Create and fill Monitored::Group with a vector of variables
It would be useful to be able to fill variables in the fillHistograms()
of AthMonitorAlgorithm subclasses with a vector of monitored variables. This is a pretty trivial feature to add, since the existing constructor of Monitored::Group
class just takes the variadic list of monitored variables as a brace-enclosed initializer list in the initializer list of the Monitored::Group
class.
This will allow users to add, for example, a series of monitored variables to a vector in a loop, and add all of these variables to a single group without listing all of these variables explicitly.
Changes:
- Add a new
Monitored::Group
constructor. (N.B. this class is not exactly the same as the old meaning of "group", but rather a new class that allows one to cluster variables together that should be filled in unison.) The new constructor just copies the vector from the constructor argument to the member variable. - Reorganization of the
AthMonitorAlgorithm::fill
functions. The base fill function takes the ToolHandle of the group and a vector of the variables that are to be monitored. The two existing templated functions (for variadic list of monitored variables) now simply call this base function. Finally, for completeness, a new function which takes the group name and a vector of variables was added, which also relies on the base fill. - Added an example usage of each of the four AthMonitorAlgorithm fill() functions to the
ExampleMonitorAlogirithm
.
