[Rivet] Moving plotting metadata out of source filesFrank Siegert frank.siegert at durham.ac.ukTue Jul 14 16:56:37 BST 2009
Hi Riveters, I have committed a change to trunk today, which moves the plotting metadata (like title, xlabel, ylabel) out of the analysis source files and into plain text files in data/plotinfo/. The reasoning behind it (in addition to code cosmetics) is the wish for optionally setting more plot related information, like logarithmic axes on/off, legend position, ..., which would be too cumbersome to drag through the source code. So whenever you come across a plot now that needs some additional love to look presentable, please take the time to add the necessary information (in make-plots syntax) to the respective file in data/plotinfo. I have already migrated all title/xlabel/ylabel information from the .cc files. The only place where this information gets used at the moment is compare- histos, but in the long term (i.e. when YODA arrives) we want to make it programmatically accessible as well. Hope you find it useful, and please let me know if you notice anything strange or broken. Cheers, Frank
