4/// Example illustrating how to draw the n-sigma contour of a Minuit fit.
5/// To get the n-sigma contour the ERRDEF parameter in Minuit has to set
6/// to n^2. The fcn function has to be set before the routine is called.
7///
8/// WARNING!!! This test works only with TMinuit
9///
10/// The TGraph object is created via the interpreter. The user must cast it
11/// to a TGraph*
