[Gate-users] How to extract scatter fraction from the ROOT output?

[SL H]

Hi, Xinjie.
I have followed your suggestion and converted the ROOT file to a text (it
is so large for MATLAB to read) using the code on this page:
http://root.cern.ch/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16590.
After that I got something like the attached picture1. I used TBrowser to
check my ROOT file and found there are two Singles and two
Hits( attached picture2), which one should I convert to text for filtering
scatter data?
And in the Gate user doc, I can not find the look up table which you said,
there is not much information about the ROOT output, could you please give
me some instructions or an example to filter the scatter data?
Thank you!
