TChain Class Reference

A chain is a collection of files containing TTree objects.

When the chain is created, the first parameter is the default name for the Tree to be processed later on.

Enter a new element in the chain via the TChain::Add function. Once a chain is defined, one can use the normal TTree functions to Draw,Scan,etc.

Use TChain::SetBranchStatus to activate one or more branches for all the trees in the chain.

Definition at line 33 of file TChain.h.

◆ TChain() [3/3]

TChain::TChain ( const char *  name,
const char *  title = "",
Mode  mode = kWithGlobalRegistration 
)

Create a chain.

A TChain is a collection of TFile objects. the first parameter "name" is the name of the TTree object in the files added with Add. Use TChain::Add to add a new element to this chain.

In case the Tree is in a subdirectory, do, eg:

TChain ch("subdir/treename");
A chain is a collection of files containing TTree objects.
Definition TChain.h:33

Example: Suppose we have 3 files f1.root, f2.root and f3.root. Each file contains a TTree object named "T".

TChain ch("T"); creates a chain to process a Tree called "T"
ch.Add("f1.root");
ch.Add("f2.root");
ch.Add("f3.root");
ch.Draw("x");
#define a(i)
Definition RSha256.hxx:99

The Draw function above will process the variable "x" in Tree "T" reading sequentially the 3 files in the chain ch.

The TChain data structure:

Each TChainElement has a name equal to the tree name of this TChain and a title equal to the file name. So, to loop over the TFiles that have been added to this chain:

TObjArray *fileElements=chain->GetListOfFiles();
TIter next(fileElements);
TChainElement *chEl=0;
while (( chEl=(TChainElement*)next() )) {
TFile f(chEl->GetTitle());
... do something with f ...
}
#define f(i)
Definition RSha256.hxx:104
A TChainElement describes a component of a TChain.
A ROOT file is a suite of consecutive data records (TKey instances) with a well defined format.

◆ Add() [1/2]

Int_t TChain::Add ( const char *  name,
Long64_t  nentries = TTree::kMaxEntries 
)
virtual

Add a new file to this chain.

Parameters
[in]nameThe path to the file to be added. See below for details.
[in]nentriesNumber of entries in the file. This can be an estimate or queried from the file. See below for details.
Returns
There are different possible return values:
  • If nentries>0 (including the default of TTree::kMaxEntries) and no wildcarding is used, ALWAYS returns 1 irrespective of whether the file exists or contains the correct tree.
  • If wildcarding is used, regardless of the value of nentries, returns the number of files matching the name irrespective of whether they contain the correct tree.
  • If nentries<=0 and wildcarding is not used, returns 1 if the file exists and contains the correct tree and 0 otherwise.

Details of the name parameter

There are two sets of formats accepted for the parameter name . The first one is:

[//machine]/path/file_name[?[query][#tree_name]]
or [//machine]/path/file_name.root[.oext][/tree_name]

Note the following:

  • If the tree_name part is missing, it will be assumed that the file contains a tree with the same name as the chain.
  • Tagging the name of the tree with a slash (e.g. /tree_name ) is only supported for backward compatibility; it requires the file name to contain the string '.root' and its use is deprecated. Instead, use the form ?#tree_name (that is an "?" followed by an empty query), for example:
    // DO NOT DO THIS
    // c.Add("myfile.root/treename");
    // DO THIS INSTEAD
    c.Add("myfile.root?#treename");
    #define c(i)
    Definition RSha256.hxx:101
    virtual Int_t Add(TChain *chain)
    Add all files referenced by the passed chain to this chain.
    Definition TChain.cxx:218
  • Wildcard treatment is triggered by any of the special characters: []*? which may be used in the file name, eg. specifying "xxx*.root" adds all files starting with xxx in the current file system directory.

