/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// MWriteRootFile
//
// This is a writer to store several containers to a root file.
// The containers are added with AddContainer.
// To understand how it works, see base class MWriteFile
//
// Warning: Look at the Warning in MTaskList.
//
// There is a special mode of operation which opens a new file for each new
// file read by the reading task (opening the new file is initiated by
// ReInit()) For more details see the corresponding constructor.
//
// Memory based trees
// ------------------
// It is possible to store the data into memory (TTrees) instead of
// writing the data into a file. To do this either call the default
// constructor or specify 'memory' as option in the constructor.
//
// Afterwards the tree can be found using
// gROOT->GetListOfFiles()->FindObject("treename")
//
// Currently(!) the tree is not deleted at all! Please make sure to
// delete it if it is not used anymore - otherwise you could wast a LOT
// of memory. Please consider that this behaviour might change in the
// future.
//
// Such trees are usefull if you want to use more basic root-tools
// like TMultiLayerPerceptron or TEventList.
//
// If you want to process such memory based Trees using Mars make sure,
// that you don't need data from the RunHeader tree because you can
// only use MReadTree but not MReadMarsFile with such a tree.
