Purpose : To focus the display of the histogram on a particular region of interest(ROI)
between repeated calls to load_data. Suppose the histogram has 32000 points
and we want to focus the histogram display between x=1000 and x=2000.
Now suppose we change our ROI to another area using the finger tool widget displayed
when we take the mouse cursor near the x-axis …just below it.
What function to use and where to locate it so that the previously displayed ROI
is maintained between repeated calls to load_data(…)…
Parts of my code is displayed below …
One more help I need is how to label the x-axis depending on the rate of acquisition
of the data points in the histogram.
Suppose the variable rate holds the rate of acquisition of the points
in the 1-D TH1I histogram :
Double_t rate; if rate = 1.0 ; (points acquired at 1 milli second interval)
how to label x-axis in seconds. And if rate = 0.2 ; (0.2 mS) how to label x-axis…
kindly help as the examples given on the internet are not so simple to understand.

The previous settings I am getting from the following lines before Reset and fill of Histogram :
xmaxint_waveMCA = x_waveMCA->GetLast();
xminint_waveMCA = x_waveMCA->GetFirst();
and I try to set it again after the Reset and fill of the Histogram , but this does not work.
The whole range of the histogram is displayed again…
Sorry for the late answer I was away.
Did you find a solution meanwhile ?
No, I have not yet found an answer. I have been thinking about the solution to this problem and
I plan to use two double pointer sliders, one for each axis, placed at the external edges of the
histogram window to set the range of the axis - x and y. when I get time to implement it and get
it working I will post a reply.
Ok. Let us know.
I ended up requiring double slider only for the x-axis as the y-axis was auto ranging,
In case I may need it in future then I will have to implement the vertical double
slider also, which is similar to the horizontal double slider for which I have added
the following to my code:
In header file add:
mycode.h
#include "TGSlider.h"
#include "TGDoubleSlider.h"
....
public:
TGDoubleHSlider *fHSlider1031;
Float_t WindowHWmax;
Float_t WindowHWmin;
....
In mycode.cpp file in constructor:
....
fHSlider1031 = new TGDoubleHSlider(fVerticalFrame770,1016, kScaleBoth ,-1,kHorizontalFrame);
fHSlider1031->SetName("fHSlider1031");
fHSlider1031->SetRange(0,int (NumWords) ); // NumWords holds the max range value of x-axis
fHSlider1031->SetPosition(0,9000);
fHSlider1031->Associate(this);
fVerticalFrame770->AddFrame(fHSlider1031, new TGLayoutHints(kLHintsLeft | kLHintsTop,2,2,2,2));
fHSlider1031->MoveResize(0,544,1016,24);
....
Bool_t HistWin::ProcessMessage (Long_t msg, Long_t parm1, Long_t parm2)
{
cout << "msg = " << msg << ", parm1 = " << parm1 << ", parm2 = " << parm2 << '\n' ;
switch (GET_MSG (msg))
{
case kC_COMMAND:
.....
break;
......
case kC_HSLIDER:
{ cout << "I am in Slider code" << "\n" ;
WindowHWmax = fHSlider1031->GetMaxPosition();
WindowHWmin = fHSlider1031->GetMinPosition();
cout << "WindowHWmin = " << WindowHWmin << " WindowHWmax = " << WindowHWmax "\n";
fHpx_waveMCA->SetAxisRange(WindowHWmin, WindowHWmax, "X");
cout << "I am here 007" << "\n";
c124->cd();cout << "I am here 008" << "\n";
fHpx_waveMCA->DrawCopy();cout << "I am here 009" << "\n";
c124->Modified();cout << "I am here 010" << "\n";
c124->Update();cout << "I am here 011" << "\n";
gSystem->ProcessEvents();cout << "I am here 012" << "\n";
}
break;
default:
break;
....
And in load_data() function
...
fHpx_waveMCA->SetAxisRange(WindowHWmin, WindowHWmax, "X");
...
I wrote the code last week, tested it out for a week.
The code works excellently, brilliantly, simply superb,…
Hope this is of help to the root coder community.
