new TH1F("hb1a","hb1",100,0,1); TH1F *hb1b = new TH1F("hb1b","hb1",100,0,1); b1->Add(hb1a); b1->Add(hb1b); TObjArray *a2 = new TObjArray(); a2->SetName("a2"); l->Add(a2); TH1S *ha2a = new TH1S("ha2a","ha2",100,0,1); TH1S *ha2b = new TH1S("ha2b","ha2",100,0,1); a2->Add(ha2a); a2->Add(ha2b); T.Branch(l,16000,2); T.Print(); }
Create one branch for each element in the folder. Returns the total number of branches created.
Create a new TTree Branch. This Branch constructor is provided to support non-objects in a Tree. The variables described in leaflist may be simple variables or structures. // See the two following constructors for writing objects in a Tree. By default the branch buffers are stored in the same file as the Tree. use TBranch::SetFile to specify a different file * address is the address of the first item of a structure. * leaflist is the concatenation of all the variable names and types separated by a colon character : The variable name and the variable type are separated by a slash (/). The variable type may be 0,1 or 2 characters. If no type is given, the type of the variable is assumed to be the same as the previous variable. If the first variable does not have a type, it is assumed of type F by default. The list of currently supported types is given below: - C : a character string terminated by the 0 character - B : an 8 bit signed integer (Char_t) - b : an 8 bit unsigned integer (UChar_t) - S : a 16 bit signed integer (Short_t) - s : a 16 bit unsigned integer (UShort_t) - I : a 32 bit signed integer (Int_t) - i : a 32 bit unsigned integer (UInt_t) - F : a 32 bit floating point (Float_t) - D : a 64 bit floating point (Double_t) - L : a 64 bit signed integer (Long64_t) - l : a 64 bit unsigned integer (ULong64_t) - O : a boolean (Bool_t) By default, a variable will be copied to the buffer with the number of bytes specified in the type descriptor character. However, if the type consists of 2 characters, the second character is an integer that specifies the number of bytes to be used when copying the variable to the output buffer. Example: X ; variable X, type Float_t Y/I : variable Y, type Int_t Y/I2 ; variable Y, type Int_t converted to a 16 bits integer Note that the TTree will assume that all the item are contiguous in memory. On some platform, this is not always true of the member of a struct or a class, due to padding and alignment. Sorting your data member in order of decreasing sizeof usually leads to their being contiguous in memory. * bufsize is the buffer size in bytes for this branch The default value is 32000 bytes and should be ok for most cases. You can specify a larger value (eg 256000) if your Tree is not split and each entry is large (Megabytes) A small value for bufsize is optimum if you intend to access the entries in the Tree randomly and your Tree is in split mode.
Create a new branch with the object of class classname at address addobj. WARNING: Starting with Root version 3.01, the Branch function uses the new style branches (TBranchElement). To get the old behaviour, you can: - call BranchOld or - call TTree::SetBranchStyle(0) Note that with the new style, classname does not need to derive from TObject. It must derived from TObject if the branch style has been set to 0 (old) Note: See the comments in TBranchElement::SetAddress() for a more detailed discussion of the meaning of the addobj parameter in the case of new-style branches. Use splitlevel < 0 instead of splitlevel=0 when the class has a custom Streamer Note: if the split level is set to the default (99), TTree::Branch will not issue a warning if the class can not be split.
Create a new TTree BranchObject. Build a TBranchObject for an object of class classname. addobj is the address of a pointer to an object of class classname. IMPORTANT: classname must derive from TObject. The class dictionary must be available (ClassDef in class header). This option requires access to the library where the corresponding class is defined. Accessing one single data member in the object implies reading the full object. See the next Branch constructor for a more efficient storage in case the entry consists of arrays of identical objects. By default the branch buffers are stored in the same file as the Tree. use TBranch::SetFile to specify a different file IMPORTANT NOTE about branch names In case two or more master branches contain subbranches with identical names, one must add a "." (dot) character at the end of the master branch name. This will force the name of the subbranch to be master.subbranch instead of simply subbranch. This situation happens when the top level object (say event) has two or more members referencing the same class. For example, if a Tree has two branches B1 and B2 corresponding to objects of the same class MyClass, one can do: tree.Branch("B1.","MyClass",&b1,8000,1); tree.Branch("B2.","MyClass",&b2,8000,1); if MyClass has 3 members a,b,c, the two instructions above will generate subbranches called B1.a, B1.b ,B1.c, B2.a, B2.b, B2.c bufsize is the buffer size in bytes for this branch The default value is 32000 bytes and should be ok for most cases. You can specify a larger value (eg 256000) if your Tree is not split and each entry is large (Megabytes) A small value for bufsize is optimum if you intend to access the entries in the Tree randomly and your Tree is in split mode.
Build the optional branch supporting the TRefTable. This branch will keep all the information to find the branches containing referenced objects. At each Tree::Fill, the branch numbers containing the referenced objects are saved to the TBranchRef basket. When the Tree header is saved (via TTree::Write), the branch is saved keeping the information with the pointers to the branches having referenced objects.
Create a new TTree BranchElement. WARNING about this new function This function is designed to replace the function TTree::Branch above. This function is far more powerful than the Branch function. It supports the full C++, including STL and has the same behaviour in split or non-split mode. classname does not have to derive from TObject. The function is based on the new TStreamerInfo. Build a TBranchElement for an object of class classname. addr is the address of a pointer to an object of class classname. The class dictionary must be available (ClassDef in class header). Note: See the comments in TBranchElement::SetAddress() for a more detailed discussion of the meaning of the addr parameter. This option requires access to the library where the corresponding class is defined. Accessing one single data member in the object implies reading the full object. By default the branch buffers are stored in the same file as the Tree. use TBranch::SetFile to specify a different file IMPORTANT NOTE about branch names In case two or more master branches contain subbranches with identical names, one must add a "." (dot) character at the end of the master branch name. This will force the name of the subbranch to be master.subbranch instead of simply subbranch. This situation happens when the top level object (say event) has two or more members referencing the same class. For example, if a Tree has two branches B1 and B2 corresponding to objects of the same class MyClass, one can do: tree.Branch("B1.","MyClass",&b1,8000,1); tree.Branch("B2.","MyClass",&b2,8000,1); if MyClass has 3 members a,b,c, the two instructions above will generate subbranches called B1.a, B1.b ,B1.c, B2.a, B2.b, B2.c bufsize is the buffer size in bytes for this branch The default value is 32000 bytes and should be ok for most cases. You can specify a larger value (eg 256000) if your Tree is not split and each entry is large (Megabytes) A small value for bufsize is optimum if you intend to access the entries in the Tree randomly and your Tree is in split mode. Use splitlevel < 0 instead of splitlevel=0 when the class has a custom Streamer Note: if the split level is set to the default (99), TTree::Branch will not issue a warning if the class can not be split.
Build a Tree Index (default is TTreeIndex). See a description of the parameters and functionality in TTreeIndex::TTreeIndex(). The return value is the number of entries in the Index (< 0 indicates failure). A TTreeIndex object pointed by fTreeIndex is created. This object will be automatically deleted by the TTree destructor. See also comments in TTree::SetTreeIndex().
Build StreamerInfo for class cl. pointer is an optional argument that may contain a pointer to an object of cl.
