I initially thought that this macro would serve only as an exercise for my own benefit, but it turns out that my colleague John Bartolotta was able to use the simplegraph.C macro for his own work on the active collimator. The Labview program he is using apparently outputs .txt files, so this macro is well suited to his purposes. Since he was completely new to ROOT and programming at a later point in the semester, I spent some time working with him to help him get started on plots and fitting, which help give me a better grasp of ROOT as well.
Being able to construct and analyze histograms is more important for my own purposes, however. The analyzer is already equipped to construct histograms, but the data-files that I have been applying it to thus far are not suitable, as they contain no events. I was able to create some histograms using data from past lab classes, so once I resolve this particular issue, I should be able to get useful histograms from our DAQ station.
