//
// MSkyPlot
//
// Create a false source plot. For the Binning in x,y the object MBinning
// "BinningFalseSource" is taken from the paremeter list.
//
// The binning in alpha is currently fixed as 18bins from 0 to 90deg.
//
// If MTime, MObservatory and MPointingPos is available in the paremeter
// list each image is derotated.
//
// MSkyPlot fills a 3D histogram with alpha distribution for
// each (derotated) x and y position.
//
// Only a radius of 1.2deg around the camera center is taken into account.
//
// The displayed histogram is the projection of alpha<fAlphaCut into
// the x,y plain and the projection of alpha>90-fAlphaCut
//
// By using the context menu (find it in a small region between the single
// pads) you can change the AlphaCut 'online'
//
// Each Z-Projection (Alpha-histogram) is scaled such, that the number
// of entries fits the maximum number of entries in all Z-Projections.
// This should correct for the different acceptance in the center
// and at the border of the camera. This, however, produces more noise
// at the border.
//
// Here is a slightly simplified version of the algorithm:
// ------------------------------------------------------
//    MHillas hil; // Taken as second argument in MFillH
//
//    MSrcPosCam src;
//    MHillasSrc hsrc;
//    hsrc.SetSrcPos(&src);
//
//    for (int ix=0; ix<nx; ix++)
//        for (int iy=0; iy<ny; iy++)
//        {
//            TVector2 v(cx[ix], cy[iy]); //cx center of x-bin ix
//            if (rho!=0)                 //cy center of y-bin iy
//                v=v.Rotate(rho);         //image rotation angle
//
//            src.SetXY(v);               //source position in the camera
//
//            if (!hsrc.Calc(hil))        //calc source dependant hillas
//                return;
//
//            //fill absolute alpha into histogram
//            const Double_t alpha = hsrc.GetAlpha();
//            fHist.Fill(cx[ix], cy[iy], TMath::Abs(alpha), w);
//        }
//    }
//
// Use MHFalse Source like this:
// -----------------------------
//    MFillH fill("MSkyPlot", "MHillas");
// or
//    MSkyPlot hist;
//    hist.SetAlphaCut(12.5);  // The default value
//    hist.SetBgmean(55);      // The default value
//    MFillH fill(&hist, "MHillas");
//
// To be implemented:
// ------------------
//  - a switch to use alpha or |alpha|
//  - taking the binning for alpha from the parlist (binning is
//    currently fixed)
//  - a possibility to change the fit-function (eg using a different TF1)
//  - a possibility to change the fit algorithm (eg which paremeters
//    are fixed at which time)
//  - use a different varaible than alpha
//  - a possiblity to change the algorithm which is used to calculate
//    alpha (or another parameter) is missing (this could be done using
//    a tasklist somewhere...)
//  - a more clever (and faster) algorithm to fill the histogram, eg by
//    calculating alpha once and fill the two coils around the mean
//  - more drawing options...
//  - Move Significance() to a more 'general' place and implement
//    also different algorithms like (Li/Ma)
//  - implement fit for best alpha distribution -- online (Paint)
//  - currently a constant pointing position is assumed in Fill()
//  - the center of rotation need not to be the camera center
//  - ERRORS on each alpha bin to estimate the chi^2 correctly!
//    (sqrt(N)/binwidth) needed for WOlfgangs proposed caluclation
//    of alpha(Li/Ma)

// This is a preliminary implementation of a alpha-fit procedure for
// all possible source positions. It will be moved into its own
// more powerfull class soon.
//
// The fit function is "gaus(0)+pol2(3)" which is equivalent to:
//   [0]*exp(-0.5*((x-[1])/[2])^2) + [3] + [4]*x + [5]*x^2
// or
//   A*exp(-0.5*((x-mu)/sigma)^2) + a + b*x + c*x^2
//
// Parameter [1] is fixed to 0 while the alpha peak should be
// symmetric around alpha=0.
//
// Parameter [4] is fixed to 0 because the first derivative at
// alpha=0 should be 0, too.
//
// In a first step the background is fitted between bgmin and bgmax,
// while the parameters [0]=0 and [2]=1 are fixed.
//
// In a second step the signal region (alpha<sigmax) is fittet using
// the whole function with parameters [1], [3], [4] and [5] fixed.
//
// The number of excess and background events are calculated as
//   s = int(0, sigint, gaus(0)+pol2(3))
//   b = int(0, sigint,         pol2(3))
//
// The Significance is calculated using the Significance() member
// function.
//

// I might need this
