TExec is a utility class that can be used to execute a C++ command when some event happens in a pad.
The command in turn can invoke a C++ macro to paint graphics objects at positions depending on the histogram or graph contents.
The TExec object is in the list of pad primitives (after exec.Draw()). When the pad is drawn, the TExec::Paint function is called. This function will execute the specified command. The following example uses the services of the class Aclock created in $ROOTSYS/test/Aclock.cxx. This examples uses a TTimer to redraw a pad at regular intervals (clock). When the clock is updated, a string with the current date&time is drawn.
The TExec object may be added to the list of functions of a TH1 or TGraph object via hist->GetListOfFunctions()->Add(exec). When the histogram (or graph) is drawn, the TExec will be executed. If the histogram is made persistent on a file, the TExec object is also saved with the histogram. When redrawing the histogram in a new session, the TExec will be executed.
Example:
Assume an histogram TH1F *h already filled.
When the Paint function for the histogram will be called, the "DoSomething" function will be called (interpreted or compiled) and also the macro.C.
A TExec object is automatically generated when invoking TPad::AddExec. Each pad contains a TList of TExecs (0, 1 or more). When a mouse event (motion, click, etc) happens, the pad object executes sequentially this list of TExecs. In the code (interpreted or compiled) executed by the TExec referenced command, one can call the pad service functions such as TPad::GetEvent, TPad::GetEventX, TPad::GetEventY to find which type of event and the X,Y position of the mouse. By default, the list of TExecs is executed. This can be disabled via the canvas menu "Option". See $ROOTSYS/tutorials/hist/exec2.C for an example.
When moving the mouse in the canvas, a second canvas shows the projection along X of the bin corresponding to the Y position of the mouse. The resulting histogram is fitted with a gaussian. A "dynamic" line shows the current bin position in Y. This more elaborated example can be used as a starting point to develop more powerful interactive applications exploiting CINT as a development engine.
The 3 options above can be combined.

virtual |
Execute the command referenced by this object.
if command is given, this command is executed otherwise the default command of the object is executed
if the default command (in the exec title) is empty, an attempt is made to execute the exec name if it contains a "." or a "(", otherwise the command ".x execname.C" is executed. The function returns the result of the user function/script.