Called by TTree::Fill() when file has reached its maximum fgMaxTreeSize. Create a new file. If the original file is named "myfile.root", subsequent files are named "myfile_1.root", "myfile_2.root", etc. Returns a pointer to the new file. Currently, the automatic change of file is restricted to the case where the tree is in the top level directory. The file should not contain sub-directories. Before switching to a new file, the tree header is written to the current file, then the current file is closed. To process the multiple files created by ChangeFile, one must use a TChain. The new file name has a suffix "_N" where N is equal to fFileNumber+1. By default a Root session starts with fFileNumber=0. One can set fFileNumber to a different value via TTree::SetFileNumber. In case a file named "_N" already exists, the function will try a file named "__N", then "___N", etc. fgMaxTreeSize can be set via the static function TTree::SetMaxTreeSize. The default value of fgMaxTreeSize is 1.9 Gigabytes. If the current file contains other objects like TH1 and TTree, these objects are automatically moved to the new file. IMPORTANT NOTE: Be careful when writing the final Tree header to the file! Don't do: TFile *file = new TFile("myfile.root","recreate"); TTree *T = new TTree("T","title"); T->Fill(); //loop file->Write(); file->Close(); but do the following: TFile *file = new TFile("myfile.root","recreate"); TTree *T = new TTree("T","title"); T->Fill(); //loop file = T->GetCurrentFile(); //to get the pointer to the current file file->Write(); file->Close();
Check whether or not the address described by the last 3 parameters matches the content of the branch. If a Data Model Evolution conversion is involved, reset the fInfo of the branch.
Create a clone of this tree and copy nentries. By default copy all entries. Note that only active branches are copied. The compression level of the cloned tree is set to the destination file's compression level. IMPORTANT: The cloned tree stays connected with this tree until this tree is deleted. In particular, any changes in branch addresses in this tree are forwarded to the clone trees, unless a branch in a clone tree has had its address changed, in which case that change stays in effect. When this tree is deleted, all the addresses of the cloned tree are reset to their default values. If 'option' contains the word 'fast' and nentries is -1 and no branch is disabled, the clone will be done without unzipping or unstreaming the baskets (i.e., a direct copy of the raw bytes on disk). When 'fast' is specified, 'option' can also contains a sorting order for the baskets in the output file. There is currently 3 supported sorting order: SortBasketsByOffset (the default) SortBasketsByBranch SortBasketsByEntry When using SortBasketsByOffset the baskets are written in the output file in the same order as in the original file (i.e. the basket are sorted on their offset in the original file; Usually this also means that the baskets are sorted on the index/number of the _last_ entry they contain) When using SortBasketsByBranch all the baskets of each individual branches are stored contiguously. This tends to optimize reading speed when reading a small number (1->5) of branches, since all their baskets will be clustered together instead of being spread across the file. However it might decrease the performance when reading more branches (or the full entry). When using SortBasketsByEntry the baskets with the lowest starting entry are written first. (i.e. the baskets are sorted on the index/number of the first entry they contain). This means that on the file the baskets will be in the order in which they will be needed when reading the whole tree sequentially. For examples of CloneTree, see tutorials: -- copytree A macro to copy a subset of a TTree to a new TTree. The input file has been generated by the program in $ROOTSYS/test/Event with: Event 1000 1 1 1 -- copytree2 A macro to copy a subset of a TTree to a new TTree. One branch of the new Tree is written to a separate file. The input file has been generated by the program in $ROOTSYS/test/Event with: Event 1000 1 1 1
Set branch addresses of passed tree equal to ours. If undo is true, reset the branch address instead of copying them. This insures 'separation' of a cloned tree from its original
Copy nentries from given tree to this tree. By default copy all entries. Returns number of bytes copied to this tree.
Copy a tree with selection. IMPORTANT: The returned copied tree stays connected with the original tree until the original tree is deleted. In particular, any changes to the branch addresses in the original tree are also made to the copied tree. Any changes made to the branch addresses of the copied tree are overridden anytime the original tree changes its branch addresses. When the original tree is deleted, all the branch addresses of the copied tree are set to zero. For examples of CopyTree, see the tutorials: copytree Example macro to copy a subset of a tree to a new tree. The input file was generated by running the program in $ROOTSYS/test/Event in this way: ./Event 1000 1 1 1 copytree2 Example macro to copy a subset of a tree to a new tree. One branch of the new tree is written to a separate file. The input file was generated by running the program in $ROOTSYS/test/Event in this way: ./Event 1000 1 1 1 copytree3 Example macro to copy a subset of a tree to a new tree. Only selected entries are copied to the new tree. NOTE that only the active branches are copied.
Delete this tree from memory or/and disk. if option == "all" delete Tree object from memory AND from disk all baskets on disk are deleted. All keys with same name are deleted. if option =="" only Tree object in memory is deleted.
Draw expression varexp for specified entries. Returns -1 in case of error or number of selected events in case of success. varexp is an expression of the general form - "e1" produces a 1-d histogram (TH1F) of expression "e1" - "e1:e2" produces an unbinned 2-d scatter-plot (TGraph) of "e1" versus "e2" - "e1:e2:e3" produces an unbinned 3-d scatter-plot (TPolyMarker3D) of "e1" versus "e2" versus "e3" - "e1:e2:e3:e4" produces an unbinned 3-d scatter-plot (TPolyMarker3D) of "e1" versus "e2" versus "e3" and "e4" mapped on the color number. (to create histograms in the 2, 3, and 4 dimesional case, see section "Saving the result of Draw to an histogram") Example: varexp = x simplest case: draw a 1-Dim distribution of column named x = sqrt(x) : draw distribution of sqrt(x) = x*y/z = y:sqrt(x) 2-Dim distribution of y versus sqrt(x) = px:py:pz:2.5*E produces a 3-d scatter-plot of px vs py ps pz and the color number of each marker will be 2.5*E. If the color number is negative it is set to 0. If the color number is greater than the current number of colors it is set to the highest color number. The default number of colors is 50. see TStyle::SetPalette for setting a new color palette. Note that the variables e1, e2 or e3 may contain a selection. example, if e1= x*(y<0), the value histogrammed will be x if y<0 and will be 0 otherwise. The expressions can use all the operations and build-in functions supported by TFormula (See TFormula::Analyze), including free standing function taking numerical arguments (TMath::Bessel). In addition, you can call member functions taking numerical arguments. For example: - "TMath::BreitWigner(fPx,3,2)" - "event.GetHistogram().GetXaxis().GetXmax()" - "event.GetTrack(fMax).GetPx() selection is an expression with a combination of the columns. In a selection all the C++ operators are authorized. The value corresponding to the selection expression is used as a weight to fill the histogram. If the expression includes only boolean operations, the result is 0 or 1. If the result is 0, the histogram is not filled. In general, the expression may be of the form: value*(boolean expression) if boolean expression is true, the histogram is filled with a weight = value. Examples: selection1 = "x<y && sqrt(z)>3.2" selection2 = "(x+y)*(sqrt(z)>3.2)" selection1 returns a weigth = 0 or 1 selection2 returns a weight = x+y if sqrt(z)>3.2 returns a weight = 0 otherwise. option is the drawing option. - See TH1::Draw for the list of all drawing options. - If option COL is specified when varexp has three