Hi all, I am a ROOT newbie, trying to build some ROOT code that processes/plots data, generates images, and distributes the images over the web (as in a cgi script). Ideally, this code would just print the image file data to standard output, so executing it as a cgi script would produce an image on a web browser. As such, I think it has to run in batch mode... I am looking for a way to: a) generate an image in batch mode. b) print the image file data to standard output, preferably without first writing to disk. It would be possible to write the pad contents as a postscript or svg file, convert the file, and concatenate the results to standard output, and remove the file, but I would like to avoid file i/o (simultanious users will confuse the system) and other external programs as much as possible. I don't know if the TImage::FromPad(...) function will work in batch mode because I've been having issues getting ROOT to compile with asimage enabled (library version issues on my end, I think). The application is for visualization of high-energy cosmic ray shower data for the CHICOS project (http://www.chicos.caltech.edu/). Part of the purpose of distributing the images over the web is to allow high school instructors to use it in class activities. Thanks, Brant Carlson (Caltech UG, working for Prof. Bob McKeown)
