/**
  \defgroup tree Tree Library

  To store large quantities of same-class objects, ROOT provides the TTree and
  TNtuple classes. The TTree class is optimized to
  reduce disk space and enhance access speed. A TNtuple is a TTree that is limited
  to only hold floating-point numbers; a TTree on the other hand can hold all kind
  of data, such as objects or arrays in addition to all the simple types.

*/

/** \class TTree
\ingroup tree

A TTree object has a header with a name and a title.

It consists of a list of independent branches (TBranch). Each branch has its own
definition and list of buffers. Branch buffers may be automatically written to
disk or kept in memory until the Tree attribute `fMaxVirtualSize` is reached.
Variables of one branch are written to the same buffer. A branch buffer is
automatically compressed if the file compression attribute is set (default).

Branches may be written to different files (see TBranch::SetFile).

The ROOT user can decide to make one single branch and serialize one object into
one single I/O buffer or to make several branches. Making one single branch and
one single buffer can be the right choice when one wants to process only a subset
of all entries in the tree. (you know for example the list of entry numbers you
want to process). Making several branches is particularly interesting in the
data analysis phase, when one wants to histogram some attributes of an object
(entry) without reading all the attributes.
~~~ {.cpp}
    TTree *tree = new TTree(name, title)
~~~
Creates a Tree with name and title.

Various kinds of branches can be added to a tree:

- simple structures or list of variables. (may be for C or Fortran structures)
- any object (inheriting from TObject). (we expect this option be the most frequent)
- a ClonesArray. (a specialized object for collections of same class objects)


## Case A

~~~ {.cpp}
    TBranch *branch = tree->Branch(branchname, address, leaflist, bufsize)
~~~
- address is the address of the first item of a structure
- leaflist is the concatenation of all the variable names and types
  separated by a colon character :
  The variable name and the variable type are separated by a
  slash (/). The variable type must be 1 character. (Characters
  after the first are legal and will be appended to the visible
  name of the leaf, but have no effect.) If no type is given, the
  type of the variable is assumed to be the same as the previous
  variable. If the first variable does not have a type, it is
  assumed of type F by default. The list of currently supported
  types is given below:
   - `C` : a character string terminated by the 0 character
   - `B` : an 8 bit signed integer (`Char_t`)
   - `b` : an 8 bit unsigned integer (`UChar_t`)
   - `S` : a 16 bit signed integer (`Short_t`)
   - `s` : a 16 bit unsigned integer (`UShort_t`)
   - `I` : a 32 bit signed integer (`Int_t`)
   - `i` : a 32 bit unsigned integer (`UInt_t`)
   - `F` : a 32 bit floating point (`Float_t`)
   - `D` : a 64 bit floating point (`Double_t`)
   - `L` : a 64 bit signed integer (`Long64_t`)
   - `l` : a 64 bit unsigned integer (`ULong64_t`)
   - `O` : [the letter `o`, not a zero] a boolean (`Bool_t`)
- If the address points to a single numerical variable, the leaflist is optional:
  int value;
  `tree->Branch(branchname, &value);`
- If the address points to more than one numerical variable, we strongly recommend
  that the variable be sorted in decreasing order of size.  Any other order will
  result in a non-portable (even between CINT and compiled code on the platform)
  TTree (i.e. you will not be able to read it back on a platform with a different
  padding strategy).


## Case B

~~~ {.cpp}
    TBranch *branch = tree->Branch(branchname, &p_object, bufsize, splitlevel)
    TBranch *branch = tree->Branch(branchname, className, &p_object, bufsize, splitlevel)
~~~
- p_object is a pointer to an object.
- If className is not specified, Branch uses the type of p_object to determine the
  type of the object.
- If className is used to specify explicitly the object type, the className must
  be of a type related to the one pointed to by the pointer.  It should be either
  a parent or derived class.
- if splitlevel=0, the object is serialized in the branch buffer.
- if splitlevel=1, this branch will automatically be split
  into subbranches, with one subbranch for each data member or object
  of the object itself. In case the object member is a TClonesArray,
  the mechanism described in case C is applied to this array.
- if splitlevel=2 ,this branch will automatically be split
  into subbranches, with one subbranch for each data member or object
  of the object itself. In case the object member is a TClonesArray,
  it is processed as a TObject*, only one branch.

Note: The pointer whose address is passed to TTree::Branch must not
      be destroyed (i.e. go out of scope) until the TTree is deleted or
      TTree::ResetBranchAddress is called.

