Plotting tasks

The following tasks are dedicated to plotting. For more information, check out the plotting user guide

Plotting.

• PlotVariables*, PlotShiftedVariables* (e.g. PlotVariables1D, PlotVariables2D, PlotShiftedVariables1D): Tasks to plot the histograms created by CreateHistograms using the python package matplotlib with mplhep style. Several plot types are possible, including plots of variables for different physical processes or plots of variables for a single physical process but different shifts (e.g. jet-energy correction variations). The argument --variables followed by the name of the variables defined in the analysis config, separated by a comma, is needed for these tasks to run. It is also possible to replace the --datasets argument for these tasks by the --processes argument followed by the name of the physical processes to be plotted, as defined in the analysis config. For the PlotShiftedVariables* plots, the argument shift-sources is needed and replaces the argument shift. The output format for these plots can be given with the --file-types argument. It is possible to set a default for the variables in the analysis config.

• PlotCutflow* (e.g. PlotCutflow, PlotCutflowVariables1D): Tasks to plot the histograms created by CreateCutflowHistograms. The PlotCutflowVariables1D are plotted in a similar way to the “PlotVariables*” tasks. The difference is that these plots show the selection yields of the different selection steps defined in SelectEvents instead of only after the ReduceEvents procedure. The selection steps to be shown can be chosen with the --selector-steps argument. Without further argument, the outputs are as much plots as the number of selector steps given. On the other hand, the PlotCutflow task gives a single histograms containing only the total event yields for each selection step given.
