// This program provides a demonstration of the string shoving model supplied
// in the Rope Hadronization framework. It produces four histograms
// shoving the emergence of a "ridge" in two-particle correlations at high
// event multiplicity.
// No kind of background subtraction, event mixing, triggering or similar
// is done is this simple demonstration analysis. It should therefore not be
// taken as anything but a proof of concept.
