Detailed Description
Abstract base class for trace objects of kinematic fits.
A Tracer object is called during the fitting process by the fit engine, to store information on how the fit proceeded. This is useful for debugging purposes, because
- it provides uniform debugging output across different fitters,
- it frees the fitter code from too much debug code,
- and it decouples the fit engine classes from other software such as Root, which may be used by the tracer.