The second format accepted for name may have the form of a URL, e.g.:

root://machine/path/file_name[?[query][#tree_name]]
or root://machine/path/file_name
or root://machine/path/file_name.root[.oext]/tree_name
or root://machine/path/file_name.root[.oext]/tree_name?query

Note the following:

  • The optional "query" token is to be interpreted by the remote server.
  • Wildcards may be supported in URLs, depending on the protocol plugin and the remote server.
  • http or https URLs can contain a query identifier without tree_name, but generally URLs can not be written with them because of ambiguity with the wildcard character. (Also see the documentation for TChain::AddFile, which does not support wildcards but allows the URL name to contain a query).
  • The rules for tagging the name of the tree in the file are the same as in the format above.

Details of the nentries parameter

Depending on the value of the parameter, the number of entries in the file is retrieved differently:

  • If nentries <= 0, the file is connected and the tree header read in memory to get the number of entries.
  • If nentries > 0, the file is not connected, nentries is assumed to be the number of entries in the file. In this case, no check is made that the file exists and that the corresponding tree exists as well. This second mode is interesting in case the number of entries in the file is already stored in a run data base for example.
  • If nentries == TTree::kMaxEntries (default), the file is not connected. The number of entries in each file will be read only when the file will need to be connected to read an entry. This option is the default and very efficient if one processes the chain sequentially. Note that in case TChain::GetEntry(entry) is called and entry refers to an entry in the 3rd file, for example, this forces the tree headers in the first and second file to be read to find the number of entries in these files. Note that calling TChain::GetEntriesFast after having created a chain with this default returns TTree::kMaxEntries ! Using TChain::GetEntries instead will force all the tree headers in the chain to be read to get the number of entries in each tree.

The TChain data structure

Each element of the chain is a TChainElement object. It has a name equal to the tree name of this chain (or the name of the specific tree in the added file if it was explicitly tagged) and a title equal to the file name. So, to loop over the files that have been added to this chain:

TObjArray *fileElements=chain->GetListOfFiles();
for (TObject *op: *fileElements) {
auto chainElement = static_cast<TChainElement *>(op);
TFile f{chainElement->GetTitle()};
TTree *tree = f.Get<TTree>(chainElement->GetName());
// Do something with the file or the tree
}
Mother of all ROOT objects.
Definition TObject.h:41
A TTree represents a columnar dataset.
Definition TTree.h:79
Definition tree.py:1
Note
To add all the files of a another TChain to this one, use TChain::Add(TChain* chain).

Definition at line 362 of file TChain.cxx.

◆ Add() [2/2]

Int_t TChain::Add ( TChain chain)
virtual

Add all files referenced by the passed chain to this chain.

The function returns the total number of files connected.

Definition at line 218 of file TChain.cxx.

◆ AddFile()

Int_t TChain::AddFile ( const char *  name,
Long64_t  nentries = TTree::kMaxEntries,
const char *  tname = "" 
)
virtual

Add a new file to this chain.

Filename formats are similar to TChain::Add. Wildcards are not applied. urls may also contain query and fragment identifiers where the tree name can be specified in the url fragment.

eg.

root://machine/path/file_name[?query[#tree_name]]
root://machine/path/file_name.root[.oext]/tree_name[?query]

If tree_name is given as a part of the file name it is used to as the name of the tree to load from the file. Otherwise if tname argument is specified the chain will load the tree named tname from the file, otherwise the original treename specified in the TChain constructor will be used. Tagging the tree_name with a slash [/tree_name] is only supported for backward compatibility; it requires the file name ot contain the string '.root' and its use is deprecated.

A. If nentries <= 0, the file is opened and the tree header read into memory to get the number of entries.

B. If nentries > 0, the file is not opened, and nentries is assumed to be the number of entries in the file. In this case, no check is made that the file exists nor that the tree exists in the file. This second mode is interesting in case the number of entries in the file is already stored in a run database for example.

C. If nentries == TTree::kMaxEntries (default), the file is not opened. The number of entries in each file will be read only when the file is opened to read an entry. This option is the default and very efficient if one processes the chain sequentially. Note that in case GetEntry(entry) is called and entry refers to an entry in the third file, for example, this forces the tree headers in the first and second file to be read to find the number of entries in those files. Note that if one calls GetEntriesFast() after having created a chain with this default, GetEntriesFast() will return TTree::kMaxEntries! Using the GetEntries() function instead will force all of the tree headers in the chain to be read to read the number of entries in each tree.

