/// Palette coloring for graphs 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 `TGraph::Draw` the `TGraph` get its color
/// from the current color palette defined by `gStyle->SetPalette(…)`. The color
/// is determined according to the number of objects having palette coloring in
/// the current pad.
///
/// In this example five graphs are displayed with palette coloring for lines and
/// and filled area. The graphs are drawn with curves (`C` option) and one can see
/// the color of each graph is picked inside the palette `kSolar`. The
/// same is visible on filled polygons in the automatically built legend.
