DRAssociation()

def python.DRAssociation.DRAssociation	(		parent,
			type_name,
			default_sgkey,
			default_drcut,
			prefix = '',

Helper for setting up a nearest-DR association to a contained object.

We get an source object and a collection of target objects.
We pick the target object that's closest in DR to the source object.
By default, the target collection is a DataVector from StoreGate.

parent: The parent D3PDobject or block.
type_name: The C++ type of the target object collection.
default_sgkey: Default StoreGate key for the target collection.
default_drcut: Default DR cut.  If no target objects are within
               this DR, the association will fail.
prefix: Prefix to add to the contained variables, if any.
matched: If not null, a flag variable with this name will
         be created, set to true when the association succeeds.
level: Level of detail for the block.
blockname: Name for the block.

Extra arguments are passed to the association tool.

Here's an example.  Suppose we have an electron object, and we
want to record the 4-vector of a matching jet.

Usage is something like this:

   ElectronObject = ...

   EleJetAssoc = DRAssociation (ElectronObject,
                               'JetCollection',
                               'Cone4H1TowerJets',
                               0.2,
                               'jet_',
                               level = 2,
                               blockname = 'JetMatch')
   EleJetAssoc.defineBlock (2, 'JetKinematics',
                            D3PD.FourMomFillerTool)

The DRAssociation call makes the association.  We'll look in SG
for a JetCollection called `Cone4H1TowerJets' and find the jet from
there that's closest in DR to the electron (but not farther away
than 0.2).  If the electron prefix is `el_', then we'll automatically
create the variables `el_jet_matched' and `el_jet_dr'.  The second
call then adds the jet kinematic variables: `el_jet_pt', etc.
Additional blocks can be added if desired.
