class TList: public TSeqCollection


TList

A doubly linked list. All classes inheriting from TObject can be
inserted in a TList. Before being inserted into the list the object
pointer is wrapped in a TObjLink object which contains, besides
the object pointer also a previous and next pointer.

There are basically four ways to iterate over a TList (in order
of preference, if not forced by other constraints):
1) Using the R__FOR_EACH macro:
GetListOfPrimitives()->R__FOR_EACH(TObject,Paint)(option);

2) Using the TList iterator TListIter (via the wrapper class
TIter):
TIter next(GetListOfPrimitives());
while ((TObject *obj = next()))
obj->Draw(next.GetOption());

3) Using the TList iterator TListIter and std::for_each
algorithm:
 A function object, which will be applied to each element
 of the given range.
struct STestFunctor {
bool operator()(TObject *aObj) {

return true;
}
}


TIter iter(mylist);
for_each( iter.Begin(), TIter::End(), STestFunctor() );

4) Using the TObjLink list entries (that wrap the TObject*):
TObjLink *lnk = GetListOfPrimitives()->FirstLink();
while (lnk) {
lnk->GetObject()->Draw(lnk->GetOption());
lnk = lnk->Next();
}

5) Using the TList's After() and Before() member functions:
TFree *idcur = this;
while (idcur) {


idcur = (TFree*)GetListOfFree()->After(idcur);
}

Methods 2, 3 and 4 can also easily iterate backwards using either
a backward TIter (using argument kIterBackward) or by using
LastLink() and lnk->Prev() or by using the Before() member.

Function documentation

~TList()
 Delete the list. Objects are not deleted unless the TList is the
 owner (set via SetOwner()).
void AddFirst(TObject* obj)
 Add object at the beginning of the list.
void AddFirst(TObject* obj, Option_t* opt)
 Add object at the beginning of the list and also store option.
 Storing an option is useful when one wants to change the behaviour
 of an object a little without having to create a complete new
 copy of the object. This feature is used, for example, by the Draw()
 method. It allows the same object to be drawn in different ways.
void AddLast(TObject* obj)
 Add object at the end of the list.
void AddLast(TObject* obj, Option_t* opt)
 Add object at the end of the list and also store option.
 Storing an option is useful when one wants to change the behaviour
 of an object a little without having to create a complete new
 copy of the object. This feature is used, for example, by the Draw()
 method. It allows the same object to be drawn in different ways.
void AddBefore(const TObject *before, TObject *obj)
 Insert object before object before in the list.
void AddBefore(TObjLink *before, TObject *obj)
 Insert object before the specified ObjLink object. If before = 0 then add
 to the head of the list. An ObjLink can be obtained by looping over a list
 using the above describe iterator method 3.
void AddAfter(const TObject *after, TObject *obj)
 Insert object after object after in the list.
void AddAfter(TObjLink *after, TObject *obj)
 Insert object after the specified ObjLink object. If after = 0 then add
 to the tail of the list. An ObjLink can be obtained by looping over a list
 using the above describe iterator method 3.
void AddAt(TObject* obj, Int_t idx)
 Insert object at position idx in the list.
TObject * After(const TObject* obj) const
 Returns the object after object obj. Obj is found using the
 object's IsEqual() method.  Returns 0 if obj is last in list.
TObject * At(Int_t idx) const
 Returns the object at position idx. Returns 0 if idx is out of range.
TObject * Before(const TObject* obj) const
 Returns the object before object obj. Obj is found using the
 object's IsEqual() method.  Returns 0 if obj is first in list.
void Clear(Option_t* option = "")
 Remove all objects from the list. Does not delete the objects
 unless the TList is the owner (set via SetOwner()) and option
 "nodelete" is not set.
 If option="nodelete" then don't delete any heap objects that were
 marked with the kCanDelete bit, otherwise these objects will be
 deleted (this option is used by THashTable::Clear()).
void Delete(Option_t* option = "")
 Remove all objects from the list AND delete all heap based objects.
 If option="slow" then keep list consistent during delete. This allows
 recursive list operations during the delete (e.g. during the dtor
 of an object in this list one can still access the list to search for
 other not yet deleted objects).
void DeleteLink(TObjLink* lnk)
 Delete a TObjLink object.
TObject * FindObject(const char *name)
 Find an object in this list using its name. Requires a sequential
 scan till the object has been found. Returns 0 if object with specified
 name is not found. This method overrides the generic FindObject()
 of TCollection for efficiency reasons.
TObject * FindObject(const TObject *obj)
 Find an object in this list using the object's IsEqual()
 member function. Requires a sequential scan till the object has
 been found. Returns 0 if object is not found.
 This method overrides the generic FindObject() of TCollection for
 efficiency reasons.
TObjLink * FindLink(const TObject* obj, Int_t& idx) const
 Returns the TObjLink object that contains object obj. In idx it returns
 the position of the object in the list.
TObject * First() const
 Return the first object in the list. Returns 0 when list is empty.
TObject ** GetObjectRef(const TObject* obj) const
 Return address of pointer to obj
TObject * Last() const
 Return the last object in the list. Returns 0 when list is empty.
TObjLink * LinkAt(Int_t idx) const
 Return the TObjLink object at index idx.
TIterator * MakeIterator(Bool_t dir = kIterForward) const
 Return a list iterator.
TObjLink * NewLink(TObject* obj, TObjLink* prev = NULL)
 Return a new TObjLink.
TObjLink * NewOptLink(TObject* obj, Option_t* opt, TObjLink* prev = NULL)
 Return a new TObjOptLink (a TObjLink that also stores the option).
void RecursiveRemove(TObject* obj)
 Remove object from this collection and recursively remove the object
 from all other objects (and collections).
TObject * Remove(TObject *obj)
 Remove object from the list.
TObject * Remove(TObjLink *lnk)
 Remove object link (and therefore the object it contains)
 from the list.
void Sort(Bool_t order = kSortAscending)
 Sort linked list. Real sorting is done in private function DoSort().
 The list can only be sorted when is contains objects of a sortable
 class.
Bool_t LnkCompare(TObjLink* l1, TObjLink* l2)
 Compares the objects stored in the TObjLink objects.
 Depending on the flag IsAscending() the function returns
 true if the object in l1 <= l2 (ascending) or l2 <= l1 (descending).
TObjLink ** DoSort(TObjLink** head, Int_t n)
 Sort linked list.
void Streamer(TBuffer& b)
 Stream all objects in the collection to or from the I/O buffer.

TList(TObject *)

void Add(TObject* obj)
