Re: problem with y-scale (a bug?)

Thanks. This works, but one problem is that if I decide to change the y-scale then any other things I changed in the graph (for example an arrow that I added) are deleted/reset.
I added // *MENU* after the declaration of the function SetLimits in hist/inc/TAxis.h and recompiled the source. Now SetLimits shows up in the pop-up menu for the y-axis. Using this I can change the y-scale as I want. But perhaps there are reasons not to do this. Is this bad practice?

Hajo.
