5/// Plot a PDF in disjunct ranges, and get normalisation right.
6///
7/// Usually, when comparing a fit to data, one should first plot the data, and then the PDF.
8/// In this case, the PDF is automatically normalised to match the number of data events in the plot.
9/// However, when plotting only a sub-range, when e.g. a signal region has to be blinded,
10/// one has to exclude the blinded region from the computation of the normalisation.
11///
12/// In this tutorial, we show how to explicitly choose the normalisation when plotting using `NormRange()`.
13///
14/// Thanks to Marc Escalier for asking how to do this correctly.
