Loading macros in path from within a function

ROOT
1

Hello, I have this function in my macro. The idea is that when I load the macro using

[quote] .x interana_plotter.C
[/quote]

it calls the below function, setting the style immediately for all the subsequent functions:

void interana_plotter(){
  gROOT->LoadMacro("AtlasStyle.C");
  SetAtlasStyle();
  gROOT->LoadMacro("AtlasLabels.C");
}

but I get the error:

/Users/Stuart/lab-book/code/interana/macros/interana_plotter.C:3:3: error: use of undeclared identifier 'SetAtlasStyle'
  SetAtlasStyle();

If I type in the code manually it is fine, because the atlas style macros are in my path defined in my .rootrc.

What is going on here? It appears that when defined within a function, it needs to know all the symbols defined within, but I don’t know how to load the macros otherwise! Presumably there is an easy fix.

Try:
gROOT->ProcessLineSync(“SetAtlasStyle();”);