D. The TChain data structure Each TChainElement has a name equal to the tree name of this TChain and a title equal to the file name. So, to loop over the TFiles that have been added to this chain:

TObjArray *fileElements=chain->GetListOfFiles();
TIter next(fileElements);
TChainElement *chEl=0;
while (( chEl=(TChainElement*)next() )) {
TFile f(chEl->GetTitle());
... do something with f ...
}

The function returns 1 if the file is successfully connected, 0 otherwise.

◆ AddFileInfoList()

Int_t TChain::AddFileInfoList ( TCollection filelist,
Long64_t  nfiles = TTree::kMaxEntries 
)
virtual

Add all files referenced in the list to the chain.

The object type in the list must be either TFileInfo or TObjString or TUrl . The function return 1 if successful, 0 otherwise.

Definition at line 585 of file TChain.cxx.

◆ AddFriend() [1/3]

TFriendElement * TChain::AddFriend ( const char *  chain,
const char *  dummy = "" 
)
virtual

Add a TFriendElement to the list of friends of this chain.

A TChain has a list of friends similar to a tree (see TTree::AddFriend). You can add a friend to a chain with the TChain::AddFriend method, and you can retrieve the list of friends with TChain::GetListOfFriends. This example has four chains each has 20 ROOT trees from 20 ROOT files.

TChain ch("t"); // a chain with 20 trees from 20 files
TChain ch1("t1");
TChain ch2("t2");
TChain ch3("t3");

Now we can add the friends to the first chain.

ch.AddFriend("t1")
ch.AddFriend("t2")
ch.AddFriend("t3")

The parameter is the name of friend chain (the name of a chain is always the name of the tree from which it was created). The original chain has access to all variable in its friends. We can use the TChain::Draw method as if the values in the friends were in the original chain. To specify the chain to use in the Draw method, use the syntax:

<chainname>.<branchname>.<varname>

If the variable name is enough to uniquely identify the variable, you can leave out the chain and/or branch name. For example, this generates a 3-d scatter plot of variable "var" in the TChain ch versus variable v1 in TChain t1 versus variable v2 in TChain t2.

ch.Draw("var:t1.v1:t2.v2");

When a TChain::Draw is executed, an automatic call to TTree::AddFriend connects the trees in the chain. When a chain is deleted, its friend elements are also deleted.

The number of entries in the friend must be equal or greater to the number of entries of the original chain. If the friend has fewer entries a warning is given and the resulting histogram will have missing entries. For additional information see TTree::AddFriend.

◆ CanDeleteRefs()

void TChain::CanDeleteRefs ( Bool_t  flag = kTRUE)
virtual

When closing a file during the chain processing, the file may be closed with option "R" if flag is set to kTRUE.

by default flag is kTRUE. When closing a file with option "R", all TProcessIDs referenced by this file are deleted. Calling TFile::Close("R") might be necessary in case one reads a long list of files having TRef, writing some of the referenced objects or TRef to a new file. If the TRef or referenced objects of the file being closed will not be referenced again, it is possible to minimize the size of the TProcessID data structures in memory by forcing a delete of the unused TProcessID.

◆ Fill()

virtual Int_t TChain::Fill ( )
inlinevirtual

Fill all branches.

This function loops on all the branches of this tree. For each branch, it copies to the branch buffer (basket) the current values of the leaves data types. If a leaf is a simple data type, a simple conversion to a machine independent format has to be done.

This machine independent version of the data is copied into a basket (each branch has its own basket). When a basket is full (32k worth of data by default), it is then optionally compressed and written to disk (this operation is also called committing or 'flushing' the basket). The committed baskets are then immediately removed from memory.

The function returns the number of bytes committed to the individual branches.

If a write error occurs, the number of bytes returned is -1.

If no data are written, because, e.g., the branch is disabled, the number of bytes returned is 0.

