I have the problem that I would like to add contents of two similar root files and save them as a new file. An example of such a file can be found here:
/afs/cern.ch/user/h/heineman/public/RobustAlignConstants_20k_14JUL06_8.root
These files have a quite complex structure due to persistency requirements. I am a mere user of these files.
Here is what I would like to do in more detail:
In POOLContainer_AlignableTransform -> AlignableTransform -> m_vec there is m_vec.m_ident.m_id and m_vec.m_trans.
In m_vec.m_trans there is a transformation (dx, dy, etc) stored for each element in m_vec.m_ident.m_id.
I would like to create a new file which
- has the same structure everywhere
- contains new values for dx, dy, etc out of the values from the other two files (let’s say dx(newfile) = (dx(file1) + dx(file2))/2)
Is there any way of doing that? How complicated / impossible is that task?
Thanks for helping,
Florian
