Detailed Description

Proxy tag for a recob::SpacePoint collection with charge.

See also: proxy::getChargedSpacePoints(), proxy::SpacePointWithCharge, proxy::ChargedSpacePointsCollectionProxy

This type can be used to get a proxy for recob::SpacePoint collection with charge. Normally, you want to use proxy::getChargedSpacePoints() directly instead:

auto spacePoints = proxy::getChargedSpacePoints(event, pointsTag);

An example of usage for a simple space point processing loop:

void MyAnalyzer::analyze(art::Event const& event) {
  auto points = proxy::getChargedSpacePoints(event, pointsTag);
  if (points.empty()) {
    mf::LogVerbatim("ProxyTest")
      << "No points in '" << pointsTag.encode() << "'";
    return;
  }
  mf::LogVerbatim log("ProxyTest");
  for (auto point: points) {
    log << "\nPoint at " << point.position() << " (ID=" << point.ID()
      << ") has ";
    if (point.hasCharge()) log << "charge " << point.charge();
    else                   log << "no charge";
  } // for point
  mf::LogVerbatim("ProxyTest") << "Collection '" << pointsTag.encode()
    << "' contains " << points.size() << " points.";
} // MyAnalyzer::analyze()

In this example, the charged space point proxy accesses the information exclusively via its specific interface. The complete documentation of the interface is split between proxy::ChargedSpacePointsCollectionProxy (treating the collection as a whole) and proxy::SpacePointWithCharge (accessing the individual element of the collection).

Unfortunately, the proxy object (point in the example) can be of a different class depending on which data is merged into it (via optional arguments after the tag argument). This implies than when passing proxies as arguments to functions, template types must be used. For example, the following code is equivalent to the one above, but with methods processing a single point (a point proxy):

template <typename Point>
void MyAnalyzer::processPoint(Point const& point) const {
  mf::LogVerbatim log("ProxyTest");
  log << "\nPoint at " << point.position() << " (ID=" << point.ID()
    << ") has ";
  if (point.hasCharge()) log << "charge " << point.charge();
  else                   log << "no charge";
} // MyAnalyzer::processPoint()
void MyAnalyzer::proxyUsageExample(art::Event const& event) {
  auto points = proxy::getChargedSpacePoints(event, pointsTag);
  if (points.empty()) {
    mf::LogVerbatim("ProxyTest")
      << "No points in '" << pointsTag.encode() << "'";
    return;
  }
  mf::LogVerbatim("ProxyTest") << "Collection '" << pointsTag.encode()
    << "' contains " << points.size() << " points.";
  for (auto point: points) {
    processPoint(point);
  } // for point
} // MyAnalyzer::proxyUsageExample()

A new, filtered collection of proxies can be created with obvious means and with a less-than-friendly declaration:

std::vector<decltype(points)::element_proxy_t> strongPoints;
for (auto point: points) {
  if (point.charge() >= 30.0) strongPoints.push_back(point);
}

The collection thus created (strongPoints) is valid also after the collection proxy (points) has fallen out of scope.

Note: proxy::ChargedSpacePoints is not the type of the collection proxy returned by proxy::getChargedSpacePoints().