The baskets are flushed and the Tree header saved at regular intervals

At regular intervals, when the amount of data written so far is greater than fAutoFlush (see SetAutoFlush) all the baskets are flushed to disk. This makes future reading faster as it guarantees that baskets belonging to nearby entries will be on the same disk region. When the first call to flush the baskets happen, we also take this opportunity to optimize the baskets buffers. We also check if the amount of data written is greater than fAutoSave (see SetAutoSave). In this case we also write the Tree header. This makes the Tree recoverable up to this point in case the program writing the Tree crashes. The decisions to FlushBaskets and Auto Save can be made based either on the number of bytes written (fAutoFlush and fAutoSave negative) or on the number of entries written (fAutoFlush and fAutoSave positive). Note that the user can decide to call FlushBaskets and AutoSave in her event loop base on the number of events written instead of the number of bytes written.

Note
Calling TTree::FlushBaskets too often increases the IO time.
Calling TTree::AutoSave too often increases the IO time and also the file size.
This method calls TTree::ChangeFile when the tree reaches a size greater than TTree::fgMaxTreeSize. This doesn't happen if the tree is attached to a TMemFile or derivate.

◆ LoadBaskets()

Int_t TChain::LoadBaskets ( Long64_t  maxmemory)
virtual

Dummy function.

It could be implemented and load all baskets of all trees in the chain. For the time being use TChain::Merge and TTree::LoadBasket on the resulting tree.

◆ LoadTree()

Long64_t TChain::LoadTree ( Long64_t  entry)
virtual

Find the tree which contains entry, and set it as the current tree.

Returns the entry number in that tree.

The input argument entry is the entry serial number in the whole chain.

In case of error, LoadTree returns a negative number:

  • -1: The chain is empty.
  • -2: The requested entry number is less than zero or too large for the chain.
  • -3: The file corresponding to the entry could not be correctly open
  • -4: The TChainElement corresponding to the entry is missing or the TTree is missing from the file.
  • -5: Internal error, please report the circumstance when this happen as a ROOT issue.
  • -6: An error occurred within the notify callback.

Note: This is the only routine which sets the value of fTree to a non-zero pointer.

Definition at line 1859 of file TChain.cxx.

◆ Merge() [1/4]

Long64_t TChain::Merge ( const char *  name,
Option_t option = "" 
)
virtual

Merge all the entries in the chain into a new tree in a new file.

See important note in the following function Merge().

If the chain is expecting the input tree inside a directory, this directory is NOT created by this routine.

So in a case where we have:

TChain ch("mydir/mytree");
ch.Merge("newfile.root");

The resulting file will have not subdirectory. To recreate the directory structure do:

TFile* file = TFile::Open("newfile.root", "RECREATE");
file->mkdir("mydir")->cd();
ch.Merge(file, 0);
static TFile * Open(const char *name, Option_t *option="", const char *ftitle="", Int_t compress=ROOT::RCompressionSetting::EDefaults::kUseCompiledDefault, Int_t netopt=0)
Create / open a file.

◆ Merge() [4/4]

Long64_t TChain::Merge ( TFile file,
Int_t  basketsize,
Option_t option = "" 
)
virtual

Merge all the entries in the chain into a new tree in the current file.

Note: The "file" parameter is not the file where the new tree will be inserted. The new tree is inserted into gDirectory, which is usually the most recently opened file, or the directory most recently cd()'d to.

If option = "C" is given, the compression level for all branches in the new Tree is set to the file compression level. By default, the compression level of all branches is the original compression level in the old trees.

If basketsize > 1000, the basket size for all branches of the new tree will be set to basketsize.

Example using the file generated in $ROOTSYS/test/Event merge two copies of Event.root

gSystem.Load("libEvent");
TChain ch("T");
ch.Add("Event1.root");
ch.Add("Event2.root");
ch.Merge("all.root");
R__EXTERN TSystem * gSystem
Definition TSystem.h:560
virtual int Load(const char *module, const char *entry="", Bool_t system=kFALSE)
Load a shared library.
Definition TSystem.cxx:1858

If the chain is expecting the input tree inside a directory, this directory is NOT created by this routine.

