A web ROOT viewer.
Fed up with writing plot scripts?
WebOOT aims to make it easy to make navigate between ROOT files and do advanced manipulation on many plots simultaneously.
The first idea is that all plots should be addressable at a URL.
To make WebOOT work, you need PyROOT, ImageMagick, pexpect and filemagic.
Copy & paste these commands into a shell to check:
$ python -c "import ROOT"
$ convert -h
$ python -c "import magic"
This is a simple way to install WebOOT:
git clone git://github.com/rootpy/WebOOT
cd WebOOT/
python setup.py develop --user
If you downloaded WebOOT to Folder_A
and want to browse your ROOT files in Folder_B
,
open a terminal and type
$ cd Folder_A
$ pserve --reload Folder_B/development.ini
You will get a message on your screen that looks like this:
Starting subprocess with file monitor
Starting server in PID 31840.
serving on http://0.0.0.0:6543
Copy & paste the URL into the web browser of your choice and follow the browse
link
( or go directly to http://0.0.0.0:6543/browse/ ).
