1.2.6. References

The ROOT environment [BR97] has already been under development for a long time now, it’s documentation is very well advanced and is organised with different level of precision. One can indeed find many useful information in:

• The ROOT user guide (https://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/guides/users-guide/ROOTUsersGuideA4.pdf): useful and relatively complete gathering of information. It might be helpful to keep it locally as a reference.

• The ROOT Class index (https://root.cern.ch/root/html/ClassIndex.html): Very complete description of all the classes and their methods. One can spent hour passing through these pages to discover what’s doable using the various objects. It is even possible to mask/show inherited method for sake of simplicity.

There are also many examples and macros that show how to handle the objects provided:

• The Howto website: https://root.cern.ch/howtos

• All the macro contained in the tutorial folder, installed once ROOT has been installed (check in the $ROOTSYS/tutorials folder).
