Default python Notebooks with Root

The following page describes how to setup root with jupyter notebooks such that the default type of a cell is python. This is what we did above. The description is a bit outdated and repeats what we habe descripted in P1.0 but it referes to another setup with jupterlab-desktop which is no longer maintained.

import ROOT

%%cpp
cout <<"sdfsdfsd";

sdfsdfsd

# Using C++ in Jupyterlab https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/14752 install root from root cern. https://root.cern/install/all_releases/ In the following I assume that root installs into: C:\root_v6.30.04 you might have to replace it accordingly. add the folder C:\root_v6.30.04\bin to your system path variable: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/sharepoint-2010/ee537574(v=office.14) get cpp interpreter path inside python with: ```cxx cout <<"hello" ``` first edit C:\root_v6.30.04\etc\notebook\kernels\root\kernel.json replace the version according to your installation! ```json { "language": "python", "display_name": "ROOT python", "argv": [ "C:\\Users\\admin\\AppData\\Roaming\\jupyterlab-desktop\\jlab_server\\python.exe", "-m", "ipykernel_launcher", "-f", "{connection_file}" ], "env": { "PYTHONPATH": "c:\\root_v6.30.04\\bin" } } ``` open in jupyterlab the folder pane and select the + button and open a terminal there type: ``` jupyter kernelspec install C:\root_v6.30.04\etc\notebook\kernels\root\ pip install metakernel ``` if you want to use the webbrowser then do: ``` pip install notebook root --notebook ``` try commands from https://root.cern.ch/notebooks/HowTos/HowTo_ROOT-Notebooks.html but I set default to c++, so you need to use %%python when you do python code.``

import numpy
import ROOT

%jsroot on

h = ROOT.TH1F("gauss","Example histogram",100,-4,4)
h.FillRandom("gaus")

c = ROOT.TCanvas("myCanvasName","The Canvas Title",800,600)
h.Draw()

c.Draw()

%%cpp
    gauss->Fit("gaus", "S");
    myCanvasName->Draw();
