-The ROOT system provides a set of OO frameworks with all the functionality
-needed to handle and analyse large amounts of data in a very efficient way.
-Having the data defined as a set of objects, specialised storage methods are
-used to get direct access to the separate attributes of the selected objects,
-without having to touch the bulk of the data. Included are histograming methods
-in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions, curve fitting, function evaluation, minimisation,
-graphics and visualization classes to allow the easy setup of an analysis
-system that can query and process the data interactively or in batch mode.

-Thanks to the builtin CINT C++ interpreter the command language, the scripting,
-or macro, language and the programming language are all C++. The interpreter
-allows for fast prototyping of the macros since it removes the time consuming
-compile/link cycle. It also provides a good environment to learn C++. If more
-performance is needed the interactively developed macros can be compiled using
-a C++ compiler.