Note: The pointer p_object must be initialized before calling TTree::Branch
- Do either:
~~~ {.cpp}
    MyDataClass* p_object = 0;
    tree->Branch(branchname, &p_object);
~~~
- Or:
~~~ {.cpp}
    MyDataClass* p_object = new MyDataClass;
    tree->Branch(branchname, &p_object);
~~~
Whether the pointer is set to zero or not, the ownership of the object
is not taken over by the TTree.  I.e. even though an object will be allocated
by TTree::Branch if the pointer p_object is zero, the object will <b>not</b>
be deleted when the TTree is deleted.


## Case C

~~~ {.cpp}
    MyClass object;
    TBranch *branch = tree->Branch(branchname, &object, bufsize, splitlevel)
~~~
Note: The 2nd parameter must be the address of a valid object.
      The object must not be destroyed (i.e. be deleted) until the TTree
      is deleted or TTree::ResetBranchAddress is called.

- if splitlevel=0, the object is serialized in the branch buffer.
- if splitlevel=1 (default), this branch will automatically be split
  into subbranches, with one subbranch for each data member or object
  of the object itself. In case the object member is a TClonesArray,
  the mechanism described in case C is applied to this array.
- if splitlevel=2 ,this branch will automatically be split
  into subbranches, with one subbranch for each data member or object
  of the object itself. In case the object member is a TClonesArray,
  it is processed as a TObject*, only one branch.


## Case D

~~~ {.cpp}
    TBranch *branch = tree->Branch(branchname,clonesarray, bufsize, splitlevel)
    clonesarray is the address of a pointer to a TClonesArray.
~~~
The TClonesArray is a direct access list of objects of the same class.
For example, if the TClonesArray is an array of TTrack objects,
this function will create one subbranch for each data member of
the object TTrack.


## Case E

~~~ {.cpp}
    TBranch *branch = tree->Branch( branchname, STLcollection, buffsize, splitlevel);
~~~
STLcollection is the address of a pointer to std::vector, std::list,
std::deque, std::set or std::multiset containing pointers to objects.
If the splitlevel is a value bigger than 100 (TTree::kSplitCollectionOfPointers)
then the collection will be written in split mode, e.g. if it contains objects of
any types deriving from TTrack this function will sort the objects
based on their type and store them in separate branches in split
mode.
~~~ {.cpp}
    branch->SetAddress(Void *address)
~~~
In case of dynamic structures changing with each entry for example, one must
redefine the branch address before filling the branch again.
This is done via the TBranch::SetAddress member function.
~~~ {.cpp}
    tree->Fill()
~~~
loops on all defined branches and for each branch invokes the Fill function.

and the class TNtupleD (a simple Tree with branches of doubles)

## Adding a Branch to an Existing Tree

You may want to add a branch to an existing tree. For example,
if one variable in the tree was computed with a certain algorithm,
you may want to try another algorithm and compare the results.
One solution is to add a new branch, fill it, and save the tree.
The code below adds a simple branch to an existing tree.
Note the kOverwrite option in the Write method, it overwrites the
existing tree. If it is not specified, two copies of the tree headers
are saved.
~~~ {.cpp}
    void tree3AddBranch() {
        TFile f("tree3.root", "update");

        Float_t new_v;
        TTree *t3 = (TTree*)f->Get("t3");
        TBranch *newBranch = t3->Branch("new_v", &new_v, "new_v/F");

        Long64_t nentries = t3->GetEntries(); // read the number of entries in the t3

        for (Long64_t i = 0; i < nentries; i++) {
            new_v= gRandom->Gaus(0, 1);
            newBranch->Fill();
        }

        t3->Write("", TObject::kOverwrite); // save only the new version of the tree
    }
~~~
Adding a branch is often not possible because the tree is in a read-only
file and you do not have permission to save the modified tree with the
new branch. Even if you do have the permission, you risk losing the
original tree with an unsuccessful attempt to save  the modification.
Since trees are usually large, adding a branch could extend it over the
2GB limit. In this case, the attempt to write the tree fails, and the
original data is erased.
In addition, adding a branch to a tree enlarges the tree and increases
the amount of memory needed to read an entry, and therefore decreases
the performance.

For these reasons, ROOT offers the concept of friends for trees (and chains).
We encourage you to use TTree::AddFriend rather than adding a branch manually.

