hist056_TPolyMarker_contour.C File Reference

Detailed Description

Make a contour plot and get the first contour in a TPolyMarker.

This macro generates a color contour plot by selecting entries from an ntuple file. The TGraph object corresponding to the first contour line is accessed and displayed into a separate canvas.
