Hi, root-tians!
I have trouble converting my HBOOK files to root with h2root. The
problem is with the 1-dim histograms which contain errors - after
convertion to root they seem have their contents replaced with the errors.
Here is the simple sequence of commands to reproduce the problem. I'm
running root v2.21/08 on Redhat 5.1 with gcc 2.8.1.
First, sequence of PAW commands to create and save 1-dim histo with
errors:
PAW > 1d 1 'Test histo with errors' 10 0.5 10.5
PAW > v/cre v(10) r 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
PAW > v/cre verr(10) r .5 .5 .5 .5 .5 .5 .5 .5 .5 .5
PAW > put/cont 1 v
PAW > put/err 1 verr
PAW > h/plo 1 e1
PAW > h/file 1 paw.hbook ! N
PAW > hrout 1
PAW > clo 1
Then I convert the file to root:
> salnikov@sndxt4 [211] h2root paw.hbook
> RZOPEN. problems determining record length - trying EXCHANGE mode.
> Converting directory //example
> TFile** paw.root HBOOK file: paw.hbook converted to ROOT
> TFile* paw.root HBOOK file: paw.hbook converted to ROOT
> KEY: TH1F h1;1 Test histo with errors
And starting root session:
> root [0] TFile *f = new TFile("paw.root");
> root [1] h1->Draw("e1");
I get the plot, which is quite different from what I get in PAW. It
seems that the content of the bins is replaced with the errors - all bins
are of the height 0.5. Also some funny characters appear in the label of
the horizontal axis (I have pictures for both PAW and root sessions - you
can look at them, if you like). So, what am I doing wrong? No one seen
this trouble before?
Cheers,
Andrei.