/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree.Branch("B1.","MyClass",&b1,8000,1);

///
/// NOTE: Only active branches are copied.
/// NOTE: If the TTree is a TChain, the structure of the first TTree
///       is used for the copy.
///
/// IMPORTANT: The cloned tree stays connected with this tree until
///            this tree is deleted. In particular, any changes in
///            branch addresses in this tree are forwarded to the
///            clone trees, unless a branch in a clone tree has had
///            its address changed, in which case that change stays in
///            effect. When this tree is deleted, all the addresses of
///            the cloned tree are reset to their default values.
///
/// If 'option' contains the word 'fast' and nentries is -1, the
/// cloning will be done without unzipping or unstreaming the baskets
/// (i.e., a direct copy of the raw bytes on disk).
///
/// When 'fast' is specified, 'option' can also contain a sorting
/// order for the baskets in the output file.
///
/// There are currently 3 supported sorting order:
///
/// - SortBasketsByOffset (the default)
/// - SortBasketsByBranch
/// - SortBasketsByEntry
///
/// When using SortBasketsByOffset the baskets are written in the
/// output file in the same order as in the original file (i.e. the
/// baskets are sorted by their offset in the original file; Usually
/// this also means that the baskets are sorted by the index/number of
/// the _last_ entry they contain)
///
/// When using SortBasketsByBranch all the baskets of each individual
/// branches are stored contiguously. This tends to optimize reading
/// speed when reading a small number (1->5) of branches, since all
/// their baskets will be clustered together instead of being spread
/// across the file. However it might decrease the performance when
/// reading more branches (or the full entry).
///
/// When using SortBasketsByEntry the baskets with the lowest starting
/// entry are written first. (i.e. the baskets are sorted by the
/// index/number of the first entry they contain). This means that on
/// the file the baskets will be in the order in which they will be
/// needed when reading the whole tree sequentially.

/// In summary, if a specific index is not specified for a dimension, TTree::Draw
/// will loop through all the indices along this dimension.  Leaving off the
/// last (right most) dimension of specifying then with the two characters '[]'
/// is equivalent.  For variable size arrays (and TClonesArray) the range
/// of the first dimension is recalculated for each entry of the tree.
/// You can also specify the index as an expression of any other variables from the
/// tree.
///
/// TTree::Draw also now properly handling operations involving 2 or more arrays.
///
/// Let assume a second matrix fResults[5][2], here are a sample of some