fields: tree.Draw("e1:e2:e3","","col"); a 2D scatter is produced with e1 vs e2, and e3 is mapped on the color table. - If option contains the string "goff", no graphics is generated. nentries is the number of entries to process (default is all) first is the first entry to process (default is 0) This function returns the number of selected entries. It returns -1 if an error occurs. Drawing expressions using arrays and array elements Let assumes, a leaf fMatrix, on the branch fEvent, which is a 3 by 3 array, or a TClonesArray. In a TTree::Draw expression you can now access fMatrix using the following syntaxes: String passed What is used for each entry of the tree "fMatrix" the 9 elements of fMatrix "fMatrix[][]" the 9 elements of fMatrix "fMatrix[2][2]" only the elements fMatrix[2][2] "fMatrix[1]" the 3 elements fMatrix[1][0], fMatrix[1][1] and fMatrix[1][2] "fMatrix[1][]" the 3 elements fMatrix[1][0], fMatrix[1][1] and fMatrix[1][2] "fMatrix[][0]" the 3 elements fMatrix[0][0], fMatrix[1][0] and fMatrix[2][0] "fEvent.fMatrix...." same as "fMatrix..." (unless there is more than one leaf named fMatrix!). In summary, if a specific index is not specified for a dimension, TTree::Draw will loop through all the indices along this dimension. Leaving off the last (right most) dimension of specifying then with the two characters '[]' is equivalent. For variable size arrays (and TClonesArray) the range of the first dimension is recalculated for each entry of the tree. TTree::Draw also now properly handling operations involving 2 or more arrays. Let assume a second matrix fResults[5][2], here are a sample of some of the possible combinations, the number of elements they produce and the loop used: expression element(s) Loop "fMatrix[2][1] - fResults[5][2]" one no loop "fMatrix[2][] - fResults[5][2]" three on 2nd dim fMatrix "fMatrix[2][] - fResults[5][]" two on both 2nd dimensions "fMatrix[][2] - fResults[][1]" three on both 1st dimensions "fMatrix[][2] - fResults[][]" six on both 1st and 2nd dimensions of fResults "fMatrix[][2] - fResults[3][]" two on 1st dim of fMatrix and 2nd of fResults (at the same time) "fMatrix[][] - fResults[][]" six on 1st dim then on 2nd dim In summary, TTree::Draw loops through all un-specified dimensions. To figure out the range of each loop, we match each unspecified dimension from left to right (ignoring ALL dimensions for which an index has been specified), in the equivalent loop matched dimensions use the same index and are restricted to the smallest range (of only the matched dimensions). When involving variable arrays, the range can of course be different for each entry of the tree. So the loop equivalent to "fMatrix[][2] - fResults[3][]" is: for (Int_t i0; i < min(3,2); i++) { use the value of (fMatrix[i0][2] - fMatrix[3][i0]) } So the loop equivalent to "fMatrix[][2] - fResults[][]" is: for (Int_t i0; i < min(3,5); i++) { for (Int_t i1; i1 < 2; i1++) { use the value of (fMatrix[i0][2] - fMatrix[i0][i1]) } } So the loop equivalent to "fMatrix[][] - fResults[][]" is: for (Int_t i0; i < min(3,5); i++) { for (Int_t i1; i1 < min(3,2); i1++) { use the value of (fMatrix[i0][i1] - fMatrix[i0][i1]) } } Retrieving the result of Draw By default the temporary histogram created is called "htemp", but only in the one dimensional Draw("e1") it contains the TTree's data points. For a two dimensional Draw, the data is filled into a TGraph which is named "Graph". They can be retrieved by calling TH1F *htemp = (TH1F*)gPad->GetPrimitive("htemp"); // 1D TGraph *graph = (TGraph*)gPad->GetPrimitive("Graph"); // 2D For a three and four dimensional Draw the TPloyMarker3D is unnamed, and cannot be retrieved. gPad always contains a TH1 derived object called "htemp" which allows to access the axes: TGraph *graph = (TGraph*)gPad->GetPrimitive("Graph"); // 2D TH2F *htemp = (TH2F*)gPad->GetPrimitive("htemp"); // empty, but has axes TAxis *xaxis = htemp->GetXaxis(); Saving the result of Draw to an histogram If varexp0 contains >>hnew (following the variable(s) name(s), the new histogram created is called hnew and it is kept in the current directory (and also the current pad). This works for all dimensions. Example: tree.Draw("sqrt(x)>>hsqrt","y>0") will draw sqrt(x) and save the histogram as "hsqrt" in the current directory. To retrieve it do: TH1F *hsqrt = (TH1F*)gDirectory->Get("hsqrt"); The binning information is taken from the environment variables Hist.Binning.?D.? In addition, the name of the histogram can be followed by up to 9 numbers between '(' and ')', where the numbers describe the following: 1 - bins in x-direction 2 - lower limit in x-direction 3 - upper limit in x-direction 4-6 same for y-direction 7-9 same for z-direction When a new binning is used the new value will become the default. Values can be skipped. Example: tree.Draw("sqrt(x)>>hsqrt(500,10,20)") // plot sqrt(x) between 10 and 20 using 500 bins tree.Draw("sqrt(x):sin(y)>>hsqrt(100,10,60,50,.1,.5)") // plot sqrt(x) against sin(y) // 100 bins in x-direction; lower limit on x-axis is 10; upper limit is 60 // 50 bins in y-direction; lower limit on y-axis is .1; upper limit is .5 By default, the specified histogram is reset. To continue to append data to an existing histogram, use "+" in front of the histogram name. A '+' in front of the histogram name is ignored, when the name is followed by binning information as described in the previous paragraph. tree.Draw("sqrt(x)>>+hsqrt","y>0") will not reset hsqrt, but will continue filling. This works for 1-D, 2-D and 3-D histograms. Accessing collection objects TTree::Draw default's handling of collections is to assume that any request on a collection pertain to it content. For example, if fTracks is a collection of Track objects, the following: tree->Draw("event.fTracks.fPx"); will plot the value of fPx for each Track objects inside the collection. Also tree->Draw("event.fTracks.size()"); would plot the result of the member function Track::size() for each Track object inside the collection. To access information about the collection itself, TTree::Draw support the '@' notation. If a variable which points to a collection is prefixed or postfixed with '@', the next part of the expression will pertain to the collection object. For example: tree->Draw("event.@fTracks.size()"); will plot the size of the collection refered to by fTracks (i.e the number of Track objects). Drawing 'objects' When a class has a member function named AsDouble or AsString, requesting to directly draw the object will imply a call to one of the 2 functions. If both AsDouble and AsString are present, AsDouble will be used. AsString can return either a char*, a std::string or a TString.s For example, the following tree->Draw("event.myTTimeStamp"); will draw the same histogram as tree->Draw("event.myTTimeStamp.AsDouble()"); In addition, when the object is a type TString or std::string, TTree::Draw will call respectively TString::Data and std::string::c_str() If the object is a TBits, the histogram will contain the index of the bit that are turned on. Retrieving information about the tree itself. You can refer to the tree (or chain) containing the data by using the string 'This'. You can then could any TTree methods. For example: tree->Draw("This->GetReadEntry()"); will display the local entry numbers be read. tree->Draw("This->GetUserInfo()->At(0)->GetName()"); will display the name of the first 'user info' object. Special functions and variables Entry$: A TTree::Draw formula can use the special variable Entry$ to access the entry number being read. For example to draw every other entry use: tree.Draw("myvar","Entry$%2==0"); Entry$ : return the current entry number (== TTree::GetReadEntry()) LocalEntry$ : return the current entry number in the current tree of a chain (== GetTree()->GetReadEntry()) Entries$ : return the total number of entries (== TTree::GetEntries()) Length$ : return the total number of element of this formula for this entry (==TTreeFormula::GetNdata()) Iteration$: return the current iteration over this formula for this entry (i.e. varies from 0 to Length$). Length$(formula): return the total number of element of the formula given as a parameter. Sum$(formula): return the sum of the value of the elements of the formula given as a parameter. For eaxmple the