RootSpy is a system for the distributed viewing of ROOT histograms.

ifarm1101> RSArchiver -h
Usage:
       RSArchiver [options]

Saves ROOT histograms being stored by programs running the RootSpy plugin.

Options:

   -h,--help                 Print this message
   -u,--udl udl              UDL of cMsg RootSpy server
   -q,--daq-udl udl          UDL of cMsg CODA server
   -s,--server server-name   Set RootSpy UDL to point to server IP/hostname
   -S,--session-name name    Name of CODA session
   -f,--force                Start program assuming run is already in progress
   -p,--poll-delay time      Time (in seconds) to wait between polling seconds
   -F,--output-file file     Name of ROOT file used to store output of the current run
   -A,--archive-dir path     Directory used to store archived ROOT files
   -P,--pdf-output           Enable output of summary PDF
   -H,--html-output          Enable output of summary web pages
   -R,--summary-dir path     Directory used to store summary files

The RootSpy JANA plugin and a sample program are included in the DRootSpy package.

Downloads

RootSpy is distributed in the standard Hall D online software environment.

However, RootSpy can be used with any program that uses the ROOT libraries, and a standalone distribution is available for download below.

RootSpy 0.0.2

GUI:

~~Fix statistics box display~~
Optimize display
~~Different y-axes for current/archived overlaid hists~~
~~Add button for moving to previous histogram~~
~~Save/load working set of histograms~~ - fixes needed to Select Hists dialog?
Specify display options at run time (maybe using ROOT scripts?)
~~Run certain scripts (e.g. fits) on histograms and display/save output~~

~~Revamp interface~~ - keyboard shortcuts
Display archived 2D histos side-by-side
Displaying multiple histogram at once
Add more display settings (dialogue to set them), e.g. where/if should we normalize, log vs. linear y axis...

Archiver:

Implement "final histogram" mechanism with JANA plugin
~~Output image files to web~~
~~PDF summary output~~
~~Add configuration file~~
Save TTrees?

 RootSpy is a system for the distributed viewing of ROOT histograms.
-*TODO*
+===Details===
+The RootSpy package provides two primary programs:
+* A GUI program (RootSpy) for the interactive viewing of histograms
+* A command line program (RSArchiver) that collects and archives the histograms for later analysis.
+RSArchiver has several options (see the output of 'RSArchiver -h' below) that can be set either on the command line or in a configuration file.  A sample configuration file is included as 'dot-RSArchiver'.