///
/// | expression                       | element(s) | Loop                     |
/// |----------------------------------|------------|--------------------------|
/// | `fMatrix[2][1] - fResults[5][2]` |  one       | no loop |
/// | `fMatrix[2][]  - fResults[5][2]` |  three     | on 2nd dim fMatrix |
/// | `fMatrix[2][]  - fResults[5][]`  |  two       | on both 2nd dimensions |
/// | `fMatrix[][2]  - fResults[][1]`  |  three     | on both 1st dimensions |
/// | `fMatrix[][2]  - fResults[][]`   |  six       | on both 1st and 2nd dimensions of fResults |
/// | `fMatrix[][2]  - fResults[3][]`  |  two       | on 1st dim of fMatrix and 2nd of fResults (at the same time) |
/// | `fMatrix[][]   - fResults[][]`   |  six       | on 1st dim then on  2nd dim |
/// | `fMatrix[][fResult[][]]`         |  30        | on 1st dim of fMatrix then on both dimensions of fResults.  The value if fResults[j][k] is used as the second index of fMatrix.|
///
///
/// In summary, TTree::Draw loops through all unspecified dimensions.  To
/// figure out the range of each loop, we match each unspecified dimension
/// from left to right (ignoring ALL dimensions for which an index has been
/// specified), in the equivalent loop matched dimensions use the same index
/// and are restricted to the smallest range (of only the matched dimensions).
/// When involving variable arrays, the range can of course be different
/// for each entry of the tree.
///
/// So the loop equivalent to "fMatrix[][2] - fResults[3][]" is:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     for (Int_t i0; i < min(3,2); i++) {
///        use the value of (fMatrix[i0][2] - fMatrix[3][i0])
///     }
/// ~~~
/// So the loop equivalent to "fMatrix[][2] - fResults[][]" is:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     for (Int_t i0; i < min(3,5); i++) {
///        for (Int_t i1; i1 < 2; i1++) {
///           use the value of (fMatrix[i0][2] - fMatrix[i0][i1])
///        }
///     }
/// ~~~
/// So the loop equivalent to "fMatrix[][] - fResults[][]" is:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     for (Int_t i0; i < min(3,5); i++) {
///        for (Int_t i1; i1 < min(3,2); i1++) {
///           use the value of (fMatrix[i0][i1] - fMatrix[i0][i1])
///        }
///     }
/// ~~~
/// So the loop equivalent to "fMatrix[][fResults[][]]" is:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     for (Int_t i0; i0 < 3; i0++) {
///        for (Int_t j2; j2 < 5; j2++) {
///           for (Int_t j3; j3 < 2; j3++) {
///              i1 = fResults[j2][j3];
///              use the value of fMatrix[i0][i1]
///        }
///     }
/// ~~~
/// ## Retrieving the result of Draw
///
/// By default the temporary histogram created is called "htemp", but only in
/// the one dimensional Draw("e1") it contains the TTree's data points. For
/// a two dimensional Draw, the data is filled into a TGraph which is named
/// "Graph". They can be retrieved by calling
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     TH1F *htemp = (TH1F*)gPad->GetPrimitive("htemp"); // 1D
///     TGraph *graph = (TGraph*)gPad->GetPrimitive("Graph"); // 2D
/// ~~~
/// For a three and four dimensional Draw the TPolyMarker3D is unnamed, and
/// cannot be retrieved.
///
/// gPad always contains a TH1 derived object called "htemp" which allows to
/// access the axes:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     TGraph *graph = (TGraph*)gPad->GetPrimitive("Graph"); // 2D
///     TH2F   *htemp = (TH2F*)gPad->GetPrimitive("htemp"); // empty, but has axes
///     TAxis  *xaxis = htemp->GetXaxis();
/// ~~~
/// ## Saving the result of Draw to an histogram
///
/// If varexp0 contains >>hnew (following the variable(s) name(s),
/// the new histogram created is called hnew and it is kept in the current
/// directory (and also the current pad). This works for all dimensions.
///
/// Example:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree.Draw("sqrt(x)>>hsqrt","y>0")
/// ~~~
/// will draw `sqrt(x)` and save the histogram as "hsqrt" in the current
/// directory. To retrieve it do:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     TH1F *hsqrt = (TH1F*)gDirectory->Get("hsqrt");
/// ~~~
/// The binning information is taken from the environment variables
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     Hist.Binning.?D.?
/// ~~~
/// In addition, the name of the histogram can be followed by up to 9
/// numbers between '(' and ')', where the numbers describe the
/// following:
///
/// -  1 - bins in x-direction
/// -  2 - lower limit in x-direction
/// -  3 - upper limit in x-direction
/// -  4-6 same for y-direction
/// -  7-9 same for z-direction
///
/// When a new binning is used the new value will become the default.
/// Values can be skipped.
///
/// Example:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree.Draw("sqrt(x)>>hsqrt(500,10,20)")
///          // plot sqrt(x) between 10 and 20 using 500 bins
///     tree.Draw("sqrt(x):sin(y)>>hsqrt(100,10,60,50,.1,.5)")
///          // plot sqrt(x) against sin(y)
///          // 100 bins in x-direction; lower limit on x-axis is 10; upper limit is 60
///          //  50 bins in y-direction; lower limit on y-axis is .1; upper limit is .5
/// ~~~
/// By default, the specified histogram is reset.
/// To continue to append data to an existing histogram, use "+" in front
/// of the histogram name.
///
/// A '+' in front of the histogram name is ignored, when the name is followed by
/// binning information as described in the previous paragraph.
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree.Draw("sqrt(x)>>+hsqrt","y>0")
/// ~~~
/// will not reset `hsqrt`, but will continue filling. This works for 1-D, 2-D
/// and 3-D histograms.
///
/// ## Accessing collection objects
///
/// TTree::Draw default's handling of collections is to assume that any
/// request on a collection pertain to it content.  For example, if fTracks
/// is a collection of Track objects, the following:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree->Draw("event.fTracks.fPx");
/// ~~~
/// will plot the value of fPx for each Track objects inside the collection.
/// Also
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree->Draw("event.fTracks.size()");
/// ~~~
/// would plot the result of the member function Track::size() for each
/// Track object inside the collection.
/// To access information about the collection itself, TTree::Draw support
/// the '@' notation.  If a variable which points to a collection is prefixed
/// or postfixed with '@', the next part of the expression will pertain to
/// the collection object.  For example:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree->Draw("event.@fTracks.size()");
/// ~~~
/// will plot the size of the collection referred to by `fTracks` (i.e the number
/// of Track objects).
///
/// ## Drawing 'objects'
///
/// When a class has a member function named AsDouble or AsString, requesting
/// to directly draw the object will imply a call to one of the 2 functions.
/// If both AsDouble and AsString are present, AsDouble will be used.
/// AsString can return either a char*, a std::string or a TString.s
/// For example, the following
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree->Draw("event.myTTimeStamp");
/// ~~~
/// will draw the same histogram as
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree->Draw("event.myTTimeStamp.AsDouble()");
/// ~~~
/// In addition, when the object is a type TString or std::string, TTree::Draw
/// will call respectively `TString::Data` and `std::string::c_str()`
