/// \preview Palette coloring for histograms' stack is activated thanks to the options PFC
/// (Palette Fill Color), PLC (Palette Line Color) and AMC (Palette Marker Color).
/// When one of these options is given to `THStack::Draw` the histograms  in the
/// `THStack` get their color from the current color palette defined by
/// `gStyle->SetPalette(...)`. The color is determined according to the number of
/// histograms.
///
/// In this example four histograms are displayed with palette coloring.
/// The color of each histogram is picked inside the palette `kOcean`.