So if you do:

TChain ch("mydir/mytree");
ch.Merge("newfile.root");

The resulting file will not have subdirectories. In order to preserve the directory structure do the following instead:

TFile* file = TFile::Open("newfile.root", "RECREATE");
file->mkdir("mydir")->cd();
ch.Merge(file, 0);

If 'option' contains the word 'fast' the merge will be done without unzipping or unstreaming the baskets (i.e., a direct copy of the raw bytes on disk).

When 'fast' is specified, 'option' can also contains a sorting order for the baskets in the output file.

There is currently 3 supported sorting order:

SortBasketsByOffset (the default)
SortBasketsByBranch
SortBasketsByEntry

When using SortBasketsByOffset the baskets are written in the output file in the same order as in the original file (i.e. the basket are sorted on their offset in the original file; Usually this also means that the baskets are sorted on the index/number of the last entry they contain)

When using SortBasketsByBranch all the baskets of each individual branches are stored contiguously. This tends to optimize reading speed when reading a small number (1->5) of branches, since all their baskets will be clustered together instead of being spread across the file. However it might decrease the performance when reading more branches (or the full entry).

When using SortBasketsByEntry the baskets with the lowest starting entry are written first. (i.e. the baskets are sorted on the index/number of the first entry they contain). This means that on the file the baskets will be in the order in which they will be needed when reading the whole tree sequentially.

IMPORTANT Note 1: AUTOMATIC FILE OVERFLOW

When merging many files, it may happen that the resulting file reaches a size > TTree::fgMaxTreeSize (default = 100 GBytes). In this case the current file is automatically closed and a new file started. If the name of the merged file was "merged.root", the subsequent files will be named "merged_1.root", "merged_2.root", etc. fgMaxTreeSize may be modified via the static function TTree::SetMaxTreeSize. When in fast mode, the check and switch is only done in between each input file.

IMPORTANT Note 2: The output file is automatically closed and deleted.

This is required because in general the automatic file overflow described above may happen during the merge. If only the current file is produced (the file passed as first argument), one can instruct Merge to not close and delete the file by specifying the option "keep".

The function returns the total number of files produced. To check that all files have been merged use something like:

if (newchain->GetEntries()!=oldchain->GetEntries()) {
... not all the file have been copied ...
}

◆ ParseTreeFilename()

void TChain::ParseTreeFilename ( const char *  name,
TString filename,
TString treename,
TString query,
TString suffix 
) const
private

Get the tree url or filename and other information from the name.

A treename and a url's query section is split off from name. The splitting depends on whether the resulting filename is to be subsequently treated for wildcards or not, since the question mark is both the url query identifier and a wildcard. Wildcard matching is not done in this method itself.

[xxx://host]/a/path/file_name[?query[#treename]]

The following way to specify the treename is still supported with the constrain that the file name contains the sub-string '.root'. This is now deprecated and will be removed in future versions.

[xxx://host]/a/path/file.root[.oext][/treename]
[xxx://host]/a/path/file.root[.oext][/treename][?query]

Note that in a case like this

[xxx://host]/a/path/file#treename

i.e. anchor but no options (query), the filename will be the full path, as the anchor may be the internal file name of an archive. Use '?#treename' to pass the treename if the query field is empty.

Parameters
[in]nameis the original name
[out]filenamethe url or filename to be opened or matched
[out]treenamethe treename, which may be found in a url fragment section as a trailing part of the name (deprecated). If not found this will be empty.
[out]queryis the url query section, including the leading question mark. If not found or the query section is only followed by a fragment this will be empty.
[out]suffixthe portion of name which was removed to from filename.

◆ SetEntryList()

void TChain::SetEntryList ( TEntryList elist,
Option_t opt = "" 
)
virtual

Set the input entry list (processing the entries of the chain will then be limited to the entries in the list).

