Hi Omar, yes, OK, sorry to be slow. By API here you really mean the software library? -y On Apr 2, 2013, at 3:52 PM, Omar Moreno wrote: > Hello Yuri, > > Sorry for the confusion.

When you check out that code (or pull), you will find an examples directory which contains some examples not only showing you how to read the DSTs but also how to read the LCIO files directly using the LCIO API. Specifically, the example TwoTrackAnalysis_example.cxx reads the LCIO collections directly from the LCIO file and looks at events containing two tracks. It then creates some simple plots using this information. It in NO WAY makes use of the DST.

The current version of the converter only uses the LCIO API so the ROOT dictionaries aren't needed anymore. There was an old version of the converter that made use of the LCIO ROOT library but I have moved away from that. >>> >>> There are a couple of ways to access the LCIO files. You can either access the LCIO files directly using only the LCIO API or you can write a ROOT script which loads the LCIO ROOT dictionary. This in turn allows access to the LCIO file from within ROOT. I recommend the former because as you have experienced, generating the ROOT dictionaries sometimes causes issues. If you check out the DST code, you can find an example of how to do this within the examples directory (TwoTrackAnalysis_example.cxx). >>> >>> --Omar Moreno >>> >>> >>> On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 11:46 AM, Yuri Gershtein <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >>> >>> On Apr 2, 2013, at 2:42 PM, Graf, Norman A. wrote: >>> >>>> You only need the lcio root dictionary if you want to access the >>>> lcio files directly from within root. >>> >>> >>> that's exactly what we want to do... >>> >>> -y >>> >>> -------------------------- >>> Prof. Yuri Gershtein >>> [log in to unmask] >>> http://physics.rutgers.edu/~gershtein >>> (732)445-5500 x1794 >>> W316 Serin Building >>> Department of Physics and Astronomy >>> 136 Frelinghuysen Rd >>> Rutgers University >>> Piscataway, NJ 08854 >>> >>> >> >> -------------------------- >> Prof. Yuri Gershtein >> [log in to unmask] >> http://physics.rutgers.edu/~gershtein >> (732)445-5500 x1794 >> W316 Serin Building >> Department of Physics and Astronomy >> 136 Frelinghuysen Rd >> Rutgers University >> Piscataway, NJ 08854 >> >> >> Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list >> >> To unsubscribe from the HPS-SOFTWARE list, click the following link: >> https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=HPS-SOFTWARE&A=1 >> > > -------------------------- Prof. Yuri Gershtein [log in to unmask] http://physics.rutgers.edu/~gershtein (732)445-5500 x1794 W316 Serin Building Department of Physics and Astronomy 136 Frelinghuysen Rd Rutgers University Piscataway, NJ 08854 ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the HPS-SOFTWARE list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=HPS-SOFTWARE&A=1
