This tutorial demonstrates how the highlight mechanism can be used on an histogram. 
A 2D histogram is booked an filled with a random gaussian distribution and drawn with the "col" option. Then an highlight method is connected to the histogram. Moving the mouse on the histogram open a new canvas displaying the two X and Y projections at the highlighted bin.
 
 
{
   auto h2 = 
dynamic_cast<TH2F *
>(obj);
 
   if (!h2)
      return;
   if (!h2->IsHighlight()) { 
      h2->SetTitle("Disable highlight");
      return;
   }
 
 
   auto px = h2->ProjectionX(
"_px", 
yhb, 
yhb);
 
   auto py = h2->ProjectionY(
"_py", 
xhb, 
xhb);
 
 
      px->Draw();
      py->Draw();
   }
 
   yhb).Data());
 
}
 
{
   auto c1 = 
new TCanvas(
"Canvas", 
"Canvas", 0, 0, 500, 500);
 
   c1->HighlightConnect(
"Highlight2(TVirtualPad*,TObject*,Int_t,Int_t)");
 
 
   auto TH2F("h2", "", 50, -5.0, 5.0, 50, -5.0, 5.0);
   for (
Int_t i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
 
      Gaus());
   h2->Draw("col");
 
   info = 
new TText(0.0, -4.0, 
"please move the mouse over the frame");
 
 
   h2->SetHighlight();
