Hi Catalin,
This function from Hbook originally written by Roger Barlow and
Christine Beeston is not implemented in Root.
I know that this function was extremely useful.
Looking through the code, it would not be a big work to convert
these few subroutines into a class (one day work).
Any volunteer to to the work ?
