Usage:

      from GaudiPython.GaudiAlgs import HistoAlgo, SUCCESS

      class MyClass(HistoAlgo) :
           ' My specific Algorithm, derived from GaudiAlgo base class '
           def __init__( self , name , **args ) :
                'Constructor from algorithm instance name & parameters'
                 #invoke the constructor of base class
                 HistoAlgo.__init__(self , name , **args )

           def execute ( self ) :
                'Major method (from IAlgorithm interface)'

               # get some data from Transient Event Store
               tracks = self.get('/Event/Rec/Tracks')

               self.plot1D ( tracks->size() , '#tracks' , 0 , 100 )

               return SUCCESS

Alternatively the histogram could be booked in advance:

      class MyClass(HistoAlgo) :
           ' My specific Algorithm, derived from GaudiAlgo base class '
           def __init__( self , name ) :
                'Constructor from algorithm instance name'
                 #invoke the constructor of base class
                 HistoAlgo.__init__(self , name )

           def initialize ( self ) :
               'Algorithm initialization'
               # initialize the base class
               status = HistoAlgo.initialize( self )
               if status.isFailure() : return status

               # book the histogram
               self.h1 = selff.book1D ( '#tracks' , 0 , 100 )

               return SUCCESS

           def execute ( self ) :
                'Major method (from IAlgorithm interface)'

               # get some data from Transient Event Store
               tracks = self.get('/Event/Rec/Tracks')

               # fill the histogram
               self.h1.fill ( tracks->size() )

                return SUCCESS
