Detailed Description

Process collections in RDataFrame with the help of RVec.

This tutorial shows the potential of the VecOps approach for treating collections stored in datasets, a situation very common in HEP data analysis.

 
using namespace ROOT;
 
int df016_vecOps()
{
   // We re-create a set of points in a square.
   // This is a technical detail, just to create a dataset to play with!
   auto unifGen = [](double) { return gRandom->Uniform(-1.0, 1.0); };
   auto vGen = [&](int len) {
      RVecD v(len);
      std::transform(v.begin(), v.end(), v.begin(), unifGen);
      return v;
   };
   RDataFrame d(1024);
   auto d0 = d.Define("len", []() { return (int)gRandom->Uniform(0, 16); })
      .Define("x", vGen, {"len"})
      .Define("y", vGen, {"len"});
 
   // Now we have in our hands d, a RDataFrame with two columns, x and y, which
   // hold collections of coordinates. The sizes of these collections vary.
   // Let's now define radii from the x and y coordinates. We'll do it treating 
   // the collections stored in the columns without looping on the individual elements.
   auto d1 = d0.Define("r", "sqrt(x*x + y*y)");
 
   // Now we want to plot 2 quarters of a ring with radii .5 and 1.
   // Note how the cuts are performed on RVecs, comparing them with integers and
   // among themselves.
   auto ring_h = d1.Define("rInFig", "r > .5 && r < 1 && x*y < 0")
                    .Define("yFig", "y[rInFig]")
                    .Define("xFig", "x[rInFig]")
                    .Histo2D({"fig", "Two quarters of a ring", 64, -1.1, 1.1, 64, -1.1, 1.1}, "xFig", "yFig");
 
   auto cring = new TCanvas();
   ring_h->DrawCopy("Colz");
 
   return 0;
}
