Detailed Description

Abstract base class for FWLite and EDM friendly analyzers.

Abstract base class for FWLite and EDM friendly analyzers. This class provides a proper interface needed for the EDFilterWrapper and FWLiteFilterWrapper template classes. Classes of type BasicFilter can be wrapped into an EDFilter as shown in the example below:

include "PhysicsTools/PatExamples/interface/BasicMuonFilter.h" include "PhysicsTools/UtilAlgos/interface/EDFilterWrapper.h"

typedef edm::FilterWrapper<BasicMuonFilter> WrappedEDFilter;

include "FWCore/Framework/interface/MakerMacros.h" DEFINE_FWK_MODULE(WrappedEDFilter);

Alternatively they can be wrapped into a FWLiteFilter which provides basic functionality of reading configuration files and event looping as shown in the example below:

include "PhysicsTools/PatExamples/interface/BasicMuonFilter.h" include "PhysicsTools/UtilAlgos/interface/FWLiteFilterWrapper.h"

typedef fwlite::FilterWrapper<BasicMuonFilter> WrappedFWLiteFilter; ...

In both examples BasicMuonFilter is derived from the BasicFilter class. For more information have a look into the class description of the corresponding wrapper classes.
