ROOT is the standard analysis software used for physics analysis (and much more) in mainly particle physics and nuclear physics. This page summarizes some quick to use examples and tips.
To iteratively hadd histograms or trees, which are in multiple paths <source-dir-path1>, <source-dir-path2>, etc.
# Get the file names from one patharray=($(ls<source-dir-path1>/tree-*|xargs-n1basename));# Then go to the target directory and do,foriin${array[@]};dohadd"$i"<source-dir-path1>/"$i"<source-dir-path2>/"$i";done
If you wish to plot three overlayed histograms, after hadding them, in the ROOT console.
