Tensions Plots

Scripts for plotting data/MC comparisons. These scripts read in the output of NUISANCE's nuiscomp tool and make overlay comparison plots. Tools are included for 1D distributions and grids of 1D plots for multi-dimensional measurements.

Usage

Run make to build plotter.

To run:

$ ./plotter -c config/config.json

Note that you'll need to adjust the config file to set paths to your nuiscomp files.

Configuration

Plots are configured using a JSON file.

Generators

The section generators contains generator settings with the following fields:

• filename: ROOT file containing nuiscomp output histograms
• title: Display title for the generator (used in plot legends)
• color: A ROOT color number for this generator's histograms

Plots

The section plots contains plot specifications with the following fields:

• sample (required): Name of the NUISANCE sample
• legend_pos (optional): Legend positioning. Either a string with upper/ lower and left/right center (one of UL, UC, UR, LL, LC, LR), or an array of four numbers setting the (x1, y1, x2, y2) corners.
• xrange (optional): A two-element array setting the minimum and maximum x.
• type: Type of plot (1D, 2DSlice, 2DProjection), defaults to 1D
• annotate: A TLatex annotation

For 2D plots, there are extra parameters:

• nrows and ncols: Define the 2D plot grid
• subplot: Setting that get passed to all the 1D subplots
• annotate: An array of TLatex annotations for each plot in the grid

For an example, see config/config.json.