mean for all the elements in one entry can be calculated with: Sum$(formula)/Length$(formula) Alt$(primary,alternate) : return the value of "primary" if it is available for the current iteration otherwise return the value of "alternate". For example, with arr1[3] and arr2[2] tree->Draw("arr1+Alt$(arr2,0)"); will draw arr1[0]+arr2[0] ; arr1[1]+arr2[1] and arr1[2]+0 Or with a variable size array arr3 tree->Draw("Alt$(arr3[0],0)+Alt$(arr3[1],0)+Alt$(arr3[2],0)"); will draw the sum arr3 for the index 0 to min(2,actual_size_of_arr3-1) As a comparison tree->Draw("arr3[0]+arr3[1]+arr3[2]"); will draw the sum arr3 for the index 0 to 2 only if the actual_size_of_arr3 is greater or equal to 3. Note that the array in 'primary' is flatened/linearilized thus using Alt$ with multi-dimensional arrays of different dimensions in unlikely to yield the expected results. To visualize a bit more what elements would be matched by TTree::Draw, TTree::Scan can be used: tree->Scan("arr1:Alt$(arr2,0)"); will print on one line the value of arr1 and (arr2,0) that will be matched by tree->Draw("arr1-Alt$(arr2,0)"); The ternary operator is not directly support in TTree::Draw however, to plot the equivalent of 'var2<20 ? -99 : var1', you can use: tree->Draw("(var2<20)*99+(var2>=20)*var1",""); Drawing a user function accessing the TTree data directly If the formula contains a file name, TTree::MakeProxy will be used to load and execute this file. In particular it will draw the result of a function with the same name as the file. The function will be executed in a context where the name of the branches can be used as a C++ variable. For example draw px using the file hsimple.root (generated by the hsimple.C tutorial), we need a file named hsimple.cxx: double hsimple() { return px; } MakeProxy can then be used indirectly via the TTree::Draw interface as follow: new TFile("hsimple.root") ntuple->Draw("hsimple.cxx"); A more complete example is available in the tutorials directory: h1analysisProxy.cxx , h1analysProxy.h and h1analysisProxyCut.C which reimplement the selector found in h1analysis.C The main features of this facility are: * on-demand loading of branches * ability to use the 'branchname' as if it was a data member * protection against array out-of-bound * ability to use the branch data as object (when the user code is available) See TTree::MakeProxy for more details. Making a Profile histogram In case of a 2-Dim expression, one can generate a TProfile histogram instead of a TH2F histogram by specyfying option=prof or option=profs. The option=prof is automatically selected in case of y:x>>pf where pf is an existing TProfile histogram. Making a parallel coordinates plot. In case of a 2-Dim or more expression with the option=para, one can generate a parallel coordinates plot. With that option, the number of dimensions is arbitrary. Giving more than 4 variables without the option=para or option=candle or option=goff will produce an error. Making a candle sticks chart. In case of a 2-Dim or more expression with the option=candle, one can generate a candle sticks chart. With that option, the number of dimensions is arbitrary. Giving more than 4 variables without the option=para or option=candle or option=goff will produce an error. Saving the result of Draw to a TEventList or a TEntryList TTree::Draw can be used to fill a TEventList object (list of entry numbers) instead of histogramming one variable. If varexp0 has the form >>elist , a TEventList object named "elist" is created in the current directory. elist will contain the list of entry numbers satisfying the current selection. If option "entrylist" is used, a TEntryList object is created Example: tree.Draw(">>yplus","y>0") will create a TEventList object named "yplus" in the current directory. In an interactive session, one can type (after TTree::Draw) yplus.Print("all") to print the list of entry numbers in the list. tree.Draw(">>yplus", "y>0", "entrylist") will create a TEntryList object names "yplus" in the current directory By default, the specified entry list is reset. To continue to append data to an existing list, use "+" in front of the list name; tree.Draw(">>+yplus","y>0") will not reset yplus, but will enter the selected entries at the end of the existing list. Using a TEventList or a TEntryList as Input Once a TEventList or a TEntryList object has been generated, it can be used as input for TTree::Draw. Use TTree::SetEventList or TTree::SetEntryList to set the current event list Example1: TEventList *elist = (TEventList*)gDirectory->Get("yplus"); tree->SetEventList(elist); tree->Draw("py"); Example2: TEntryList *elist = (TEntryList*)gDirectory->Get("yplus"); tree->SetEntryList(elist); tree->Draw("py"); If a TEventList object is used as input, a new TEntryList object is created inside the SetEventList function. In case of a TChain, all tree headers are loaded for this transformation. This new object is owned by the chain and is deleted with it, unless the user extracts it by calling GetEntryList() function. See also comments to SetEventList() function of TTree and TChain. If arrays are used in the selection critera, the entry entered in the list are all the entries that have at least one element of the array that satisfy the selection. Example: tree.Draw(">>pyplus","fTracks.fPy>0"); tree->SetEventList(pyplus); tree->Draw("fTracks.fPy"); will draw the fPy of ALL tracks in event with at least one track with a positive fPy. To select only the elements that did match the original selection use TEventList::SetReapplyCut or TEntryList::SetReapplyCut. Example: tree.Draw(">>pyplus","fTracks.fPy>0"); pyplus->SetReapplyCut(kTRUE); tree->SetEventList(pyplus); tree->Draw("fTracks.fPy"); will draw the fPy of only the tracks that have a positive fPy. Note: Use tree->SetEventList(0) if you do not want use the list as input. How to obtain more info from TTree::Draw Once TTree::Draw has been called, it is possible to access useful information still stored in the TTree object via the following functions: -GetSelectedRows() // return the number of entries accepted by the //selection expression. In case where no selection //was specified, returns the number of entries processed. -GetV1() //returns a pointer to the double array of V1 -GetV2() //returns a pointer to the double array of V2 -GetV3() //returns a pointer to the double array of V3 -GetW() //returns a pointer to the double array of Weights //where weight equal the result of the selection expression. where V1,V2,V3 correspond to the expressions in TTree::Draw("V1:V2:V3",selection); Example: Root > ntuple->Draw("py:px","pz>4"); Root > TGraph *gr = new TGraph(ntuple->GetSelectedRows(), ntuple->GetV2(), ntuple->GetV1()); Root > gr->Draw("ap"); //draw graph in current pad creates a TGraph object with a number of points corresponding to the number of entries selected by the expression "pz>4", the x points of the graph being the px values of the Tree and the y points the py values. Important note: By default TTree::Draw creates the arrays obtained with GetV1, GetV2, GetV3, GetW with a length corresponding to the parameter fEstimate. By default fEstimate=1000000 and can be modified via TTree::SetEstimate. A possible recipee is to do tree->SetEstimate(tree->GetEntries()); You must call SetEstimate if the expected number of selected rows is greater than 1000000. You can use the option "goff" to turn off the graphics output of TTree::Draw in the above example. Automatic interface to TTree::Draw via the TTreeViewer A complete graphical interface to this function is implemented in the class TTreeViewer. To start the TTreeViewer, three possibilities: - select TTree context menu item "StartViewer" - type the command "TTreeViewer TV(treeName)" - execute statement "tree->StartViewer();"
Fill all branches. This function loops on all the branches of this tree. For each branch, it copies to the branch buffer (basket) the current values of the leaves data types. If a leaf is a simple data type, a simple conversion to a machine independent format has to be done. The function returns the number of bytes committed to the individual branches. If a write error occurs, the number of bytes returned is -1. If no data are written, because, e.g., the branch is disabled, the number of bytes returned is 0.
