Arguments

x object of class DataTreeSet.
treename name of tree, must be present in rootfile of object x.
leafname leaf name of tree, usual “fInten” or “fBg”.
logbase usually “log2”, or “0”, determines if leaf data should be converted to log.

Details

Creates a ROOT image for tree treename present in rootfile.

To zoom-in move the mouse cursor to the x-axis (y-axis) until it changes to a hand and click-drag to select an axis-range. To unzoom move the mouse cursor to the x-axis (y-axis) until it changes to a hand and right-click to select “Unzoom”.

By selecting menu “File->Save->canvasname.xxx” you can save the figure as e.g. *gif, *.jpg, *.pdf, *.ps or even as C++ macro.

Alternatively, you can save the plot by setting save.as. However, this will close the canvas immediately after opening it.

Note

Always select menu item “Quit ROOT” from menu “File” to close the ROOT canvas, otherwise you are in the CINT C/C++ interpreter from ROOT. To exit CINT, you need to type “.q”.
