Detailed Description

Build ROOT Ntuple from other source.

This program reads the ‘aptuple.txt’ file row by row, then creates the TNtuple by adding row by row.

opening file /github/home/ROOT-CI/build/tutorials/io/tree/aptuple.txt ...
writing file aptuple.root ...
done

 
import sys, os
from ROOT import TFile, TNtuple, TROOT
 
 
ifn = os.path.join(str(TROOT.GetTutorialDir()), 'io', 'tree', 'aptuple.txt')
ofn = 'aptuple.root'
 
print('opening file %s ...' % ifn)
infile = open( ifn, 'r' )
lines  = infile.readlines()
title  = lines[0]
labels = lines[1].split()
 
print('writing file %s ...' % ofn)
outfile = TFile( ofn, 'RECREATE', 'ROOT file with an NTuple' )
ntuple  = TNtuple( 'ntuple', title, ':'.join( labels ) )
 
for line in lines[2:]:
    words = line.split()
    row = map( float, words )
    ntuple.Fill(*row)
 
outfile.Write()