///
/// If the object is a TBits, the histogram will contain the index of the bit
/// that are turned on.
///
/// ## Retrieving  information about the tree itself.
///
/// You can refer to the tree (or chain) containing the data by using the
/// string 'This'.
/// You can then could any TTree methods. For example:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree->Draw("This->GetReadEntry()");
/// ~~~
/// will display the local entry numbers be read.
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree->Draw("This->GetUserInfo()->At(0)->GetName()");
/// ~~~
///  will display the name of the first 'user info' object.
///
/// ## Special functions and variables
///
/// `Entry$`:  A TTree::Draw formula can use the special variable `Entry$`
/// to access the entry number being read. For example to draw every
/// other entry use:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree.Draw("myvar","Entry$%2==0");
/// ~~~
/// -  `Entry$`      : return the current entry number (`== TTree::GetReadEntry()`)
/// -  `LocalEntry$` : return the current entry number in the current tree of a
///     chain (`== GetTree()->GetReadEntry()`)
/// -  `Entries$`    : return the total number of entries (== TTree::GetEntries())
/// -  `LocalEntries$` : return the total number of entries in the current tree
///     of a chain (== GetTree()->TTree::GetEntries())
/// -  `Length$`     : return the total number of element of this formula for this
///     entry (`==TTreeFormula::GetNdata()`)
/// -  `Iteration$`  : return the current iteration over this formula for this
///     entry (i.e. varies from 0 to `Length$`).
/// -  `Length$(formula )`  : return the total number of element of the formula
///     given as a parameter.
/// -  `Sum$(formula )`  : return the sum of the value of the elements of the
///     formula given as a parameter.  For example the mean for all the elements in
///     one entry can be calculated with: `Sum$(formula )/Length$(formula )`
/// -  `Min$(formula )` : return the minimun (within one TTree entry) of the value of the
///     elements of the formula given as a parameter.
/// -  `Max$(formula )` : return the maximum (within one TTree entry) of the value of the
///     elements of the formula given as a parameter.
/// -  `MinIf$(formula,condition)`
/// -  `MaxIf$(formula,condition)` : return the minimum (maximum) (within one TTree entry)
///     of the value of the elements of the formula given as a parameter
///     if they match the condition. If no element matches the condition,
///     the result is zero.  To avoid the resulting peak at zero, use the
///     pattern:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///        tree->Draw("MinIf$(formula,condition)","condition");
/// ~~~
///     which will avoid calculation `MinIf$` for the entries that have no match
///     for the condition.
/// -  `Alt$(primary,alternate)` : return the value of "primary" if it is available
///     for the current iteration otherwise return the value of "alternate".
///     For example, with arr1[3] and arr2[2]
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///        tree->Draw("arr1+Alt$(arr2,0)");
/// ~~~
///     will draw arr1[0]+arr2[0] ; arr1[1]+arr2[1] and arr1[2]+0
///     Or with a variable size array arr3
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///        tree->Draw("Alt$(arr3[0],0)+Alt$(arr3[1],0)+Alt$(arr3[2],0)");
/// ~~~
///     will draw the sum arr3 for the index 0 to min(2,actual_size_of_arr3-1)
///     As a comparison
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///        tree->Draw("arr3[0]+arr3[1]+arr3[2]");
/// ~~~
///     will draw the sum arr3 for the index 0 to 2 only if the
///     actual_size_of_arr3 is greater or equal to 3.
///     Note that the array in 'primary' is flattened/linearized thus using
///     `Alt$` with multi-dimensional arrays of different dimensions in unlikely
///     to yield the expected results.  To visualize a bit more what elements
///     would be matched by TTree::Draw, TTree::Scan can be used:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///        tree->Scan("arr1:Alt$(arr2,0)");
/// ~~~
///     will print on one line the value of arr1 and (arr2,0) that will be
///     matched by
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///        tree->Draw("arr1-Alt$(arr2,0)");
/// ~~~
/// The ternary operator is not directly supported in TTree::Draw however, to plot the
/// equivalent of `var2<20 ? -99 : var1`, you can use:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree->Draw("(var2<20)*99+(var2>=20)*var1","");
/// ~~~
///
/// ## Drawing a user function accessing the TTree data directly
///
/// If the formula contains  a file name, TTree::MakeProxy will be used
/// to load and execute this file.   In particular it will draw the
/// result of a function with the same name as the file.  The function
/// will be executed in a context where the name of the branches can
/// be used as a C++ variable.
///
/// For example draw px using the file hsimple.root (generated by the
/// hsimple.C tutorial), we need a file named hsimple.cxx:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     double hsimple() {
///        return px;
///     }
/// ~~~
/// MakeProxy can then be used indirectly via the TTree::Draw interface
/// as follow:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     new TFile("hsimple.root")
///     ntuple->Draw("hsimple.cxx");
/// ~~~
/// A more complete example is available in the tutorials directory:
/// `h1analysisProxy.cxx`, `h1analysProxy.h` and `h1analysisProxyCut.C`
/// which reimplement the selector found in `h1analysis.C`
///
/// The main features of this facility are:
///
///  * on-demand loading of branches
///  * ability to use the 'branchname' as if it was a data member
///  * protection against array out-of-bound
///  * ability to use the branch data as object (when the user code is available)
///
///  See TTree::MakeProxy for more details.
///
/// ## Making a Profile histogram
///
///  In case of a 2-Dim expression, one can generate a TProfile histogram
///  instead of a TH2F histogram by specifying option=prof or option=profs
///  or option=profi or option=profg ; the trailing letter select the way
///  the bin error are computed, See TProfile2D::SetErrorOption for
///  details on the differences.
///  The option=prof is automatically selected in case of y:x>>pf
///  where pf is an existing TProfile histogram.
///
/// ## Making a 2D Profile histogram
///
/// In case of a 3-Dim expression, one can generate a TProfile2D histogram
/// instead of a TH3F histogram by specifying option=prof or option=profs.
/// or option=profi or option=profg ; the trailing letter select the way
/// the bin error are computed, See TProfile2D::SetErrorOption for
/// details on the differences.
/// The option=prof is automatically selected in case of z:y:x>>pf
/// where pf is an existing TProfile2D histogram.
///
/// ## Making a 5D plot using GL
///
/// If option GL5D is specified together with 5 variables, a 5D plot is drawn
/// using OpenGL. See $ROOTSYS/tutorials/tree/staff.C as example.
///
/// ## Making a parallel coordinates plot
///
/// In case of a 2-Dim or more expression with the option=para, one can generate
/// a parallel coordinates plot. With that option, the number of dimensions is
/// arbitrary. Giving more than 4 variables without the option=para or
/// option=candle or option=goff will produce an error.
///
/// ## Making a candle sticks chart
///
/// In case of a 2-Dim or more expression with the option=candle, one can generate
