tree112_copy.C File Reference

Detailed Description

Example of Root macro to copy a subset of a Tree to a new Tree, selecting entries.

Only selected entries are copied to the new Tree. The input file has been generated by the program in $ROOTSYS/test/Event with Event 1000 1 99 1

 
#ifdef ACTUAL_RUN  // -------- Second pass: dictionary already built --------
 
#include "./Event.h"  // now safe to include Event, its dictionary is loaded
 
void run()
{
   TFile oldfile("tree108.root");
   TTree *oldtree;
   oldfile.GetObject("t4", oldtree);
 
   const auto nentries = oldtree->GetEntries();
 
   Event *event = nullptr;
   oldtree->SetBranchAddress("event_split", &event);
 
   // Create a new file + a clone of old tree in new file
   TFile newfile("tree112.root", "recreate");
   auto newtree = oldtree->CloneTree(0);
 
   for (auto i : ROOT::TSeqI(nentries)) {
      oldtree->GetEntry(i);
      if (event->GetNtrack() > 605)
         newtree->Fill();
      event->Clear();
   }
 
   newtree->Print();
   newfile.Write();
}
 
#else  // -------- First pass: build dictionary + rerun macro --------
 
void tree112_copy()
{
   TString tutdir = gROOT->GetTutorialDir();
   gROOT->ProcessLine(".L " + tutdir + "/io/tree/Event.cxx+");
   gROOT->ProcessLine("#define ACTUAL_RUN yes");
   gROOT->ProcessLine("#include \"" __FILE__ "\"");