Parameters
[in]elistThe entry list to be assigned to this chain.
[in]optAn option string. Possible values are:
  • "" (default): both the file names of the chain elements and the file names of the TEntryList sublists are expanded to full path name.
  • "ne": the file names are taken as they are and not expanded
  • "sync": the TChain will go through the TEntryList in lockstep with the trees in the chain rather than performing a lookup based on treename and filename. This is mostly useful when the TEntryList has multiple sublists for the same tree and filename.
Exceptions
std::runtime_errorIf option "sync" was chosen and either:
  • elist doesn't have sub entry lists.
  • the number of sub entry lists in elist is different than the number of trees in the chain.
  • any of the sub entry lists in elist doesn't correspond to the tree of the chain with the same index (i.e. it doesn't share the same tree name and file name).

This function finds correspondence between the sub-lists of the TEntryList and the trees of the TChain.

Definition at line 2678 of file TChain.cxx.

◆ SetEntryListFile()

void TChain::SetEntryListFile ( const char *  filename = "",
Option_t opt = "" 
)
virtual

Set the input entry list (processing the entries of the chain will then be limited to the entries in the list).

This function creates a special kind of entry list (TEntryListFromFile object) that loads lists, corresponding to the chain elements, one by one, so that only one list is in memory at a time.

If there is an error opening one of the files, this file is skipped and the next file is loaded

File naming convention:

  • by default, filename_elist.root is used, where filename is the name of the chain element
  • xxx$xxx.root - $ sign is replaced by the name of the chain element

If the list name is not specified (by passing filename_elist.root/listname to the TChain::SetEntryList() function, the first object of class TEntryList in the file is taken.

It is assumed, that there are as many list files, as there are elements in the chain and they are in the same order

Definition at line 2823 of file TChain.cxx.

◆ SetEventList()

void TChain::SetEventList ( TEventList evlist)
virtual

This function transfroms the given TEventList into a TEntryList.

NOTE, that this function loads all tree headers, because the entry numbers in the TEventList are global and have to be recomputed, taking into account the number of entries in each tree.

The new TEntryList is owned by the TChain and gets deleted when the chain is deleted. This TEntryList is returned by GetEntryList() function, and after GetEntryList() function is called, the TEntryList is not owned by the chain any more and will not be deleted with it.

◆ SetMakeClass()

virtual void TChain::SetMakeClass ( Int_t  make)
inlinevirtual

Set all the branches in this TTree to be in decomposed object mode (also known as MakeClass mode).

For MakeClass mode 0, the TTree expects the address where the data is stored to be set by either the user or the TTree to the address of a full object through the top level branch. For MakeClass mode 1, this address is expected to point to a numerical type or C-style array (variable or not) of numerical type, representing the primitive data members. The function's primary purpose is to allow the user to access the data directly with numerical type variable rather than having to have the original set of classes (or a reproduction thereof).

◆ SetProof()

void TChain::SetProof ( Bool_t  on = kTRUE,

Bool_t  gettreeheader = kFALSE 
)
virtual

Enable/Disable PROOF processing on the current default Proof (gProof).

"Draw" and "Processed" commands will be handled by PROOF. The refresh and gettreeheader are meaningful only if on == kTRUE. If refresh is kTRUE the underlying fProofChain (chain proxy) is always rebuilt (even if already existing). If gettreeheader is kTRUE the header of the tree will be read from the PROOF cluster: this is only needed for browsing and should be used with care because it may take a long time to execute.

Definition at line 2987 of file TChain.cxx.

◆ SetWeight()

void TChain::SetWeight ( Double_t  w = 1,
Option_t option = "" 
)
virtual

Set chain weight.

The weight is used by TTree::Draw to automatically weight each selected entry in the resulting histogram. For example the equivalent of

chain.Draw("x","w")

is

chain.SetWeight(w,"global");
chain.Draw("x");

By default the weight used will be the weight of each Tree in the TChain. However, one can force the individual weights to be ignored by specifying the option "global". In this case, the TChain global weight will be used for all Trees.
