This tutorial demonstrates how the highlight mechanism can be used on an histogram.
A 2D histogram is booked an filled with a random gaussian distribution and drawn with the "col" option. Then an highlight method is connected to the histogram. Moving the mouse on the histogram open a new canvas displaying the two X and Y projections at the highlighted bin.
{
auto h2 =
dynamic_cast<TH2F *
>(obj);
if(!h2) return;
if (!h2->IsHighlight()) {
if (CanvasProj) delete CanvasProj;
h2->SetTitle("Disable highlight");
return;
}
auto px = h2->ProjectionX("_px", yhb, yhb);
auto py = h2->ProjectionY("_py", xhb, xhb);
if (!CanvasProj) {
CanvasProj =
new TCanvas(
"CanvasProj",
"CanvasProj", 505, 0, 600, 600);
CanvasProj->Divide(1, 2);
CanvasProj->cd(1);
px->Draw();
CanvasProj->cd(2);
py->Draw();
}
h2->SetTitle(
TString::Format(
"Highlight bin [%02d, %02d]", xhb, yhb).Data());
CanvasProj->GetPad(1)->Modified();
CanvasProj->GetPad(2)->Modified();
CanvasProj->Update();
}
