Description-en: metapackage to install all ROOT packages
The ROOT system provides a set of OO frameworks with all the
functionality needed to handle and analyze large amounts of data
efficiently.
.
With the data defined as a set of objects, specialized storage methods
can give direct access to the separate attributes of the selected
objects, without having to touch the bulk of the data. Included are
histogramming methods in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions, curve fitting, function
evaluation, minimization, graphics and visualization classes to allow the
easy creation of an analysis system that can query and process the data
interactively or in batch mode.
.
The command language, the scripting (or macro) language, and the
programming language are all C++, thanks to the built-in CINT C++
interpreter. This interpreter removes the time consuming compile/link
cycle, allowing for fast prototyping of the macros, and providing a
good environment to learn C++. If more performance is needed, the
interactively developed macros can be compiled using a C++ compiler.
.
The system has been designed in such a way that it can query its
databases in parallel on MPP machines or on clusters of workstations
or high-end PCs. ROOT is an open system that can be dynamically
extended by linking external libraries. This makes ROOT a premier
platform on which to build data acquisition, simulation and data
analysis systems.
.
This package is a metapackage to ensure the installation of all
possible ROOT packages on a system.
