Detailed Description

Add custom information to the display.

To use it, simply create a DisplayData object using StoreObjPtr and call the functions to add custom data. For example:

StoreObjPtr<DisplayData> displayData;
displayData.create();
 
//let's label the interaction point
displayData.addLabel("IP", ROOT::Math::XYZVector(0, 0, 0));
 
//add some dots along the x axis
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
  displayData.addPoint("pointset", ROOT::Math::XYZVector(i*10.0, 0, 0));
}
 
//add an arrow to point to (0, 0, -2m)
displayData.addArrow("z=-2m", ROOT::Math::XYZVector(100, 100, -200),
        ROOT::Math::XYZVector(0, 0, -200), kGray);

You can then save the output of your module to a file and view it with 'b2display', or look at it directly after execution by adding the Display module in your steering file.

Member Function Documentation

addArrow()

void addArrow	(	const std::string &	name,
		const ROOT::Math::XYZVector &	start,
		const ROOT::Math::XYZVector &	end,
		int	color = -1 )

Add an arrow in the display (for axes, to point out some specific location).

Parameters

name	Text to be shown beside arrow.
start	The arrow will start here.
end	The pointy end ends up here.
color	Color_t to use for this object, default: random color.

Definition at line 24 of file DisplayData.cc.

{
  m_arrows.push_back(Arrow {name, start, end, color});
}

addHistogram()

void addHistogram	(	const std::string &	name,
		const TH1 *	hist )

Add histogram with the given name.

The histogram will show up in the 'Histograms' tab and can be drawn on the active canvas by double-clicking it.

Definition at line 39 of file DisplayData.cc.

{
  auto* newhist = static_cast<TH1*>(hist->Clone(name.c_str()));
  newhist->SetDirectory(nullptr);
  m_histograms.push_back(newhist);
}

addLabel()

void addLabel	(	const std::string &	text,
		const ROOT::Math::XYZVector &	pos )

Add a text label at the given position.

Definition at line 34 of file DisplayData.cc.

{
  m_labels.emplace_back(text, pos);
}

addPoint()

void addPoint	(	const std::string &	name,
		const ROOT::Math::XYZVector &	pos )

Add a point at the given position, as part of a collection specified by name.

All points with the same name will be highlighted when clicked etc.

Definition at line 29 of file DisplayData.cc.

{
  m_pointSets[name].push_back(pos);
}

select()

void select

(

const TObject *

object

)

Select the given object in the display.

Only has an effect if the object actually has a visualisation. Can be called multiple times to select more than one object.

Parameters

object

object to select, must be inside a StoreArray

Definition at line 46 of file DisplayData.cc.

{
  //where is this thing stored?
  DataStore::StoreEntry* storeEntry = nullptr;
  int index = -1;
  DataStore::Instance().findStoreEntry(object, storeEntry, index);
 
  if (storeEntry) {
    m_selectedObjects.emplace_back(storeEntry->name, index);
  } else {
    B2WARNING("DisplayData::select(): object must be part of a StoreArray!");
  }
}
