Detailed Description

Fill a 1D histogram with random values using predefined functions

import ROOT
 
# Create a one dimensional histogram and fill it with a gaussian distribution
h1d = ROOT.TH1D("h1d", "Test random numbers", nbinsx = 200, xlow = 0.0, xup = 10.0)
 
# "gaus" is a predefined ROOT function. Here we are filling the histogram with
# 10000 values sampled from that distribution.
h1d.FillRandom("gaus", 10000)
 
# Open a ROOT file and save the histogram
