NAME

       compare-histos - generate comparison histograms

SYNOPSIS

       compare-histos  [options]  aidafile1[:'PlotOption1=Value':'PlotOption2=Value']  [aidafile2
       ...]

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       -R, --rivet-refs
              use Rivet reference data files (default)

       --no-rivet-refs
              don't use Rivet reference data files

       -o OUTDIR, --outdir=OUTDIR
              write data files into this directory

       --hier-out
              write output dat files into a directory hierarchy which matches the analysis paths

       --plotinfodir=PLOTINFODIR
              directory which may contain plot header information (in addition to standard  Rivet
              search paths)

       --no-rmgapbins
              disable  attempting  to  remove 'gap' bins from MC histos when they don't appear in
              the ref file

       --refid=REF_ID
              ID of reference data set (file path for non-REF data)

       --linear
              plot with linear scale

       --logarithmic
              plot with logarithmic scale (default behaviour)

       --mc-errs
              show vertical error bars on the MC lines

       --no-ratio
              disable the ratio plot

       --rel-ratio
              show the ratio plots scaled to the ref error

       --abs-ratio
              show the ratio plots with an absolute scale

       --no-plottitle
              don't show the plot title on the plot (useful when the plot description should only
              be given in a caption)

       --style=STYLE
              change plotting style: default|bw|talk

       -c CONFIGFILES, --config=CONFIGFILES
              additional   plot   config  file(s).  Settings  will  be  included  in  the  output
              configuration.

       --show-single=SHOW_SINGLE
              control if a plot file is  made  if  there  is  only  one  dataset  to  be  plotted
              [default=mc].  If the value is 'no', single plots are always skipped, for 'ref' and
              'mc', the plot will be written only if the single plot is a reference plot or an MC
              plot  respectively,  and 'all' will always create single plot files.  The 'ref' and
              'all' values should be used with great care, as they will also write out plot files
              for  all reference histograms without MC traces: combined with the -R /--rivet-refs
              flag, this is a great way to write out several thousand irrelevant  reference  data
              histograms!

       --show-mc-only, --all
              make  a  plot  file even if there is only one dataset to be plotted and it is an MC
              one. Deprecated and will be removed: use  --show-single  instead,  which  overrides
              this.

       -m PATHPATTERNS, --match=PATHPATTERNS
              Only  write  out  histograms  whose  $path/$name  string matches these regexes. The
              argument may also be a text file.

       -M PATHUNPATTERNS, --unmatch=PATHUNPATTERNS
              Exclude histograms whose $path/$name string matches these regexes

       -q, --quiet
              Suppress normal messages

       -v, --verbose
              Add extra debug messages

       The plot options are described in the make-plots manual in the HISTOGRAM section.
