RE: Adding a vector to a tree

Hi Nicolas,

For compile code you need to use:

   gROOT->ProcessLine("#include <vector>"); so that the vector dlls is loaded into CINT and the ROOT meta data (as opposed to the compiled code itself).  

Cheers,
Philippe

Hi Philippe,

your macro works ok for me when I run it as a macro (by doing .L ... ). It's when I run it as a compiled program that it gives the error message.

I'm using root 5.13/02 on a mac with the default options for building...

Thanks for your prompt responses,

Nicolas Busca

Hi,

I just re-tried the script I gave you:

{
#include <vector>
TFile *f = new TFile("peter.root", "recreate"); TTree * t1 = new TTree("nEmcPhotons", "EMC Photons"); vector<float> *E = new vector<float>;
t1->Branch("E", &E);
}

with ROOT 5.17/04 and it works fine for me. Which version of ROOT are you using? How was it build (in particular are the cintdlls built?).

Absolutely, I include vector.h in the beginning of my program... still I get the same error.

Thanks!

Nicolas.

Did you try after doing:

example add #include <vector>).

I.e. Try

{
#include <vector>
TFile *f = new TFile("peter.root", "recreate"); TTree * t1 = new TTree("nEmcPhotons", "EMC Photons"); vector<float> *E = new vector<float>;
t1->Branch("E", &E);
}

I tried to use the macro below in a compiled program, and I get an error at running time:

Error in <TTree::Branch>: The pointer specified for ... is not of a class known to ROOT

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Nicolas

Also you need to make sure the dictionary for vector<float> is loaded (for example add #include <vector>).

Cheers,

Hi Rooters,

I want to add a vector to a root tree, and make it a branch of that tree. I found the example of adding an array to a tree like below:

{
TFile *f = new TFile("peter.root", "recreate"); Int_t nPhot;
Float_t E[500];
TTree * t1 = new TTree("nEmcPhotons", "EMC Photons"); t1->Branch("nPhot", &nPhot, "nPhot/I"); t1->Branch("E", E, "E[nPhot]/F");
}

Now if I want to change E[500] array above to a vector: "vector<float> E",
how do I change the t1->Branch("E", E, "E[nPhot]/F") line ?

Namely, how do I write the 3rd argument of the "Branch()" method for a
vector?

Thanks for the help!

Best,
Bin
