What to do with results of running STAF

What to do after running kumac

The standard chain kumacs either write out the staf tables to a file or write a table to an ntuple. You can only make plots from ntuples! You can write files while still in STAF after running (or you could edit a chain ntuple and put the commands in appropriate places.

To write a directory to a file

                $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_file#init  (inputs)
                $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_file#write (inputs)
                $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_file#close (inputs)

To write a table to an ntuple on disk

                $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_ntuple#init_disk (inputs)
                $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_ntuple#write_event_disk (inputs)
                $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_ntuple#close_disk (inputs)

To write a table to an ntuple in memory

                $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_ntuple#init_memory (inputs)
                $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_ntuple#write_event_memory (inputs)

You can now read the ntuple back into STAF (just like PAW) and make a plot:

         hi/file 21 mytable.ntup 0
         nt/li
         nt/print 21
         nt/pl 21.myvariable
