The RooFit tools are integrated with the object-oriented and interactive ROOT graphical environment. RooFit has been developed for the BaBar collaboration, a high energy physics experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, and is primarily targeted to the high-energy physicists using the ROOT analysis environment, but the general nature of the package make it suitable for adoption in different disciplines as well.
