Hi Jayoung,
first concerning points 1) and 2). They crash because you have a
typo in the script:
TCanvas c1 = ...
should be
TCanvas *c1 = ...
like in your compiled program (in 3)). Once corrected they will
show the canvas and you can interact with it, i.e. you can use the
menu's in the menubar and the popup menu in the canvas works (click
right button in canvas).
In case 3 you don't see a canvas because before the system can
create and show them the program exits. To be able to show and
interact with a canvas you need to be in an eventloop that will
process the GUI events (X11 or Win32). You get into the eventloop
by calling TApplication::Run() (note, inside the ROOT cint interface
the Run() method handles the command processing. I.e. you are always
in the Run() method and whenever a script is finished the created
GUI components are displayed.
Now to make your program in point 3) work as expected, add the lines:
int main()
{
TROOT ytrack("plot2","plot test");
// Create application environment, needed for interactive apps.
// Alternatively can create a TRint object, I which case you
// get also command line input capability.
TApplication theApp("App", 0, 0);
TCanvas *c1 = new TCanvas("c1","Tracking of Incident Particle",
200,10,700,500);
c1->Update();
theApp.Run(); // will not return
return 0;
}
For more detail see $ROOTSYS/test/hworld.cxx.
Cheers, Fons.
