IStatisticsSvc.h

Go to the documentation of this file.

/*
 *  IStatisticsSvc.h
 *
 *  Provides 'Event Store' like access to ROOT objects (hist, graph, tree, etc.)
 *  - Data can be shared between algorithms.
 *  - Data is not cleared each event loop, so it can be used to collect
 *    statistics, fill trees, etc.
 *  - Some suggested types:
 *     - Histograms: TH1F, TH2F, TH3F
 *     - Single numbers: TParameter<int>, TParameter<double>
 *     - Tables of data: TTree
 *     - Graphs: TGraph, TGraphErrors
 *
