treeClient.C File Reference

Detailed Description

Client program which creates and fills 2 histograms and a TTree.

Every 1000000 fills the histograms and TTree is send to the server which displays the histogram.

To run this demo do the following:

• Open at least 2 windows
• Start ROOT in the first windows
• Execute in the first window: .x fastMergeServer.C
• Execute in the other windows: root.exe -b -l -q .x treeClient.C (You can put it in the background if wanted). If you want to run the hserv.C on a different host, just change "localhost" in the TSocket ctor below to the desired hostname.
