◆ AddDirectory()

void TDirectory::AddDirectory ( Bool_t  add = kTRUE)
static

Sets the flag controlling the automatic add objects like histograms, TGraph2D, etc in memory.

By default (fAddDirectory = kTRUE), these objects are automatically added to the list of objects in memory. Note that in the classes like TH1, TGraph2D supporting this facility, one object can be removed from its support directory by calling object->SetDirectory(0) or object->SetDirectory(dir) to add it to the list of objects in the directory dir.

NOTE that this is a static function. To call it, use:

◆ CloneObject()

TObject * TDirectory::CloneObject ( const TObject obj,
Bool_t  autoadd = kTRUE 
)
virtual

Clone an object.

This function is called when the directory is not a TDirectoryFile. This version has to load the I/O package, hence via Cling.

If autoadd is true and if the object class has a DirectoryAutoAdd function, it will be called at the end of the function with the parameter gDirector. This usually means that the object will be appended to the current ROOT directory.

Reimplemented in TDirectoryFile.

To delete one directory, you must specify the directory cycle, eg. file.Delete("dir1;1");

examples:

  • foo : delete object named foo in memory
  • foo* : delete all objects with a name starting with foo
  • foo;1 : delete cycle 1 of foo on file

  • foo : get object named foo in memory if object is not in memory, try with highest cycle from file
  • foo;1 : get cycle 1 of foo on file

The retrieved object should in principle derive from TObject. If not, the function TDirectory::GetObject should be called. However, this function will still work for a non-TObject, providing that the calling application cast the return type to the correct type (which is the actual type of the object).

NOTE:

The method GetObject offer better protection and avoid the need for any cast:

MyClass *obj;
directory->GetObject("some object",obj);
if (obj) { ... the object exist and inherits from MyClass ... }

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:

In case the class of this object derives from TObject but not as a first inheritance, one must use dynamic_cast<>(). #### Example 1: Normal case:

class MyClass : public TObject, public AnotherClass

then on return, one can do:

MyClass *obj = (MyClass*)directory->Get("some object of MyClass");

#### Example 2: Special case:

class MyClass : public AnotherClass, public TObject

then on return, one must do:

MyClass *obj = dynamic_cast<MyClass*>(directory->Get("some object of MyClass"));

Of course, dynamic_cast<> can also be used in the example 1.

◆ GetDirectory()

TDirectory * TDirectory::GetDirectory ( const char *  apath,
Bool_t  printError = false,

)
virtual

Find a directory using apath.

It apath is null or empty, returns "this" directory. Otherwise use apath to find a directory. The absolute path syntax is: file.root:/dir1/dir2

where file.root is the file and /dir1/dir2 the desired subdirectory in the file. Relative syntax is relative to "this" directory. E.g: ../aa. Returns 0 in case path does not exist. If printError is true, use Error with 'funcname' to issue an error message.

For example the step to the steps to create first a/b/c and then a/b/d without receiving and errors are:

TFile * file = new TFile("afile","RECREATE");
file->mkdir("a");

◆ Write() [2/2]

virtual Int_t TDirectory::Write ( const char *  name = 0,
Int_t  option = 0,
Int_t  bufsize = 0 
) const
inlinevirtual

Write this object to the current directory.

The data structure corresponding to this object is serialized. The corresponding buffer is written to the current directory with an associated key with name "name".

Writing an object to a file involves the following steps:

  • Creation of a support TKey object in the current directory. The TKey object creates a TBuffer object.
  • The TBuffer object is filled via the class::Streamer function.
  • If the file is compressed (default) a second buffer is created to hold the compressed buffer.
  • Reservation of the corresponding space in the file by looking in the TFree list of free blocks of the file.
  • The buffer is written to the file.

Bufsize can be given to force a given buffer size to write this object. By default, the buffersize will be taken from the average buffer size of all objects written to the current file so far.

If a name is specified, it will be the name of the key. If name is not given, the name of the key will be the name as returned by GetName().

The option can be a combination of: kSingleKey, kOverwrite or kWriteDelete Using the kOverwrite option a previous key with the same name is overwritten. The previous key is deleted before writing the new object. Using the kWriteDelete option a previous key with the same name is deleted only after the new object has been written. This option is safer than kOverwrite but it is slower. The kSingleKey option is only used by TCollection::Write() to write a container with a single key instead of each object in the container with its own key.

An object is read from the file into memory via TKey::Read() or via TObject::Read().

The function returns the total number of bytes written to the file. It returns 0 if the object cannot be written.