Return the branch that correspond to the path 'branchname', which can include the name of the tree or the ommited name of the parent branches. In case of ambiguity, returns the first match.
Fit a projected item(s) from a tree. funcname is a TF1 function. See TTree::Draw() for explanations of the other parameters. By default the temporary histogram created is called htemp. If varexp contains >>hnew , the new histogram created is called hnew and it is kept in the current directory. The function returns the number of selected entries. Example: tree.Fit(pol4,sqrt(x)>>hsqrt,y>0) will fit sqrt(x) and save the histogram as "hsqrt" in the current directory. See also TTree::UnbinnedFit Return status The function returns the status of the histogram fit (see TH1::Fit) If no entries were selected, the function returns -1; (ie fitResult is null is the fit is OK)
Write to disk all the basket that have not yet been individually written. Return the number of bytes written or -1 in case of write error.
Returns the expanded value of the alias. Search in the friends if any.
Return pointer to the branch with the given name in this tree or its friends.
Return status of branch with name branchname. 0 if branch is not activated 1 if branch is activated
Return the number of entries matching the selection. Return -1 in case of errors. If the selection uses any arrays or containers, we return the number of entries where at least one element match the selection. GetEntries is implemented using the selector class TSelectorEntries, which can be used directly (see code in TTreePlayer::GetEntries) for additional option. If SetEventList was used on the TTree or TChain, only that subset of entries will be considered.
Return pointer to the 1st Leaf named name in any Branch of this Tree or any branch in the list of friend trees.
Read all branches of entry and return total number of bytes read. getall = 0 : get only active branches getall = 1 : get all branches The function returns the number of bytes read from the input buffer. If entry does not exist the function returns 0. If an I/O error occurs, the function returns -1. If the Tree has friends, also read the friends entry To activate/deactivate one or more branches, use TBranch::SetBranchStatus For example, if you have a Tree with several hundred branches, and you are interested only by branches named "u" and "v", do mytree.SetBranchStatus("*",0); //disable all branches mytree.SetBranchStatus("a",1); mytree.SetBranchStatus("b",1); when calling mytree.GetEntry(i); only branches "a" and "b" will be read. WARNING!! If your Tree has been created in split mode with a parent branch "parent", mytree.SetBranchStatus("parent",1); will not activate the sub-branches of "parent". You should do: mytree.SetBranchStatus("parent*",1); An alternative is to call directly brancha.GetEntry(i) branchb.GetEntry(i); IMPORTANT NOTE By default, GetEntry reuses the space allocated by the previous object for each branch. You can force the previous object to be automatically deleted if you call mybranch.SetAutoDelete(kTRUE) (default is kFALSE). Example: Consider the example in $ROOTSYS/test/Event.h The top level branch in the tree T is declared with: Event *event = 0; //event must be null or point to a valid object //it must be initialized T.SetBranchAddress("event",&event); When reading the Tree, one can choose one of these 3 options: OPTION 1 for (Long64_t i=0;i<nentries;i++) { T.GetEntry(i); // the object event has been filled at this point } The default (recommended). At the first entry an object of the class Event will be created and pointed by event. At the following entries, event will be overwritten by the new data. All internal members that are TObject* are automatically deleted. It is important that these members be in a valid state when GetEntry is called. Pointers must be correctly initialized. However these internal members will not be deleted if the characters "->" are specified as the first characters in the comment field of the data member declaration. If "->" is specified, the pointer member is read via pointer->Streamer(buf). In this case, it is assumed that the pointer is never null (case of pointer TClonesArray *fTracks in the Event example). If "->" is not specified, the pointer member is read via buf >> pointer. In this case the pointer may be null. Note that the option with "->" is faster to read or write and it also consumes less space in the file. OPTION 2 The option AutoDelete is set TBranch *branch = T.GetBranch("event"); branch->SetAddress(&event); branch->SetAutoDelete(kTRUE); for (Long64_t i=0;i<nentries;i++) { T.GetEntry(i); // the object event has been filled at this point } In this case, at each iteration, the object event is deleted by GetEntry and a new instance of Event is created and filled. OPTION 3 Same as option 1, but you delete yourself the event. for (Long64_t i=0;i<nentries;i++) { delete event; event = 0; // EXTREMELY IMPORTANT T.GetEntry(i); // the object event has been filled at this point } It is strongly recommended to use the default option 1. It has the additional advantage that functions like TTree::Draw (internally calling TTree::GetEntry) will be functional even when the classes in the file are not available.
Return entry number corresponding to entry. if no TEntryList set returns entry else returns the entry number corresponding to the list index=entry
Return entry number corresponding to major and minor number. Note that this function returns only the entry number, not the data To read the data corresponding to an entry number, use TTree::GetEntryWithIndex the BuildIndex function has created a table of Long64_t* of sorted values corresponding to val = major<<31 + minor; The function performs binary search in this sorted table. If it finds a pair that maches val, it returns directly the index in the table. If an entry corresponding to major and minor is not found, the function returns the index of the major,minor pair immediatly lower than the requested value, ie it will return -1 if the pair is lower than the first entry in the index. See also GetEntryNumberWithIndex
Return entry number corresponding to major and minor number. Note that this function returns only the entry number, not the data To read the data corresponding to an entry number, use TTree::GetEntryWithIndex the BuildIndex function has created a table of Long64_t* of sorted values corresponding to val = major<<31 + minor; The function performs binary search in this sorted table. If it finds a pair that maches val, it returns directly the index in the table, otherwise it returns -1. See also GetEntryNumberWithBestIndex
Read entry corresponding to major and minor number. The function returns the total number of bytes read. If the Tree has friend trees, the corresponding entry with the index values (major,minor) is read. Note that the master Tree and its friend may have different entry serial numbers corresponding to (major,minor).
Return a pointer to the TTree friend whose name or alias is 'friendname.
If the the 'tree' is a friend, this method returns its alias name. This alias is an alternate name for the tree. It can be used in conjunction with a branch or leaf name in a TTreeFormula, to specify in which particular tree the branch or leaf can be found if the friend trees have branches or leaves with the same name as the master tree. It can also be used in conjunction with an alias created using TTree::SetAlias in a TTreeFormula, e.g.: maintree->Draw("treealias.fPx - treealias.myAlias"); where fPx is a branch of the friend tree aliased as 'treealias' and 'myAlias' was created using TTree::SetAlias on the friend tree. However, note that 'treealias.myAlias' will be expanded literally, without remembering that it comes from the aliased friend and thus the branch name might not be disambiguated properly, which means that you may not be able to take advantage of this feature.
Creates a new iterator that will go through all the leaves on the tree itself and its friend.
