Tree Viewer Draw Error

ROOT
1

Hi,

I may have stumbled upon some form of strange bug (I can’t find any reference to it using the search function on the forum).

I’m using the TreeViewer to look at data I’ve collected and there is one certain plot that doesn’t draw correctly. I will attach an image below. When I ask it to draw one of the branches, it “blanks” part of the image. In the screenshot below, it didn’t draw the bottom half of the image. However, if I resize the bins and draw a different section of the branch, it may “blank” the top or have three or four “blank strips” down the middle of the plot… but it will still show the top and bottom of the plot. It’s very inconsistent in what part it “blanks.” Across all of my resizing, I have seen all of the data points and know that the data has processed correctly because it had been drawn at some point during my resizing. Also, it is only this plot, the rest of my branches came out fine.

Any information would be great,

Zach

EDIT: Also, since I’m starting a new thread. Is it possible to set the default draw/viewer style to something other than “default.” I’ve found reference on here to a “rootlogon.C” but haven’t located it within my installation which is newer than the one that was being discussed when the “rootlogon.C” solution was offered.

I do not understand how you can get this picture. Which version of ROOT are you using?

Concerning the TreeViewer option, you can set the draw option in the option box at the top of the viewer.
There is currently no way to specify this option at login time.

Hi Rene,

I am using Root 5.26. I still have been unable to resolve the drawing issue but it seems to be ONLY this plot and ONLY from this data run. Everything else is working fine. I can’t find what is triggering the issue at all.

Thanks,

Zach

EDIT: I just found another set of data behaving the same way. And after further inspection, almost all of my new data is doing the same thing. Image below:

Could you post the canvas.root file ?

Rene,

I’ve searched my system and don’t see a “canvas.root” file. I have TCanvas.h, TCanvas.d, TCanvas.o,Canvas.C, TQCanvas.h and some other similar files. Most of these I’m assuming are header and execution files; but I’m also very new to this.Which file do you need? Sorry for all the inconvenience.

Is it just TRootCanvas.h? That seems most likely (even though its just the header file) so I will post the contents of that for now:

I’ve figured out the problem, and it wasn’t ROOT. After going through and checking my system, my video card driver had crashed… so I had to do a manual update. After the manual update, it all seems to be working fine.

I apologize for the inconvenience, I never thought to check if the auto-update had crashed the driver.

Thanks for your time,

Zach
