   TPaveText *pt = new TPaveText(.05,.1,.95,.8);

   pt->AddText("A TPaveText can contain severals line of text.");
   pt->AddText("They are added to the pave using the AddText method.");
   pt->AddLine(.0,.5,1.,.5);
   pt->AddText("Even complex TLatex formulas can be added:");
   TText *t1 = pt->AddText("F(t) = #sum_{i=-#infty}^{#infty}A(i)cos#[]{#frac{i}{t+i}}");

   t1->SetTextColor(kBlue);

   pt->Draw();

   TText *t2 = pt->GetLineWith("Even");
   t2->SetTextColor(kOrange+1);
