ROOT's greatest appeal to me is the advanced set of C++ graphing tools. I
have a set of existing templated classes (non-ROOT) that contain data
that I want plotted in various ways. Ideally, I would like to create a
new class that encapsulates these plotting routines. Besides the various
initializations required in the main() file, I would like all of the
ROOT functions handled by this class, including creating the canvas.
Would this create any scoping problems for ROOT? Can I declare a canvas
inside a function? Do I need special declarations of the ROOT objects
(extern, etc.)? Are there any example applications someone could point me
to?
Also, my templated classes use the STL containers vector<> and string
extensively. Does this preclude the successful use of CINT compiled into
this stand-alone application (not called from within ROOT)?
Thanks in advance for any pointers, example code, enlightenment, ...
Matt
