Any suggestions? > All histogram classes are derived from TH1. This class includes several member functions to access the histogram info, such as GetBinContent, GetBinError,etc In an interactive macro, you can do for example: Root > Int_t nbins = h->GetNbinsX(); Root > {for(Int_t i=0;i<nbins;i++) printf("bin[%d]=%g\n",i,h->GetBinContent(i));} where h is a pointer to an histogram. To write the contents to an ascii file, you can: - Include these two statements (or more) in a macro (say test.C) and do: Root > .x test.C > test.log The file test.log will contain the output of the macro - type any root command, for example second command above and piping the result to a file. Note that in this case, the command must be terminated by ; Root > { for(..) printf(..);} > test.log To dump the bin contents of an histogram to a file, you can also do: Root > h->Print("all"); > test.log To see the histogram data structure (or any object): Root > h->Dump(); > test.log Rene Brun
