Member Function Documentation

void plot ( bool  logY = false,
bool  logX = false,
bool  userBorders = false 
)

Plot a frame given the information from the new and add calls.

Generate the Python code for plotting a frame.

HistPlot class. Writes a Python program that can generate PDF plots from Hist histograms.

Start new file or add to existing one.

Loop through the vector of histograms.

Histogram information for plotting, especially x and y borders.

Split plotting style and potential colour information.

Write histogram itself to a data file as two columns of (x,y) values.

Write code to plot histogram.

Loop through the vector of already existing files, if any.

Split plotting style and potential colour information.

Find out whether and what kind of error bars should be plotted.

Write code to plot existing file. Trivial but tedious error bars.

Set borders and write axes.

Write title and labels, and create plot.

Update table counter. Done.