Return pointer to the 1st Leaf named name in any Branch of this Tree or any branch in the list of friend trees. aname may be of the form branchname/leafname
Return name corresponding to colindex in varexp. varexp is a string of names separated by : index is an array with pointers to the start of name[i] in varexp
Return a pointer to the list containing user objects associated to this tree. The list is automatically created if it does not exist. WARNING: By default the TTree destructor will delete all objects added to this list. If you do not want these objects to be deleted, call: mytree->GetUserInfo()->Clear(); before deleting the tree.
Read in memory all baskets from all branches up to the limit of maxmemory bytes. If maxmemory is non null and positive SetMaxVirtualSize is called with this value. Default for maxmemory is 2000000000 (2 Gigabytes). The function returns the total number of baskets read into memory if negative an error occured while loading the branches. This method may be called to force branch baskets in memory when random access to branch entries is required. If random access to only a few branches is required, you should call directly TBranch::LoadBaskets.
Load entry on behalf of our master tree, we may use an index. Called by LoadTree() when the masterTree looks for the entry number in a friend tree (us) corresponding to the passed entry number in the masterTree. If we have no index, our entry number and the masterTree entry number are the same. If we *do* have an index, we must find the (major, minor) value pair in masterTree to locate our corresponding entry.
Generate a skeleton analysis class for this tree. The following files are produced: classname.h and classname.C. If classname is 0, classname will be called "nameoftree". The generated code in classname.h includes the following: - Identification of the original tree and the input file name. - Definition of an analysis class (data members and member functions). - The following member functions: - constructor (by default opening the tree file), - GetEntry(Long64_t entry), - Init(TTree* tree) to initialize a new TTree, - Show(Long64_t entry) to read and dump entry. The generated code in classname.C includes only the main analysis function Loop. To use this function: - Open your tree file (eg: TFile f("myfile.root");) - T->MakeClass("MyClass"); where T is the name of the TTree in file myfile.root, and MyClass.h, MyClass.C the name of the files created by this function. In a ROOT session, you can do: root > .L MyClass.C root > MyClass* t = new MyClass; root > t->GetEntry(12); // Fill data members of t with entry number 12. root > t->Show(); // Show values of entry 12. root > t->Show(16); // Read and show values of entry 16. root > t->Loop(); // Loop on all entries. NOTE: Do not use the code generated for a single TTree which is part of a TChain to process that entire TChain. The maximum dimensions calculated for arrays on the basis of a single TTree from the TChain might be (will be!) too small when processing all of the TTrees in the TChain. You must use myChain.MakeClass() to generate the code, not myTree.MakeClass(...).
Generate a skeleton function for this tree. The function code is written on filename. If filename is 0, filename will be called nameoftree.C The generated code includes the following: - Identification of the original Tree and Input file name, - Opening the Tree file, - Declaration of Tree variables, - Setting of branches addresses, - A skeleton for the entry loop. To use this function: - Open your Tree file (eg: TFile f("myfile.root");) - T->MakeCode("MyAnalysis.C"); where T is the name of the TTree in file myfile.root and MyAnalysis.C the name of the file created by this function. NOTE: Since the implementation of this function, a new and better function TTree::MakeClass() has been developed.
Generate a skeleton analysis class for this Tree using TBranchProxy. TBranchProxy is the base of a class hierarchy implementing an indirect access to the content of the branches of a TTree. "proxyClassname" is expected to be of the form: [path/]fileprefix The skeleton will then be generated in the file: fileprefix.h located in the current directory or in 'path/' if it is specified. The class generated will be named 'fileprefix' "macrofilename" and optionally "cutfilename" are expected to point to source files which will be included by the generated skeleton. Method of the same name as the file(minus the extension and path) will be called by the generated skeleton's Process method as follow: [if (cutfilename())] htemp->Fill(macrofilename()); "option" can be used select some of the optional features during the code generation. The possible options are: nohist : indicates that the generated ProcessFill should not fill the histogram. 'maxUnrolling' controls how deep in the class hierachy does the system 'unroll' classes that are not split. Unrolling a class allows direct access to its data members (this emulates the behavior of TTreeFormula). The main features of this skeleton are: * on-demand loading of branches * ability to use the 'branchname' as if it was a data member * protection against array out-of-bounds errors * ability to use the branch data as an object (when the user code is available) For example with Event.root, if Double_t somePx = fTracks.fPx[2]; is executed by one of the method of the skeleton, somePx will updated with the current value of fPx of the 3rd track. Both macrofilename and the optional cutfilename are expected to be the name of source files which contain at least a free standing function with the signature: x_t macrofilename(); // i.e function with the same name as the file and y_t cutfilename(); // i.e function with the same name as the file x_t and y_t needs to be types that can convert respectively to a double and a bool (because the skeleton uses: if (cutfilename()) htemp->Fill(macrofilename()); These two functions are run in a context such that the branch names are available as local variables of the correct (read-only) type. Note that if you use the same 'variable' twice, it is more efficient to 'cache' the value. For example Int_t n = fEventNumber; // Read fEventNumber if (n<10 || n>10) { ... } is more efficient than if (fEventNumber<10 || fEventNumber>10) Also, optionally, the generated selector will also call methods named macrofilename_methodname in each of 6 main selector methods if the method macrofilename_methodname exist (Where macrofilename is stripped of its extension). Concretely, with the script named h1analysisProxy.C, The method calls the method (if it exist) Begin -> void h1analysisProxy_Begin(TTree*); SlaveBegin -> void h1analysisProxy_SlaveBegin(TTree*); Notify -> Bool_t h1analysisProxy_Notify(); Process -> Bool_t h1analysisProxy_Process(Long64_t); SlaveTerminate -> void h1analysisProxy_SlaveTerminate(); Terminate -> void h1analysisProxy_Terminate(); If a file name macrofilename.h (or .hh, .hpp, .hxx, .hPP, .hXX) exist it is included before the declaration of the proxy class. This can be used in particular to insure that the include files needed by the macro file are properly loaded. The default histogram is accessible via the variable named 'htemp'. If the library of the classes describing the data in the branch is loaded, the skeleton will add the needed #include statements and give the ability to access the object stored in the branches. To draw px using the file hsimple.root (generated by the hsimple.C tutorial), we need a file named hsimple.cxx: double hsimple() { return px; } MakeProxy can then be used indirectly via the TTree::Draw interface as follow: new TFile("hsimple.root") ntuple->Draw("hsimple.cxx"); A more complete example is available in the tutorials directory: h1analysisProxy.cxx , h1analysProxy.h and h1analysisProxyCut.C which reimplement the selector found in h1analysis.C
Generate skeleton selector class for this tree. The following files are produced: selector.h and selector.C. If selector is 0, the selector will be called "nameoftree". The generated code in selector.h includes the following: - Identification of the original Tree and Input file name - Definition of selector class (data and functions) - The following class functions: - constructor and destructor - void Begin(TTree *tree) - void SlaveBegin(TTree *tree) - void Init(TTree *tree) - Bool_t Notify() - Bool_t Process(Long64_t entry) - void Terminate() - void SlaveTerminate() The class selector derives from TSelector. The generated code in selector.C includes empty functions defined above. To use this function: - connect your Tree file (eg: TFile f("myfile.root");) - T->MakeSelector("myselect"); where T is the name of the Tree in file myfile.root and myselect.h, myselect.C the name of the files created by this function. In a ROOT session, you can do: root > T->Process("myselect.C")
Interface to the Principal Components Analysis class. Create an instance of TPrincipal Fill it with the selected variables if option "n" is specified, the TPrincipal object is filled with normalized variables. If option "p" is specified, compute the principal components If option "p" and "d" print results of analysis If option "p" and "h" generate standard histograms If option "p" and "c" generate code of conversion functions return a pointer to the TPrincipal object. It is the user responsability to delete this object. The option default value is "np" see TTree::Draw for explanation of the other parameters. The created object is named "principal" and a reference to it is added to the list of specials Root objects. you can retrieve a pointer to the created object via: TPrincipal *principal = (TPrincipal*)gROOT->GetListOfSpecials()->FindObject("principal");
Print a summary of the tree contents. If option contains "all" friend trees are also printed. If option contains "toponly" only the top level branches are printed. Wildcarding can be used to print only a subset of the branches, e.g., T.Print("Elec*") will print all branches with name starting with "Elec".
