NAME¶
compare-histos - generate comparison histograms
SYNOPSIS¶
compare-histos [
options]
aidafile1[:'PlotOption1=Value':'PlotOption2=Value'] [aidafile2 ...]
OPTIONS¶
- -h, --help
- show this help message and exit
- -R, --rivet-refs
- use Rivet reference data files (default)
- --no-rivet-refs
- don't use Rivet reference data files
- -o OUTDIR, --outdir=OUTDIR
- write data files into this directory
- --hier-out
- write output dat files into a directory hierarchy which matches the
analysis paths
- --plotinfodir=PLOTINFODIR
- directory which may contain plot header information (in addition to
standard Rivet search paths)
- --no-rmgapbins
- disable attempting to remove 'gap' bins from MC histos when they don't
appear in the ref file
- --refid=REF_ID
- ID of reference data set (file path for non-REF data)
- --linear
- plot with linear scale
- --logarithmic
- plot with logarithmic scale (default behaviour)
- --mc-errs
- show vertical error bars on the MC lines
- --no-ratio
- disable the ratio plot
- --rel-ratio
- show the ratio plots scaled to the ref error
- --abs-ratio
- show the ratio plots with an absolute scale
- --no-plottitle
- don't show the plot title on the plot (useful when the plot description
should only be given in a caption)
- --style=STYLE
- change plotting style: default|bw|talk
- -c CONFIGFILES, --config=CONFIGFILES
- additional plot config file(s). Settings will be included in the output
configuration.
- --show-single=SHOW_SINGLE
- control if a plot file is made if there is only one dataset to be plotted
[default=mc]. If the value is 'no', single plots are always skipped, for
'ref' and 'mc', the plot will be written only if the single plot is a
reference plot or an MC plot respectively, and 'all' will always create
single plot files. The 'ref' and 'all' values should be used with great
care, as they will also write out plot files for all reference histograms
without MC traces: combined with the -R /--rivet-refs flag, this is
a great way to write out several thousand irrelevant reference data
histograms!
- --show-mc-only, --all
- make a plot file even if there is only one dataset to be plotted and it is
an MC one. Deprecated and will be removed: use --show-single
instead, which overrides this.
- -m PATHPATTERNS, --match=PATHPATTERNS
- Only write out histograms whose $path/$name string matches these regexes.
The argument may also be a text file.
- -M PATHUNPATTERNS, --unmatch=PATHUNPATTERNS
- Exclude histograms whose $path/$name string matches these regexes
- -q, --quiet
- Suppress normal messages
- -v, --verbose
- Add extra debug messages
The plot options are described in the make-plots manual in the HISTOGRAM
section.
