Re: [ROOT] Retrieve the formula expression from a TFormula

Hi,

My question was not very clear... sorry

I've in a ROOT file a TF1 object that has been created using an user
defined TFormula. I mean that the formula of the TF1 object
(TNamed::fTitle) contains the TNamed::fName of an user define TFormula
object. This TF1 object has been compiled and has been written in a ROOT
file. Now I have to open the ROOT file, load the TF1 object and retrieve 
its
formula. The formula is stored in the TFormula object tables of the TF1
object and the TNamed::fTitle member variable contains the TFormula
object name (this TFormula object doesn't exist anymore because only the
TF1 object is contained in the ROOT file).

I want to get the mathematical expression of the function contained in the
TF1 object, expression that doesn't depend on a TFormula object name. It's
not a problem if this expression is different from the original expression
(when the TF1 object has been created the first time), I just want it to
be equivalent. I want to apply a scaling factor and some complexe cuts on
the TF1
object, so it's essential to retrieve the expression.

Thank you!
