Write RDataFrame.Report to root file

Newbie

Hello,

I am using the report feature of RDataFrame

Is it possible to write the cut-flow to a Rootfile or even better merge via hadd ?

Regards,

Hi,
about writing RCutFlowReports to file: you can write any C++ object to a ROOT file as long as you have dictionaries for it. We currently do not provide dictionaries for RCutFlowReport, but you can create them manually. Reading/writing RCutFlowReports without dictionaries might or might not work.

About merging different RCutFlowReports: we do not provide a way to programmatically merge different RCutFlowReport objects at the moment, but feel free to open a feature request at github.com/root-project/root/issues/

Cheers,
Enrico

Hi,

I had a quick look. If it is the information and not the object you want to save, I often save ‘text’ in root files using a simple TNamed, adding the text as the title…

Cheers
