In the root/test directory, we have an example hworld (see code below)
illustrating how to call ROOT in batch and activate the event loop.
Rene Brun
//__________________________example hworld.cxx ________________________________
// This small demo shows the traditional "Hello World". Its main use is
// to show how to use ROOT graphics and how to enter the eventloop to
// be able to interact with the graphics.
#include "TROOT.h"
#include "TApplication.h"
#include "TCanvas.h"
#include "TLine.h"
#include "TPaveLabel.h"
extern void InitGui();
VoidFuncPtr_t initfuncs[] = { InitGui, 0 };
int Error; // needed by Motif
TROOT root("hello","Hello World", initfuncs);
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
TApplication theApp("App", &argc, argv);
TCanvas *c = new TCanvas("Hello", "The Hello Canvas", 400, 400);
c->Show();
TPaveLabel *hello = new TPaveLabel(0.2,0.4,0.8,0.6,"Hello World");
hello->Draw();
c->Update();
// Enter event loop, one can now interact with the objects in
// the canvas. Select "Exit ROOT" from Canvas "File" menu to exit
// the event loop and execute the next statements.
theApp.Run(kTRUE);
TLine *l = new TLine(0.1,0.2,0.5,0.9);
l->Draw();
c->Update();
// Here we don't return from the eventloop. "Exit ROOT" will quit the app.
theApp.Run();
return 0;
}
