hist058_TExec_th2.C File Reference

Detailed Description

Echo object at mouse position and show a graphics line.

Example of macro called when a mouse event occurs in a pad.

Example:

TFile::Open("hsimple.root");
hpxpy->Draw("colz");
gPad->AddExec("ex2", ".x hist058_TExec_th2.C");

When moving the mouse in the canvas, a second canvas shows the projection along X of the bin corresponding to the Y position of the mouse. The resulting histogram is fitted with a gaussian. A "dynamic" line shows the current bin position in Y. This more elaborated example can be used as a starting point to develop more powerful interactive applications exploiting CLING as a development engine.
