Class supporting a collection of lines with C++ code.

A TMacro can be executed, saved to a ROOT file, edited, etc.

A macro can be built line by line by calling the AddLine function. or it can be created directly from a file via the special constructor when the first argument is a file name.

A macro can be executed via the Exec function. Arguments can be specified when calling Exec.

A macro can be drawn in a pad. When the pad is updated, the macro is automatically executed.

The code in the macro can be saved via the SaveSource function. If the macro is in the list of primitives of a pad/canvas, the macro will be saved in the script generated by TCanvas::SaveSource.

A macro can be written to a ROOT file via TObject::Write.

Examples:

TMacro m("Peaks.C");  //macro m with name "Peaks" is created
                      //from file  Peaks.C
m.Exec();             //macro executed with default arguments
m.Exec("4");          //macro executed with argument
m.SaveSource("newPeaks.C");
TFile f("mymacros.root","recreate");
m.Write();   //macro saved to file with name "Peaks"

Create a macro with a name and a title.

If name contains a '.' it is assumed to be the name of a file, and

the macro is automatically filled by reading all the lines in the file,
if the title is empty, it will be set to the name of the file,
the name will be set to the filename without path or extension.
