There is probably a file called outfile.root in your workdir after running tagmix.cc. The root file has a large number of histograms and several TTrees (ntuples) inside it. The first step to examining the contents is starting a root session from your workdir.
> bbrroot -l // the -l option bypasses some graphics which are displayed on startup
To quit a root session, type
>.q
To load a file into memory, and some other useful commands
>TFile f("output.root") // This loads output.root into an object called f, you can use any name instead of f
>f.ls() // This lists all the contents in f
>goodB->Draw() // Put the name of any histogram plus the Draw() funtion and it will be displayed
>dataTree->Scan() // Shows the entire contents of the root-tuple, including values of variables
>dataTree->Print() // Prints the names of the variables in the root-tuple
>dataTree->Scan("dt:cat", "tag_cat ==1") // Show only the values of these variables with a cut on tag_cat applied
>dataTree->Draw("dmass") // Makes a histogram of dmass from dataTree contents
Hints:
1) Tab continue works
in root!
To run a macro:
> .x (macro name) // See ~cleclerc/srt/8.8.0c-physics-1/workdir for macro examples. Also RooFitTools/examples.
