The Event Analyzer Page of the Program Page Wizard

This page is shown below:

The first line prompts you for the histograms you wish to generate.  These must be legal java identifiers separated with spaces.  The wizard will notify you of an illegal identifier.

Next, you must decide how you want to access the data.  (If you don't have a data set open, this option will not be available.)  The choice here is largely a matter of programming style.  Click on 'Show preview of selected option' to see how each style would look for your specifications.  Brief descriptions of the options follow.

• The first choice will set up private member variables for the field(s) you wish to use.  These will be set at each event to the value for that event.
• The second choice will set up a private internal class that has methods you can use to access data.
• The third choice provides no shortcuts; you must access each variable manually.

When you click on 'Finish', the wizard will offer to save the file.  It is a good idea to save it now because you cannot compile it until it is saved, and Java language rules require that the file name be the same as the class name if the class is public, and the class must be public in order to be readable from the application.
