Detailed Description

Example of canvas partitioning.

Sometimes the Divide() method is not appropriate to divide a Canvas. Because of the left and right margins, all the pads do not have the same width and height. CanvasPartition does that properly. This example also ensure that the axis labels and titles have the same sizes and that the tick marks length is uniform.

void CanvasPartition(TCanvas *C,const Int_t Nx = 2,const Int_t Ny = 2,
                     Float_t lMargin = 0.15, Float_t rMargin = 0.05,
                     Float_t bMargin = 0.15, Float_t tMargin = 0.05);
