LIGOtools Package: eventtool
This package consists of a shared-object library which is
automatically loaded when you start up the LIGOtools version of ROOT
(by typing ltroot).
It includes software to read LIGO event data from LIGO_LW files, to
manipulate them (e.g. to search for coincidences between different
types of events) and to display the results in the form of histograms
of various types.

Distribution files
Normally, you should use the ligotools_update utility to
download and install new packages or new versions of existing
packages, since it automatically figures out what packages need to be
updated. However, if you wish to do so manually, then click on the
name of the appropriate distribution file (below) with the
right mouse button and choose "Save Link As..." from
the popup menu. Note that you must save it on your disk with exactly
the same name as it has on this web site. After the file has been
downloaded, do:
ligotools_install <file>
where <file> is the file which was downloaded. This
procedure will be quicker if the environment variable
LIGOTOOLS is set to the main LIGOtools directory.
