uproot-browser 0.9.0

Tools to inspect ROOT files with uproot

uproot-browser

uproot-browser is a plotext based command line library in which the command line interface is provided by Click. It is powered by Hist and it's TUI is put together by Textual. Its aim is to enable a user to browse and look inside a ROOT file, completely via the terminal. It takes its inspiration from the ROOT object browser.

Installation

You can install this library from PyPI with pip:

python3 -m pip install uproot-browser

You can also use pipx run or uvx to run the library without installing it; for example, this will let you try it out in one line:

uvx uproot-browser[testdata] --testdata uproot-Event.root

Features

uproot-browser currently provides the following features (get help with -h or --help, view the current version with --version):

• browse can be used to display a TUI (text user interface), acts as default if no subcommand specified.
• plot can be used to display a plot.
• tree can be used to display a tree.

Examples

This example uses data from the scikit-hep-testdata package. The --testdata flag will load from there if it is installed; use the [testdata] extra if you want to play with it.

browse command:

uproot-browser browse --testdata uproot-Event.root

plot command:

uproot-browser plot --testdata uproot-Event.root:hstat
                        hstat -- Entries: 1000

If you're on macOS and using iTerm2, click here:

You can get an iterm plot, the required dependencies can be installed via:

python3 -m pip install uproot-browser[iterm]

Or can be run via pipx without installing:

pipx run uproot-browser[iterm]

Adding the argument --iterm gives us the plot:

uproot-browser plot --testdata uproot-Event.root:hstat --iterm

tree command:

uproot-browser tree --testdata uproot-Event.root