Process this tree executing the TSelector code in the specified filename. The return value is -1 in case of error and TSelector::GetStatus() in in case of success. The code in filename is loaded (interpreted or compiled, see below), filename must contain a valid class implementation derived from TSelector, where TSelector has the following member functions: Begin(): called everytime a loop on the tree starts, a convenient place to create your histograms. SlaveBegin(): called after Begin(), when on PROOF called only on the slave servers. Process(): called for each event, in this function you decide what to read and fill your histograms. SlaveTerminate: called at the end of the loop on the tree, when on PROOF called only on the slave servers. Terminate(): called at the end of the loop on the tree, a convenient place to draw/fit your histograms. If filename is of the form file.C, the file will be interpreted. If filename is of the form file.C++, the file file.C will be compiled and dynamically loaded. If filename is of the form file.C+, the file file.C will be compiled and dynamically loaded. At next call, if file.C is older than file.o and file.so, the file.C is not compiled, only file.so is loaded. NOTE1 It may be more interesting to invoke directly the other Process function accepting a TSelector* as argument.eg MySelector *selector = (MySelector*)TSelector::GetSelector(filename); selector->CallSomeFunction(..); mytree.Process(selector,..); NOTE2 One should not call this function twice with the same selector file in the same script. If this is required, proceed as indicated in NOTE1, by getting a pointer to the corresponding TSelector,eg workaround 1 void stubs1() { TSelector *selector = TSelector::GetSelector("h1test.C"); TFile *f1 = new TFile("stubs_nood_le1.root"); TTree *h1 = (TTree*)f1->Get("h1"); h1->Process(selector); TFile *f2 = new TFile("stubs_nood_le1_coarse.root"); TTree *h2 = (TTree*)f2->Get("h1"); h2->Process(selector); } or use ACLIC to compile the selector workaround 2 void stubs2() { TFile *f1 = new TFile("stubs_nood_le1.root"); TTree *h1 = (TTree*)f1->Get("h1"); h1->Process("h1test.C+"); TFile *f2 = new TFile("stubs_nood_le1_coarse.root"); TTree *h2 = (TTree*)f2->Get("h1"); h2->Process("h1test.C+"); }
Process this tree executing the code in the specified selector. The return value is -1 in case of error and TSelector::GetStatus() in in case of success. The TSelector class has the following member functions: Begin(): called everytime a loop on the tree starts, a convenient place to create your histograms. SlaveBegin(): called after Begin(), when on PROOF called only on the slave servers. Process(): called for each event, in this function you decide what to read and fill your histograms. SlaveTerminate: called at the end of the loop on the tree, when on PROOF called only on the slave servers. Terminate(): called at the end of the loop on the tree, a convenient place to draw/fit your histograms. If the Tree (Chain) has an associated EventList, the loop is on the nentries of the EventList, starting at firstentry, otherwise the loop is on the specified Tree entries.
Make a projection of a tree using selections. Depending on the value of varexp (described in Draw) a 1-D, 2-D, etc., projection of the tree will be filled in histogram hname. Note that the dimension of hname must match with the dimension of varexp.
Loop over entries and return a TSQLResult object containing entries following selection.
Create or simply read branches from filename. if branchDescriptor = "" (default), it is assumed that the Tree descriptor is given in the first line of the file with a syntax like A/D:Table[2]/F:Ntracks/I:astring/C otherwise branchDescriptor must be specified with the above syntax. -If the type of the first variable is not specified, it is assumed to be "/F" -if the type of any other variable is not specified, the type of the previous variable is assumed. eg x:y:z (all variables are assumed of type "F" x/D:y:z (all variables are of type "D" x:y/D:z (x is type "F", y and z of type "D" -If the type is a string of characters. This will read subsequent characters until a whitespace is found (whitespace characters are considered to be blank, newline and tab). Lines in the input file starting with "#" are ignored. This function will read and ignore any whitespace characters (this includes blank spaces and the newline and tab characters). A TBranch object is created for each variable in the expression. The total number of rows read from the file is returned. FILLING a TTree WITH MULTIPLE INPUT TEXT FILES To fill a TTree with multiple input text files, proceed as indicated above for the first input file and omit the second argument for subsequent calls T.ReadFile("file1.dat","branch descriptor"); T.ReadFile("file2.dat");
Make sure that obj (which is being deleted or will soon be) is no longer referenced by this TTree.
Refresh contents of this tree and its branches from the current status on disk. One can call this function in case the tree file is being updated by another process.
Reset baskets, buffers and entries count in all branches and leaves.
Tell all of our branches to set their addresses to zero. Note: If any of our branches own any objects, they are deleted.
Tell all of our branches to drop their current objects and allocate new ones.
Loop over tree entries and print entries passing selection. If varexp is 0 (or "") then print only first 8 columns. If varexp = "*" print all columns. Otherwise a columns selection can be made using "var1:var2:var3". See TTreePlayer::Scan for more information
Set a tree variable alias. Set an alias for an expression/formula based on the tree 'variables'. The content of 'aliasName' can be used in TTreeFormula (i.e. TTree::Draw, TTree::Scan, TTreeViewer) and will be evaluated as the content of 'aliasFormula'. If the content of 'aliasFormula' only contains symbol names, periods and array index specification (for example event.fTracks[3]), then the content of 'aliasName' can be used as the start of symbol. If the alias 'aliasName' already existed, it is replaced by the new value. When being used, the alias can be preceded by an eventual 'Friend Alias' (see TTree::GetFriendAlias) Return true if it was added properly. For example: tree->SetAlias("x1","(tdc1[1]-tdc1[0])/49"); tree->SetAlias("y1","(tdc1[3]-tdc1[2])/47"); tree->SetAlias("x2","(tdc2[1]-tdc2[0])/49"); tree->SetAlias("y2","(tdc2[3]-tdc2[2])/47"); tree->Draw("y2-y1:x2-x1"); tree->SetAlias("theGoodTrack","event.fTracks[3]"); tree->Draw("theGoodTrack.fPx"); // same as "event.fTracks[3].fPx"
Set a branch's basket size. bname is the name of a branch. if bname="*", apply to all branches. if bname="xxx*", apply to all branches with name starting with xxx see TRegexp for wildcarding options buffsize = branc basket size
Change branch address, dealing with clone trees properly. Note: See the comments in TBranchElement::SetAddress() for the meaning of the addr parameter.
