Hi everybody,
I’m trying to analyze data from a simple simulation, specifically I wanted to visualize the hits in my detector with the command:
[10] REST_Tools_CheckReadout( "readouts.root", "pixel", region, mask, N, pId )
in root, after defining the variables used. After getting an error and checking my installed Functions I noticed that all functions under REST_Tools and REST_Viewer failed to install. Did anybody else have this problem and have a solution?
What you mean failed to install? It’s empty in dir $REST_PATH/macros/tools?
Ok so they are installed but can’t be used/found when needed:

Hi,
actually, the best way to check for the available macros once restRoot has been loaded is to use TAB completion. Writing REST_V and pressing TAB key twice.
The macro you are looking for is probably REST_ViewReadout?
Not sure about REST macro validation. If you get problems using any of them just let us know.
You may get a list of macros also doing
restManager ListMacros
or the same in different way
restRoot
[0] REST_ListMacros()
I have documented those I know that are properly working. But sure any macro was working at some point, but with no validation in the pipeline yet means they might become obsolete.
