WebOOT

------

WebOOT is a [ROOT](http://root.cern.ch/) viewer for the web.

Fed up with writing plot scripts?

## Introduction

WebOOT aims to make it easy to make navigate between ROOT files and do advanced

manipulation on many plots simultaneously.

The first idea is that all plots should be addressable at a URL.

See the presentation at the

[ROOT Users Workshop 2013](http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=217511):

[Abstract](http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=50&confId=217511),

## Prerequisites

To make WebOOT work, you need

[PyROOT](http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/pyroot),

[ImageMagick](http://www.imagemagick.org/),

[pexpect](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pexpect/) and

[filemagic](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/filemagic/).

Copy & paste these commands into a shell to check:

    $ python -c "import ROOT"

    $ convert -h

    $ python -c "import magic"

## Installation

This is a simple way to install WebOOT:

    git clone git://github.com/rootpy/WebOOT

    cd WebOOT/

    python setup.py develop --user

## Usage

    $ cd my/lovely/plots

    $ ~/.local/bin/weboot

You will get a message on your screen that looks like this:

	Starting subprocess with file monitor

	Starting server in PID 31840.

	serving on http://0.0.0.0:6543
