/// This example is a variant of hsimple.C but using a TTree instead
/// of a TNtuple. It shows:
///   - how to fill a Tree with a few simple variables.
///   - how to read this Tree
///   - how to browse and analyze the Tree via the TBrowser and TTreeViewer
/// This example can be run in many different ways:
///   1. Using the Cling interpreter
/// ~~~
/// .x tree1.C
/// ~~~
///   2. Using the automatic compiler interface
/// ~~~
/// .x tree1.C++
/// ~~~
///   3. 
/// ~~~
/// .L tree1.C  or .L tree1.C++
/// tree1()
/// ~~~
/// One can also run the write and read parts in two separate sessions.
/// For example following one of the sessions above, one can start the session:
/// ~~~
///   .L tree1.C
///   tree1r();
/// ~~~
/// \macro_code
