Detailed Description

Create small triangles at random positions on the canvas.

Assign a unique ID to each triangle, and give each one a random color from the color palette.

root > .x triangles.C

When a triangle is clicked, a message displaying its unique number and color will be printed.

 
void triangles(int ntriangles = 50)
{
   auto c1 = new TCanvas("c1", "triangles", 10, 10, 700, 700);
   gStyle->SetPalette(kCMYK);
   TRandom r;
   double dx = 0.2;
   double dy = 0.2;
   int ncolors = TColor::GetNumberOfColors();
   double x[4], y[4];
   for (int i = 0; i < ntriangles; i++) {
      x[0] = r.Uniform(.05, .95);
      y[0] = r.Uniform(.05, .95);
      x[1] = x[0] + dx * r.Rndm();
      y[1] = y[0] + dy * r.Rndm();
      x[2] = x[1] - dx * r.Rndm();
      y[2] = y[1] - dy * r.Rndm();
      x[3] = x[0];
      y[3] = y[0];
      auto pl = new TPolyLine(4, x, y);
      pl->SetUniqueID(i);
      int ci = ncolors * r.Rndm();
      TColor *c = gROOT->GetColor(TColor::GetColorPalette(ci));
      c->SetAlpha(r.Rndm());
      pl->SetFillColor(c->GetNumber());
      pl->Draw("f");
   }
   c1->AddExec("ex", "TriangleClicked()");

   // this action function is called whenever you move the mouse
   // it just prints the id of the picked triangle
   // you can add graphics actions instead
