Example of analysis class for the H1 data using code generated by MakeProxy. 
This file uses 4 large data sets from the H1 collaboration at DESY Hamburg. One can access these data sets (277 MBytes) from the standard Root web site at: https://root.cern/files/h1/ The Physics plots below generated by this example cannot be produced when using smaller data sets.
There are several ways to analyze data stored in a Root Tree
- Using TTree::Draw: This is very convenient and efficient for small tasks. A TTree::Draw call produces one histogram at the time. The histogram is automatically generated. The selection expression may be specified in the command line.
 
- Using the TTreeViewer: This is a graphical interface to TTree::Draw with the same functionality.
 
- Using the code generated by TTree::MakeClass: In this case, the user creates an instance of the analysis class. They have the control over the event loop and he can generate an unlimited number of histograms.
 
- Using the code generated by TTree::MakeSelector. Like for the code generated by TTree::MakeClass, the user can do complex analysis. However, they cannot control the event loop. The event loop is controlled by TTree::Process called by the user. This solution is illustrated by the current code. The advantage of this method is that it can be run in a parallel environment using PROOF (the Parallel Root Facility).
 
A chain of 4 files (originally converted from PAW ntuples) is used to illustrate the various ways to loop on Root data sets. Each data set contains a Root Tree named "h42"
h1analysProxy.C can be used either via TTree::Draw: 
h42->Draw(
"h1analysisProxy.C");
 
 or it can be used directly with TTree::MakeProxy, for example to generate a shared library. TTree::MakeProxy will generate a TSelector skeleton that include h1analysProxy.C: 
h42->MakeProxy(
"h1sel",
"h1analysisProxy.C");
 
 This produces one file: h1sel.h which does a #include "h1analysProxy.C" The h1sel class is derived from the Root class TSelector and can then be used as: 
h42->Process(
"h1sel.h+");
 
The following members functions are called by the TTree::Process functions.
To use this file, try the following session 
 
Case A: Create a TChain with the 4 H1 data files
The chain can be created by executed the short macro h1chain.C below: 
{
  chain.Add(
"$H1/dstarmb.root");  
 
  chain.Add(
"$H1/dstarp1a.root"); 
 
  chain.Add(
"$H1/dstarp1b.root"); 
 
  chain.Add(
"$H1/dstarp2.root");  
 
}
ROOT::Detail::TRangeCast< T, true > TRangeDynCast
TRangeDynCast is an adapter class that allows the typed iteration through a TCollection.
 
A chain is a collection of files containing TTree objects.
 
Case B: Loop on all events
Root > 
chain.Draw(
"h1analysisProxy.C")
 
Case C: Same as B, but in addition fill the event list with selected entries.
The event list is saved to a file "elist.root" by the Terminate function. To see the list of selected events, you can do elist->Print("all"). The selection function has selected 7525 events out of the 283813 events in the chain of files. (2.65 per cent) 
Root > 
chain.Draw(
"h1analysisProxy.C",
"",
"fillList")
 
  
Case D: Process only entries in the event list
The event list is read from the file in elist.root generated by step C 
Root > 
chain.Draw(
"h1analysisProxy.C",
"",
"useList")
 
The commands executed with the 3 different methods B,C and D produce two canvases shown below: begin_html the Dstar plot end_html begin_html the Tau D0 plot end_html
