Offline Software using ROOT in STAR | Maintained by G. Van Buren |
Effective software requires effective documentation. Please follow the guidelines for documentation set forth in STAR Documentation when writing code for STAR software.
Guides and resources are available at three levels for the STAR software user:
- The STAR Software Guide provides links to README files and documentation for STAR software packages.
- Available Root Macros
- Root Folklore Forum (find answers to less frequently asked questions about Root)
- Software Bulletin Board (find answers to questions about STAR software)
The most detailed guide to the software is the code itself. In STAR, we are attempting to provide self-documenting software using HTML. This resource is reached through the following links:
To install ROOT on your Microsoft Windows desktop consult http://root.bnl.gov
To install it on other platforms consult the Building ROOT in STAR document.
