TF1Convolution in Python

[jikim]

Dear experts,

I’m trying to use ‘TF1Convolution’ function in my python code, based on C++ example as following.
But, I don’t know how I should express ‘*f_conv’ in the python.
I just tried ‘f_conv’ without star, but it didn’t work.
Would you please give some comments?

Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Jiyoung

example:

   TF1Convolution *f_conv = new TF1Convolution("expo","gaus",-1,6,true);
   f_conv->SetRange(-1.,6.);
   f_conv->SetNofPointsFFT(1000);
   TF1   *f = new TF1("f",*f_conv, 0., 5., f_conv->GetNpar());
   f->SetParameters(1.,-0.3,0.,1.);

python:

        f_conv = TF1Convolution("expo", "gaus", -10, 10, kTRUE)
        f_conv.SetRange(-2, 2)
        f_conv.SetNofPointsFFT(1000)
        print(f_conv.GetNpar())
        fitfunction_conv = TF1("fitfunction_conv", f_conv, -2, 2, f_conv.GetNpar())

Dear @jikim

What error do you see when running the Python version of your code?

Dear Enric,

It doesn’t make an error message. the code, itself, is working.
But, it also did not make a fit-function (fitfunction_conv) correctly.
When I use C version of the code, I can see the convoluted function (f->Draw()).
But, in python, it show flat line on zero.

Cheers,

Hi Enric,

I just found the problem.
I tried to use the exactly same fit range and values (which is used in C example), in python.
It works… ;d
Maybe my fit parameters are the problem.
I should have checked it before posting. Sorry.
It solved now, thanks!

Best regards,
