18A TFolder object is a collection of objects and folders.
19Folders have a name and a title and are identified in the folder hierarchy
20by a "Unix-like" naming mechanism. The root of all folders is //root.
21New folders can be dynamically added or removed to/from a folder.
22The folder hierarchy can be visualized via the TBrowser.
23

25
26The Root folders hierarchy can be seen as a whiteboard where objects
27are posted. Other classes/tasks can access these objects by specifying
28only a string pathname. This whiteboard facility greatly improves the
29modularity of an application, minimizing the class relationship problem
30that penalizes large applications.
31
32Pointers are efficient to communicate between classes.
33However, one has interest to minimize direct coupling between classes
34in the form of direct pointers. One better uses the naming and search
35service provided by the Root folders hierarchy. This makes the classes
36loosely coupled and also greatly facilitates I/O operations.
37In a client/server environment, this mechanism facilitates the access
38to any kind of object in //root stores running on different processes.
39
40A TFolder is created by invoking the TFolder constructor. It is placed
41inside an existing folder via the TFolder::AddFolder method.
42One can search for a folder or an object in a folder using the FindObject
43method. FindObject analyses the string passed as its argument and searches
44in the hierarchy until it finds an object or folder matching the name.
45
46When a folder is deleted, its reference from the parent folder and
47possible other folders is deleted.
48
49If a folder has been declared the owner of its objects/folders via
50TFolder::SetOwner, then the contained objects are deleted when the
51folder is deleted. By default, a folder does not own its contained objects.
52
53NOTE that folder ownership can be set
54 - via TFolder::SetOwner
55 - or via TCollection::SetOwner on the collection specified to TFolder::AddFolder
56
57Standard Root objects are automatically added to the folder hierarchy.
58For example, the following folders exist:
59 //root/Files with the list of currently connected Root files
60 //root/Classes with the list of active classes
61 //root/Geometries with active geometries
62 //root/Canvases with the list of active canvases
63 //root/Styles with the list of graphics styles
64 //root/Colors with the list of active colors
65
66For example, if a file "myFile.root" is added to the list of files, one can
67retrieve a pointer to the corresponding TFile object with a statement like:
68~~~ {.cpp}
69 TFile *myFile = (TFile*)gROOT->FindObject("//root/Files/myFile.root");
70~~~
71The above statement can be abbreviated to:
72~~~ {.cpp}
73 TFile *myFile = (TFile*)gROOT->FindObject("/Files/myFile.root");
74~~~
75or even to:
76~~~ {.cpp}
77 TFile *myFile = (TFile*)gROOT->FindObjectAny("myFile.root");
78~~~
79In this last case, the TROOT::FindObjectAny function will scan the folder hierarchy
80starting at //root and will return the first object named "myFile.root".
81
82Because a string-based search mechanism is expensive, it is recommended
83to save the pointer to the object as a class member or local variable
84if this pointer is used frequently or inside loops.
