Hi everyone,
I am an undergraduate physics researcher. I am trying to make a skewed normal distribution curve to appear on a canvas pad with a histogram for my job. The problem is that my code keeps not working or crashing.
I started off with a “void maincode()” method. I tried making my skewed normal distribution function to appear on a canvas while having my histogram code commented out, but I kept getting the error “Warning in TPad::ResizePad: Inf/NaN propagated to the pad. Check drawn objects.
Warning in TPad::ResizePad: c1_1 height changed from 0 to 10.” At this point, I separated the histogram and function onto two different canvas pads. I recommented in my histogram code, which made my histogram appear on the top canvas pad, but there was nothing at all where the bottom canvas pad was supposed to be.
I then decided to change my method “void maincode()” to “int main()” after seeing many people online use “int main()” for their main code. This made my whole program crash with the following errors:
*** Break *** segmentation violation

There was a crash.

I’m not really sure what is wrong with my code. I figure it might be something to do with how I define my skewed normal distribution in “MyMethod” and pass it to my TF1, “graph_function,” or possibly how my computer is setup to run ROOT CERN.
Here is my most updated code:
#include "TF1.h"
#include "TMath.h"
Double_t MyMethod(Double_t *x, Double_t *par)
{
Double_t exponent = ((-((x[0] - par[2])/par[3]) - par[0]) * (-((x[0] - par[2])/par[3]) - par[0])) / (2 * par[1] * par[1]);
Double_t erf_top_limit = par[4] * (x[0] - par[2]) / (par[3] * TMath::Sqrt(2));
Double_t function = (1 / (par[3] * par[1] * TMath::Sqrt(2 * TMath::Pi()))) * TMath::Exp(exponent) * (1 + TMath::Erf(erf_top_limit));
return function;
}
int main()
{
//Normal Histogram Stuff
//gStyle->SetOptTitle(1);
//gStyle->SetOptStat(0);
TCanvas* c1 = new TCanvas("c1", "", 20, 20, 1000, 1000);
c1->Divide(1,2);
c1->cd(1);
TString filename = "~/Vincent/G4CATS/Out/B4_200MeV.root";
TFile *f = TFile::Open(filename);
TH1F* h1 = new TH1F("Histogram Statistics", "", 300, 180, 210);
TTreeReader r1("B4", f);
TTreeReaderValue<Double_t> Ecore(r1, "Ecore");
TTreeReaderValue<Double_t> Eann1(r1, "Eann1");
TTreeReaderValue<Double_t> Eann2(r1, "Eann2");
TTreeReaderValue<Double_t> Eann3(r1, "Eann3");
TTreeReaderValue<Double_t> Eann4(r1, "Eann4");
TTreeReaderValue<Double_t> Eann5(r1, "Eann5");
TTreeReaderValue<Double_t> Eann6(r1, "Eann6");
while (r1.Next())
{
h1->Fill(*Ecore + *Eann1 + *Eann2 + *Eann3 + *Eann4 + *Eann5 + *Eann6);
}
h1->GetXaxis()->SetTitle("Energy (MeV)");
h1->GetYaxis()->SetTitle("Counts");
h1->SetTitle("Energy Recorded by G4 CATS sim -- 200MeV Photon Beam");
h1->Draw();
//Histogram Stats
Double_t BinWithMostCounts = h1->GetMaximumBin();
Double_t MaxYValue = h1->GetBinContent(BinWithMostCounts);
Double_t CenterPeak = h1->GetBinCenter(BinWithMostCounts);
Double_t StdDev = h1->GetStdDev();
c1->cd(2);
//180 and 210 are the x-axis limits for the graph. 5 means there are 5 parameters being passed to the TF1
TF1 *graph_function = new TF1("graph_function", MyMethod, 180, 210, 5);
//0 is the mean; 1 is the standard deviation; 2 is E; 3 is w; 4 is a (the shape parameter)
graph_function->SetParameter(0, CenterPeak);
graph_function->SetParameter(1, StdDev);
graph_function->SetParameter(2, 0);
graph_function->SetParameter(3, 1);
graph_function->SetParameter(4, -10);
graph_function->Draw("SAME");
return 0;
}
Note that I have indented everything that needs to be indented, but for some reason, this textbox is not showing that. I indented everything except for the two methods, and I double indented the line inside the “while” loop.
Thank you for your help in advance!
