hist003_TH1_draw.C File Reference

Detailed Description

Draw a 1D histogram to a canvas.

Note

When using graphics inside a ROOT macro the objects must be created with new.

 
void hist003_TH1_draw()
{
   // Create and fill the histogram.
   // See hist002_TH1_fillrandom_userfunc.C for more information about this section.

   // The TPad's constructor accepts the relative coordinates (0 to 1) of the pad's boundaries
   auto *pad1 = new TPad("pad1", "The pad with the function", 0.05, 0.50, 0.95, 0.95);

   sqroot->Draw();
   // Add a label to the function.
   // TPaveLabel's constructor accepts the pixel coordinates and the label string.
   auto *lfunction = new TPaveLabel(5, 39, 9.8, 46, "The sqroot function");
