I thought I knew my local woods – I walk there almost every day. But it’s a thrill to see it through fresh eyes, to develop a much deeper understanding.’– Peter Gibbs, Chair of BBC Gardeners’ Question Time Lombardy poplars are often planted in a line that marks the edge of a property, village or farm. They are so easy to recognise once you know them, standing taller than the other trees in the landscape, with thin branches that reach for the sky. With practice it becomes instinctive to spot their forms, and I regularly use them to identify the location of a hidden village. The Lombardy is a member of the water-loving poplar family, so it is often a double clue: civilisation next to water.

value=[23,20,25]’ describes the repartition of these irises among the tree possible classes of iris species, i.e. 23 for the setosa, 20 for the versicolor, and 25 for the virginica; First you insert the tree entry numbers you want to process into the TEntryList. entryList = ROOT . TEntryList ( "entryListName" , "Title of the entry list" ) for entry in tree : if entry . missingET < 100 : entryList . Enter ( tree . GetReadEntry ()) myFile = ROOT . TFile . Open ( "entrylist.root" , "RECREATE" ) myFile . WriteObject ( entrylist ) To allow more efficient pre-fetching and better chunking of tree data stored in ROOT files, TTree groups baskets into clusters. A tree consists of a list of independent columns, called branches. A branch can contain values of any fundamental type, C++ objects known to ROOT’s type system, or collections of those.
