No canvas displayed

ROOT Version: 6.18
Platform: Linux Mint
Compiler: Not Provided

I have installed ROOT 6.18. When I type canvas on ROOT terminal it shows two warning message, but no canvas is displayed. Even I type c1->Draw(); canvas is not displayed.

TCanvas *c1=new TCanvas(“a”,“a”,1,1,600,600);

Warning in TCanvas::ResizePad: a width changed from 0 to 10

Warning in TCanvas::ResizePad: a height changed from 0 to 10

Try:

root-config --etcdir
ls -al `root-config --etcdir`/system.rootrc

How did you start your session?
Does ROOTs splashscreen show up when you
type just:

 root

Could you show the complete session log
including the start command

Hi,

When I type root on the terminal it shows ROOT splash screen and then display below message on terminal without any error or warning message.

root-config --etcdir gives output

/home/pc/root/root/etc

and ls -al root-config --etcdir/system.rootrc gives following output

-rw-r–r-- 1 pc pc 33176 Aug 24 15:48 /home/pc/root/root/etc/system.rootrc

So, it seems that the “etc” directory does exist (btw. are you sure that it belongs to the ROOT version that you try to run?).

Is it possible that you have multiple ROOT version installed and their libraries got mixed?
Inspect:

which root
which root.exe
root-config --libdir
echo ${PATH}
echo ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

Inspect also all of these files (if you have any, they may contain entries valid for some older / another ROOT version):

ls -la ${HOME} ./ | grep "root[rl]" # .rootrc [.]rootlogon.C

which root O/P is
/home/pc/root/root/bin/roo

which root.exe O/P is
/home/pc/root/root/bin/root.exe

root-config --libdir O/P is
/home/pc/root/root/lib

echo ${PATH} O/P is
/home/pc/root/root//bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

echo ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} O/P is
/home/pc/root/root//lib:/lib:

You may check (it should be “/home/pc/root/root”):

echo ${ROOTSYS}

Did you build your ROOT version on your machine or did you take some “binary distribution” (which may be somehow incompatible with your operating system)?

@axel For the moment I cannot see anything wrong in this setup.

Axel · September 11, 2019, 12:47pm

Key questions are:

where did you get ROOT from?
what does gVirtualX->GetName() show?
Cheers, Axel.

Wile_E_Coyote · September 11, 2019, 1:01pm

Note that you should get something like this:

[...]$ root
[... shows the "splash screen" and prints the "Welcome to ROOT" ...]
root [0] gSystem->Getenv("ROOTSYS")
(const char *) "/full/path/to/your/root/distribution"
root [1] gVirtualX->GetName()
(const char *) "Batch"
root [2] new TCanvas()
(TCanvas *) 0x1df98b0
root [3] gVirtualX->GetName()
(const char *) "X11TTF"
root [4] .q
[...]$

pcsati · September 12, 2019, 4:34am

echo ${ROOTSYS} gives
/home/pc/root/root

splashscreen is displayed after typing root on the terminal without any error

root [0]  gSystem->Getenv("ROOTSYS")
(const char *) "/home/pc/root/root"
root [1]  gVirtualX->GetName()
(const char *) "Batch"
root [2]  new TCanvas()
Error in <TGHScrollBar::TGHScrollBar>: arrow_*.xpm not found

These missing icons should be in $ROOTSYS/icons/. Are they ?
