Re: [ROOT] TFormula

Hello,

The SNO events are in an ASCII file. Both PAW NTuples and ROOT trees are
dumped in an ASCII file, and then used by QSNO to extract signal (people
that use PAW NTuples didn't want to convert in ROOT trees and vice-versa,
so it is the compromise). My class reads events in the ASCII file,
applies the cut and add it to a two-dimensions float array, this
information being given to another class after... If people want to define
a new cut, they add it to the dat file, and call the member function that
applies cut again.
