rootplot


Information about the package, rootplot, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The rootplot package is designed for, Plots ROOT data with matplotlib.


Package Name:

rootplot

Summary:

Plots ROOT data with matplotlib

Description:

ROOT is a powerful data analysis tool within the particle physics community, and the primary lens through which we see our data. The framework includes quite a bit of graphical capabilities, but producing high-quality graphics output was not the first priority in designing its capabilities or its interface. It becomes useful, then, to consider using an outside library focused on graphics for producing final plots. The pyROOT interface to ROOT makes it easy to have ROOT objects interact with other python modules. The goal of rootplot is to enable easy plotting of ROOT histograms using the full-featured and mature matplotlib library.
