Detailed Description

Example showing how to produce a plot with an orthogonal axis system centered at (0,0).

void xyplot()
{
   TCanvas *c = new TCanvas("c","XY plot",200,10,700,500);

   // Remove the frame
   c->SetFillColor(kWhite);
   c->SetFrameLineColor(kWhite);
   c->SetFrameBorderMode(0);

   // Define and draw a curve the frame
   const Int_t n = 4;
   Double_t x[n] = {-1, -3, -9, 3};
   Double_t y[n] = {-1000,  900,  300, 300};
   gr = new TGraph(n,x,y);
   gr->SetTitle("XY plot");
   gr->SetMinimum(-1080);
   gr->SetMaximum(1080);
   gr->SetLineColor(kRed);
   gr->Draw("AC*");

   // Remove the frame's axis
   gr->GetHistogram()->GetYaxis()->SetTickLength(0);
   gr->GetHistogram()->GetXaxis()->SetTickLength(0);
   gr->GetHistogram()->GetYaxis()->SetLabelSize(0);
   gr->GetHistogram()->GetXaxis()->SetLabelSize(0);
   gr->GetHistogram()->GetXaxis()->SetAxisColor(0);
   gr->GetHistogram()->GetYaxis()->SetAxisColor(0);

   gPad->Update();

   // Draw orthogonal axis system centered at (0,0).
   // Draw the Y axis. Note the 4th label is erased with SetLabelAttributes
   TGaxis *yaxis = new TGaxis(0, gPad->GetUymin(),

   ytitle->Draw();
   ytitle->SetTextSize(0.03);
   ytitle->SetTextAngle(90.);
   ytitle->SetTextAlign(31);

   // Draw the X axis
