canvas2.C: Example of canvas partitioning

void canvas2()
{
//Example of canvas partitioning
// Sometimes the Divide() method is not appropriate to divide a Canvas.
// Because of the left and right margins, all the pads do not have the
// same width and height. CanvasPartition does that properly. This
// example also ensure that the axis labels and titles have the same
// sizes and that the tick marks length is uniform.