/// a candle sticks chart. With that option, the number of dimensions is
/// arbitrary. Giving more than 4 variables without the option=para or
/// option=candle or option=goff will produce an error.
///
/// ## Normalizing the output histogram to 1
///
/// When option contains "norm" the output histogram is normalized to 1.
///
/// ## Saving the result of Draw to a TEventList, a TEntryList or a TEntryListArray
///
/// TTree::Draw can be used to fill a TEventList object (list of entry numbers)
/// instead of histogramming one variable.
/// If varexp0 has the form >>elist , a TEventList object named "elist"
/// is created in the current directory. elist will contain the list
/// of entry numbers satisfying the current selection.
/// If option "entrylist" is used, a TEntryList object is created
/// If the selection contains arrays, vectors or any container class and option
/// "entrylistarray" is used, a TEntryListArray object is created
/// containing also the subentries satisfying the selection, i.e. the indices of
/// the branches which hold containers classes.
/// Example:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree.Draw(">>yplus","y>0")
/// ~~~
/// will create a TEventList object named "yplus" in the current directory.
/// In an interactive session, one can type (after TTree::Draw)
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     yplus.Print("all")
/// ~~~
/// to print the list of entry numbers in the list.
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree.Draw(">>yplus", "y>0", "entrylist")
/// ~~~
/// will create a TEntryList object names "yplus" in the current directory
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree.Draw(">>yplus", "y>0", "entrylistarray")
/// ~~~
/// will create a TEntryListArray object names "yplus" in the current directory
///
/// By default, the specified entry list is reset.
/// To continue to append data to an existing list, use "+" in front
/// of the list name;
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree.Draw(">>+yplus","y>0")
/// ~~~
/// will not reset yplus, but will enter the selected entries at the end
/// of the existing list.
///
/// ## Using a TEventList, TEntryList or TEntryListArray as Input
///
/// Once a TEventList or a TEntryList object has been generated, it can be used as input
/// for TTree::Draw. Use TTree::SetEventList or TTree::SetEntryList to set the
/// current event list
///
/// Example 1:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     TEventList *elist = (TEventList*)gDirectory->Get("yplus");
///     tree->SetEventList(elist);
///     tree->Draw("py");
/// ~~~
/// Example 2:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     TEntryList *elist = (TEntryList*)gDirectory->Get("yplus");
///     tree->SetEntryList(elist);
///     tree->Draw("py");
/// ~~~
/// If a TEventList object is used as input, a new TEntryList object is created
/// inside the SetEventList function. In case of a TChain, all tree headers are loaded
/// for this transformation. This new object is owned by the chain and is deleted
/// with it, unless the user extracts it by calling GetEntryList() function.
/// See also comments to SetEventList() function of TTree and TChain.
///
/// If arrays are used in the selection criteria and TEntryListArray is not used,
/// all the entries that have at least one element of the array that satisfy the selection
/// are entered in the list.
///
/// Example:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree.Draw(">>pyplus","fTracks.fPy>0");
///     tree->SetEventList(pyplus);
///     tree->Draw("fTracks.fPy");
/// ~~~
///  will draw the fPy of ALL tracks in event with at least one track with
///  a positive fPy.
///
/// To select only the elements that did match the original selection
/// use TEventList::SetReapplyCut or TEntryList::SetReapplyCut.
///
/// Example:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree.Draw(">>pyplus","fTracks.fPy>0");
///     pyplus->SetReapplyCut(kTRUE);
///     tree->SetEventList(pyplus);
///     tree->Draw("fTracks.fPy");
/// ~~~
/// will draw the fPy of only the tracks that have a positive fPy.
///
/// To draw only the elements that match a selection in case of arrays,
/// you can also use TEntryListArray (faster in case of a more general selection).
///
/// Example:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree.Draw(">>pyplus","fTracks.fPy>0", "entrylistarray");
///     tree->SetEntryList(pyplus);
///     tree->Draw("fTracks.fPy");
/// ~~~
/// will draw the fPy of only the tracks that have a positive fPy,
/// but without redoing the selection.
///
///  Note: Use tree->SetEventList(0) if you do not want use the list as input.
///
/// ## How to obtain more info from TTree::Draw
///
///  Once TTree::Draw has been called, it is possible to access useful
///  information still stored in the TTree object via the following functions:
///
/// - GetSelectedRows() // return the number of values accepted by the selection expression. In case where no selection was specified, returns the number of values processed.
/// - GetV1()           // returns a pointer to the double array of V1
/// - GetV2()           // returns a pointer to the double array of V2
/// - GetV3()           // returns a pointer to the double array of V3
/// - GetV4()           // returns a pointer to the double array of V4
/// - GetW()            // returns a pointer to the double array of Weights where weight equal the result of the selection expression.
///
/// where V1,V2,V3 correspond to the expressions in
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     TTree::Draw("V1:V2:V3:V4",selection);
/// ~~~
/// If the expression has more than 4 component use GetVal(index)
///
/// Example:
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     Root > ntuple->Draw("py:px","pz>4");
///     Root > TGraph *gr = new TGraph(ntuple->GetSelectedRows(),
///                                   ntuple->GetV2(), ntuple->GetV1());
///     Root > gr->Draw("ap"); //draw graph in current pad
/// ~~~
///
/// A more complete complete tutorial (treegetval.C) shows how to use the
/// GetVal() method.
///
/// creates a TGraph object with a number of points corresponding to the
/// number of entries selected by the expression "pz>4", the x points of the graph
/// being the px values of the Tree and the y points the py values.
///
/// Important note: By default TTree::Draw creates the arrays obtained
/// with GetW, GetV1, GetV2, GetV3, GetV4, GetVal with a length corresponding
/// to the parameter fEstimate.  The content will be the last `GetSelectedRows() % GetEstimate()`
/// values calculated.
/// By default fEstimate=1000000 and can be modified
/// via TTree::SetEstimate. To keep in memory all the results (in case
/// where there is only one result per entry), use
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     tree->SetEstimate(tree->GetEntries()+1); // same as tree->SetEstimate(-1);
/// ~~~
/// You must call SetEstimate if the expected number of selected rows
/// you need to look at is greater than 1000000.
///
/// You can use the option "goff" to turn off the graphics output
/// of TTree::Draw in the above example.
///
/// ## Automatic interface to TTree::Draw via the TTreeViewer
///
/// A complete graphical interface to this function is implemented
/// in the class TTreeViewer.
/// To start the TTreeViewer, three possibilities:
/// - select TTree context menu item "StartViewer"
/// - type the command  "TTreeViewer TV(treeName)"
/// - execute statement "tree->StartViewer();"

