TSimpleAnalysis Class Reference

A TSimpleAnalysis object creates histograms from a TChain.

These histograms are stored to an output file. The histogrammed (TTreeFormula) expressions, their cuts, the input and output files are configured through a simple config file that allows comments starting with '#'. Here an example of configuration file:

# This is an example of configuration file
file_output.root   #the output file in which histograms are stored
 
# The next line has the name of the tree of the input data. It is
# optional if there is exactly one tree in the first input file.
ntuple   #name of the input tree
 
# The lines of the next block correspond to .root input files that
# contain the tree
hsimple1.root   #first .root input file
hsimple2.root   #second .root input file
 
# The next block is composed by lines that allow to configure the
# histograms. They have the following syntax:
# NAME = EXPRESSION if CUT
# which corresponds to chain->Draw("EXPRESSION >> NAME", "CUT")
# i.e. it will create a histogram called NAME and store it in
# file_output.root.
# "if CUT" is optional
hpx=px if px<-3   #first histogram
hpxpy=px:py    #second histogram
 
# End of the configuration file

It is possible to use the script rootdrawtree that allows to use the class just in command line through the bash shell.
