Description

RWebWindow class builds the core functionality for web-based widgets in ROOT. It combines all necessary server-side components and provides communication channels with multiple JavaScript clients.

Following new ROOT widgets are build based on RWebWindow functionality:

  • RCanvas – ROOT7 canvas for drawing all kinds of primitives, including
    histograms and graphs
  • RBrowser – hierarchical objects and files browser with integrated viewer
  • RFitPanel – fit panel for ROOT6/ROOT7 data classes
  • REve – interactive event display
  • RGeomViewer – geometry viewer
  • TWebCanvas – lightweight web display for ROOT6 TCanvas

OpenUI5 is used to build user interfaces like combo boxes, menus, dialogs in all web-based widgets. Special component was implemented to provide efficient and scalable hierarchy browser.