/// Fill all branches.
///
/// This function loops on all the branches of this tree.  For
/// each branch, it copies to the branch buffer (basket) the current
/// values of the leaves data types. If a leaf is a simple data type,
/// a simple conversion to a machine independent format has to be done.
///
/// This machine independent version of the data is copied into a
/// basket (each branch has its own basket).  When a basket is full
/// (32k worth of data by default), it is then optionally compressed
/// and written to disk (this operation is also called committing or
/// 'flushing' the basket).  The committed baskets are then
/// immediately removed from memory.
///
/// The function returns the number of bytes committed to the
/// individual branches.
///
/// If a write error occurs, the number of bytes returned is -1.
///
/// If no data are written, because, e.g., the branch is disabled,
/// the number of bytes returned is 0.
///
/// __The baskets are flushed and the Tree header saved at regular intervals__
///
/// At regular intervals, when the amount of data written so far is
/// greater than fAutoFlush (see SetAutoFlush) all the baskets are flushed to disk.
/// This makes future reading faster as it guarantees that baskets belonging to nearby
/// entries will be on the same disk region.
/// When the first call to flush the baskets happen, we also take this opportunity
/// to optimize the baskets buffers.
/// We also check if the amount of data written is greater than fAutoSave (see SetAutoSave).
/// In this case we also write the Tree header. This makes the Tree recoverable up to this point
/// in case the program writing the Tree crashes.
/// The decisions to FlushBaskets and Auto Save can be made based either on the number
/// of bytes written (fAutoFlush and fAutoSave negative) or on the number of entries
/// written (fAutoFlush and fAutoSave positive).
/// Note that the user can decide to call FlushBaskets and AutoSave in her event loop
/// base on the number of events written instead of the number of bytes written.
///
/// Note that calling FlushBaskets too often increases the IO time.
///
/// Note that calling AutoSave too often increases the IO time and also the file size.

