Hi, I noticed a slight but annoying difference when using PyROOT under ROOT6. This occurs using the regular interpreter and IPython. If you do:
import ROOT
h = ROOT.TH1D("h","h",10,0,10)
h.Draw()under ROOT5, the default canvas window pops up and the histogram and axes are shown. Under ROOT6, the canvas window pops up, but the histogram is not drawn. You need to either click on the window to trigger an Update(), or use ROOT.gPad.Update().
I am still using 6.00.00, not the newer 6.01. This is on OSX 10.9 using python 2.7.7.
Also I just discovered a new peculiar behavior. If you quit with Ctrl+D without updating the canvas, it quits normally. If you clicked on the canvas or used ROOT.gPad.Update(), Ctrl+D triggers a seg fault! Here’s the printed messages:
*** Break *** segmentation violation
