34<h2> Introduction  </h2>

38RPLOT is a MAD-X plug-in that privides additional functionality using
39<a href="http://root.cern.ch"> ROOT </a>.
40It contains several tools
41
42<dl>
43<dt><b> RVIEWER </b></dt> 
44  <dd>
45  <i> plotting tool that handles the results in paramremtric form </i>
46  <p> 
47    What makes it different
48    from the standard PLOT module of MAD-X is that it is also able to
49    deal with the parmateric results. RPLOT proviedes graphical user interface
50    that allows to choose which functions shall be drawn, set its ranges
51    and adjust all the details of the plot formatting. Of course, the result
52    is immendiately visible on the screen, in contrary to the standard plot tool
53    that is able to work solely in the batch mode. The user can choose several
54    formats to save his plot, including postscript, gif, pdf, root macro and many
55    others.
56
57    <p>RVIEWER is able to draw the lattice functions
58    <ol>
59     <li> along the layout </li>
60     <li> at given position in function of one or two knobs  </li>
61    </ol>
62    It provides a convienient way to set the knob values. As the value is set,
63    the plotted functions are immediately drawn for the new value.
64   
65    <p>
66    In order to run RVIEWER simpy issue "rviewer;" command
67   
68  </dd>
69
70
71<dt><b> RTRACKSTORE </b></dt> 
72  <dd>
73  <i> enables storage of the tracking data in ROOT NTuple/Tree format </i>
74  <p> 
75      Ntuple and its modern extension called Tree are formats designed
76      for storing particle tracking data. It is proven to provide
77      the fastest data writing and reading thanks to column wise
78      I/O operations. It is commonly used for data storage by HEP
79      experiments. Additionally, ROOT provides automatical
80      ZIP data compression that is transparent for the user algorithms. 
81      Morover, ROOT provides wide set of very comfortable tools
82      for advanced analysis and plotting of the data stored in Trees.
83  <p>   
84      Addtionally, we plan to extend RVIEWER functionality that would provide
85      intuitive graphical user interface to most commonly used
86      features in particle tracking in accelerators. Thanks to that,
87      the user is not forced to learn how to use the ROOT package.
88  <p> 
89      Currently the feature is enabled only for tracking using
90      the ptc_trackline command, however, it will be extended to
91      other tracking modes.