Verify the validity of the type of addr before calling SetBranchAddress. Note: See the comments in TBranchElement::SetAddress() for the meaning of the addr parameter.
Verify the validity of the type of addr before calling SetBranchAddress. Note: See the comments in TBranchElement::SetAddress() for the meaning of the addr parameter.
Set branch status to Process or DoNotProcess. When reading a Tree, by default, all branches are read. One can speed up considerably the analysis phase by activating only the branches that hold variables involved in a query. bname is the name of a branch. if bname="*", apply to all branches. if bname="xxx*", apply to all branches with name starting with xxx see TRegexp for wildcarding options status = 1 branch will be processed = 0 branch will not be processed Example: Assume a tree T with sub-branches a,b,c,d,e,f,g,etc.. when doing T.GetEntry(i) all branches are read for entry i. to read only the branches c and e, one can do T.SetBranchStatus("*",0); //disable all branches T.SetBranchStatus("c",1); T.setBranchStatus("e",1); T.GetEntry(i); WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! SetBranchStatus is matching the branch based on regular expression match of the branch 'name' and not on the branch hierarchy! In order to be able to selectively enable a top level object that is 'split' you need to make sure the name of the top level branch is prefixed to the sub-branches' name(by adding a dot ('.') at the end of the Branch creation and use the corresponding regular expression. I.e If your Tree has been created in split mode with a parent branch "parent." (note the trailing dot). T.SetBranchStatus("parent",1); will not activate the sub-branches of "parent". You should do: T.SetBranchStatus("parent*",1); Without the trailing dot in the branch creation you have no choice but to call SetBranchStatus explicitly for each of the sub branches. An alternative to this function is to read directly and only the interesting branches. Example: TBranch *brc = T.GetBranch("c"); TBranch *bre = T.GetBranch("e"); brc->GetEntry(i); bre->GetEntry(i); If found is not 0, the number of branch(es) found matching the regular expression is returned in *found AND the error message 'unknown branch' is suppressed.
Set maximum size of the file cache (default is 10000000, i.e., 10 MB). if cachesize <= 0 the existing cache (if any) is deleted WARNING: Currently only ONE TTree object can be 'cached' per TFile object. This call disable the cache for the other TTree objects read from the same TFile object as this TTree (The SetCacheSize called __last__ wins). To cache multiple TTree objects in the same ROOT file, you must create one TFile object per TTree object.
Enable/Disable circularity for this tree. if maxEntries > 0 a maximum of maxEntries is kept in one buffer/basket per branch in memory. Note that when this function is called (maxEntries>0) the Tree must be empty or having only one basket per branch. if maxEntries <= 0 the tree circularity is disabled. NOTE 1: Circular Trees are interesting in online real time environments to store the results of the last maxEntries events. NOTE 2: Calling SetCircular with maxEntries <= 0 is necessary before merging circular Trees that have been saved on files. NOTE 3: SetCircular with maxEntries <= 0 is automatically called by TChain::Merge NOTE 4: A circular Tree can still be saved in a file. When read back, it is still a circular Tree and can be filled again.
Set the debug level and the debug range. For entries in the debug range, the functions TBranchElement::Fill and TBranchElement::GetEntry will print the number of bytes filled or read for each branch.
Change the tree's directory. Remove reference to this tree from current directory and add reference to new directory dir. The dir parameter can be 0 in which case the tree does not belong to any directory.
Change number of entries in the tree. If n >= 0, set number of entries in the tree = n. If n < 0, set number of entries in the tree to match the number of entries in each branch. (default for n is -1) This function should be called only when one fills each branch independently via TBranch::Fill without calling TTree::Fill. Calling TTree::SetEntries() make sense only if the number of entries in each branch is identical, a warning is issued otherwise. The function returns the number of entries.
This function transfroms the given TEventList into a TEntryList The new TEntryList is owned by the TTree and gets deleted when the tree is deleted. This TEntryList can be returned by GetEntryList() function.
Set fFileNumber to number. fFileNumber is used by TTree::Fill to set the file name for a new file to be created when the current file exceeds fgTreeMaxSize. (see TTree::ChangeFile) if fFileNumber=10, the new file name will have a suffix "_11", ie, fFileNumber is incremented before setting the file name
Set the maximum size of a Tree file (static function). In TTree::Fill, when the file has a size > fgMaxTreeSize, the function closes the current file and starts writing into a new file with a name of the style "file_1.root" if the original requested file name was "file.root".
The current TreeIndex is replaced by the new index. Note that this function does not delete the previous index. This gives the possibility to play with more than one index, e.g., TVirtualIndex* oldIndex = tree.GetTreeIndex(); tree.SetTreeIndex(newIndex); tree.Draw(); tree.SetTreeIndex(oldIndex); tree.Draw(); etc
Set tree weight. The weight is used by TTree::Draw to automatically weight each selected entry in the resulting histogram. For example the equivalent of: T.Draw("x", "w") is: T.SetWeight(w); T.Draw("x"); This function is redefined by TChain::SetWeight. In case of a TChain, an option "global" may be specified to set the same weight for all trees in the TChain instead of the default behaviour using the weights of each tree in the chain (see TChain::SetWeight).
Print values of all active leaves for entry. if entry==-1, print current entry (default) if a leaf is an array, a maximum of lenmax elements is printed.
Start the TTreeViewer on this tree. ww is the width of the canvas in pixels wh is the height of the canvas in pixels
Unbinned fit of one or more variable(s) from a tree. funcname is a TF1 function. See TTree::Draw for explanations of the other parameters. Fit the variable varexp using the function funcname using the selection cuts given by selection. The list of fit options is given in parameter option. option = "Q" Quiet mode (minimum printing) = "V" Verbose mode (default is between Q and V) = "E" Perform better Errors estimation using Minos technique = "M" More. Improve fit results You can specify boundary limits for some or all parameters via func->SetParLimits(p_number, parmin, parmax); if parmin>=parmax, the parameter is fixed Note that you are not forced to fix the limits for all parameters. For example, if you fit a function with 6 parameters, you can do: func->SetParameters(0,3.1,1.e-6,0.1,-8,100); func->SetParLimits(4,-10,-4); func->SetParLimits(5, 1,1); With this setup, parameters 0->3 can vary freely Parameter 4 has boundaries [-10,-4] with initial value -8 Parameter 5 is fixed to 100. For the fit to be meaningful, the function must be self-normalized. i.e. It must have the same integral regardless of the parameter settings. Otherwise the fit will effectively just maximize the area. It is mandatory to have a normalization variable which is fixed for the fit. e.g. TF1* f1 = new TF1("f1", "gaus(0)/sqrt(2*3.14159)/[2]", 0, 5); f1->SetParameters(1, 3.1, 0.01); f1->SetParLimits(0, 1, 1); // fix the normalization parameter to 1 data->UnbinnedFit("f1", "jpsimass", "jpsipt>3.0"); 1, 2 and 3 Dimensional fits are supported. See also TTree::Fit Return status The function return the status of the fit in the following form fitResult = migradResult + 10*minosResult + 100*hesseResult + 1000*improveResult The fitResult is 0 is the fit is OK. The fitResult is negative in case of an error not connected with the fit. The number of entries used in the fit can be obtained via mytree.GetSelectedRows(); If the number of selected entries is null the function returns -1
GetMakeClass is left non-virtual for efficiency reason. Making it virtual affects the performance of the I/O
{ return fMakeClass; }
