Detailed Description

This tutorial illustrates how use the RDataFrame in combination with a RDataSource.

In this case we use a TRootDS. This data source allows to read a ROOT dataset from a RDataFrame in a different way, not based on the regular RDataFrame code. This allows to perform all sorts of consistency checks and illustrate the usage of the RDataSource in a didactic context.

 
import ROOT
 
# A simple helper function to fill a test tree: this makes the example stand-alone.
def fill_tree(treeName, fileName):
    tdf = ROOT.ROOT.RDataFrame(10000)
    tdf.Define("b1", "(int) tdfentry_").Snapshot(treeName, fileName)
 
 
# We prepare an input tree to run on
fileName = "df011_rootDataSource_py.root"
treeName = "myTree"
fill_tree(treeName, fileName)
 
# Create the data frame
MakeRootDataFrame = ROOT.ROOT.RDF.MakeRootDataFrame
 
d = MakeRootDataFrame(treeName, fileName)
 
# Now we have a regular RDataFrame: the ingestion of data is delegated to
# the RDataSource. At this point everything works as before.
 
h = d.Define("x", "1./(b1 + 1.)").Histo1D(("h_s", "h_s", 128, 0, .6), "x")
 
# Now we redo the same with a RDF and we draw the two histograms
c = ROOT.TCanvas()
c.SetLogy()
h.DrawClone()
