Hi,
could you please advise, how to draw TNtuple data?
I have a couple of problems:
1./ I wanted to read MS Excel .csv data, i.e. in the file the separators are comma and new line. Is there a way to give separator other than space?
2./ It looks like that I can read my data from a file, even I can display them, but not quite in the format I prefer. Although I set the marker size to 0, on some graphs a huge gray dot is visible where my data points are. What is the right way to format them?
(actually, I display the first dataset last. For the first drawn graph, I set the marker size to 0 before the first Draw(), and there are no markers here. After this, I draw one more data set, and there are markers there. Then I set the marker size to 3 and there are markers on the 3rd graph, in unchanged size.)
3./ What I really want, it is to show the first data set with markers and the rest with lines. I see no way to disable lines completely when I want only markers and vice versa. Is there a way to do so?
3./ What is the algorithm to set the vertical scale? It looks like it is set according to the data in the first dataset I draw.
(An interesting feature: if I change the vertical User Range from the one set by ROOT to, say, to [4000,30000], the scale changes correspondingly and the markers are ONLY displayed in the region which was originally visible)
4./ How can i connect a TLegend to the TNtuple graphs?
5./ Is somewhere the TNtuple documented? (selecting options, etc.)
6./ After reading an TNtuple from a file, can I reach the individual data vectors somehow?
Thanks
Janos
PS: attaching a file to my mail does not work reliably for me. It it surely no problem with the first file, but sometimes the second either is not visible that it is attached or not attached. Now I wanted to attach my datafile, too, but ‘Posted attachments’ shown only the macro file. Despite that I added 3 times my data file, only the macro is visible in the preview.
