This project provides a few Python libraries to easily plot ROOT objects.

rdir

interface to browse multiple ROOT files.

rplot

interface to plot ROOT objects.

rplotsh

script to interactively browse multiple ROOT files, read objects, and plot them.

r2mpl

ROOT to matplotlib translation layer.

At the moment there are no install scripts. So all you need to do is add a symlink to the python script rplotsh.py somewhere in your path. This is what I do:

$ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ ln -s ~/bin/rplotsh /path/to/repo/rplotsh.py

After the above steps, rplotsh should work from anywhere.

plot <object> | <list>

set grid ...
set linestyle | linecolour | linewidth ...
set stack
set legends ...

• [X] list objects

  lsmem [memobj]...
      

• [ ] move objects to container

  mv <memobj>... <container>
      

cat | print [-v] <obj>

• For histograms, graphs, etc, show contents
• For trees, show branch information

• Inspect (range of) entries, branches
• Looping constructs
• Splicing trees into subtrees by selection. How to do this?
  • entrylist: book keeping
  • clonetree: possible memory issues

• Browse workspace

• State “WInP” from “TODO” [2015-05-23 Sat 11:49]

Histograms in mpl still retain the dataset granularity, whereas it is lost in ROOT. Need to fake this behaviour during conversion.
