2dim array of THF1 with variable dimensions

ROOT

How can I allocate a 2 dim array [of THF1] with its dims being defined at a later point in the code. The following did not work:
class DrawIt{
//…
void GetHistosTest;
TH1F* PhHistos_10;
DrawIt::DrawIt(): PhHistos_10=NULL
{}
void DrawIt::GetHistosTest(){
int const dima=DimA; int const dimb=DimB;
PhHistos_10= new TH1F[dima][dimb];
for(int a=0;a<dima;a++){
for(int b=0;b<dimb;b++){
GetHistosFile(FirstLoopSet[a],SecondLoopSet[b], FirstNoLoopSet[0], SecondNoLoopSet[0]);
TH1F* hist=(TH1F*) gDirectory->Get(“H_Alpha_UpLeft”);
hist->SetDirectory(0);
HistosFile->Close(“R”);
PhHistos_10[a][b]=hist;
}}
}

Hi,

I think I understand from your example

void DrawIt::GetHistosTest()
{
   int const dima = DimA;
   int const dimb = DimB;
   PhHistos_10 = new TH1F[dima][dimb];
   for (int a = 0; a < dima; a++) {
      for (int b = 0; b < dimb; b++) {
         GetHistosFile(FirstLoopSet[a], SecondLoopSet[b], FirstNoLoopSet[0], SecondNoLoopSet[0]);
         TH1F *hist = (TH1F *) gDirectory->Get("H_Alpha_UpLeft");
         hist->SetDirectory(0);
         HistosFile->Close("R");
         PhHistos_10[a][b] = hist;
      }
   }
}

that the quantities dima and dimb are known at the moment of allocating the array: is this accurate?
If this is the case you just need to allocate a an array of pointers (TH1F* PhHistos_10[dima][dimb] ) and fill it with the histograms in the files you open.

Hallo Danilo,
actually dima and dimb are not known at the moment of allocating the array.
I run many cases. in each the dimensions are different. the array should be allocated at initializing time before knowing the dimensions.

I try to display 2-dim array as a histogram, but it does not work.

I have created a tree which consist of some branches. One of these branches is branch of 2dim arrays.
If I try to display it by using Draw() method or TBrowser class It gives me absolutely wrong picture.
But If I use , for instance, mytree-> Draw(“mybranch[1][3]”) it works.

What is a problem?

Hi,

That seems to be a new topic - it would have been better had you created a new one instead of adding to this one…

That said, how is the picture wrong? What do you expect mytree->Draw(“mybranch”) to do versus what you get?

Cheers, Axel.

i agree with you but I do not know how to start a new topic.

That one is easy to answer :slight_smile: Go to the relevant forum (e.g. viewforum.php?f=3) and hit the big button on top, the one labeled “New Topic” :slight_smile:

Cheers, Axel.