/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     Event *event = 0;  //event must be null or point to a valid object
///                        //it must be initialized
///     T.SetBranchAddress("event",&event);

/// ~~~ {.cpp}

///        T.GetEntry(i);
///        // the object event has been filled at this point
///     }
/// ~~~
/// The default (recommended). At the first entry an object of the class
/// Event will be created and pointed by event. At the following entries,
/// event will be overwritten by the new data. All internal members that are
/// TObject* are automatically deleted. It is important that these members
/// be in a valid state when GetEntry is called. Pointers must be correctly
/// initialized. However these internal members will not be deleted if the
/// characters "->" are specified as the first characters in the comment
/// field of the data member declaration.
///
/// If "->" is specified, the pointer member is read via pointer->Streamer(buf).
/// In this case, it is assumed that the pointer is never null (case of
/// pointer TClonesArray *fTracks in the Event example). If "->" is not
/// specified, the pointer member is read via buf >> pointer. In this case
/// the pointer may be null. Note that the option with "->" is faster to
/// read or write and it also consumes less space in the file.
///
/// ## OPTION 2
///
/// The option AutoDelete is set
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
///     TBranch *branch = T.GetBranch("event");
///     branch->SetAddress(&event);
///     branch->SetAutoDelete(kTRUE);
///     for (Long64_t i=0;i<nentries;i++) {
///        T.GetEntry(i);
///        // the object event has been filled at this point
///     }
/// ~~~
/// In this case, at each iteration, the object event is deleted by GetEntry
/// and a new instance of Event is created and filled.
///
/// ## OPTION 3
/// ~~~ {.cpp}
/// Same as option 1, but you delete yourself the event.
///
///     for (Long64_t i=0;i<nentries;i++) {
///        delete event;
///        event = 0;  // EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
///        T.GetEntry(i);
///        // the object event has been filled at this point
