Class Description

  Profile2D histograms are used to display the mean
  value of Z and its RMS for each cell in X,Y.
  Profile2D histograms are in many cases an
  elegant replacement of three-dimensional histograms : the inter-relation of three
  measured quantities X, Y and Z can always be visualized by a three-dimensional
  histogram or scatter-plot; its representation on the line-printer is not particularly
  satisfactory, except for sparse data. If Z is an unknown (but single-valued)
  approximate function of X,Y this function is displayed by a profile2D histogram with
  much better precision than by a scatter-plot.

  The following formulae show the cumulated contents (capital letters) and the values
  displayed by the printing or plotting routines (small letters) of the elements for cell I, J.

                                                        2
      H(I,J)  =  sum Z                  E(I,J)  =  sum Z
      l(I,J)  =  sum l                  L(I,J)  =  sum l
      h(I,J)  =  H(I,J)/L(I,J)          s(I,J)  =  sqrt(E(I,J)/L(I,J)- h(I,J)**2)
      e(I,J)  =  s(I,J)/sqrt(L(I,J))

  In the special case where s(I,J) is zero (eg, case of 1 entry only in one cell)
  e(I,J) is computed from the average of the s(I,J) for all cells.
  This simple/crude approximation was suggested in order to keep the cell
  during a fit operation.

           Example of a profile2D histogram
{
  TCanvas *c1 = new TCanvas("c1","Profile histogram example",200,10,700,500);
  hprof2d  = new TProfile2D("hprof2d","Profile of pz versus px and py",40,-4,4,40,-4,4,0,20);
  Float_t px, py, pz;
  for ( Int_t i=0; i<25000; i++) {
     gRandom->Rannor(px,py);
     pz = px*px + py*py;
     hprof2d->Fill(px,py,pz,1);
  }
  hprof2d->Draw();

TProfile2D() : TH2D()
*-*-*-*-*-*Default constructor for Profile2D histograms*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
*-*        ============================================

~TProfile2D()
*-*-*-*-*-*Default destructor for Profile2D histograms*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
*-*        ===========================================

TProfile2D(const char *name,const char *title,Int_t nx,Axis_t xlow,Axis_t xup,Int_t ny,Axis_t ylow,Axis_t yup,Option_t *option) : TH2D(name,title,nx,xlow,xup,ny,ylow,yup)
*-*-*-*-*-*Normal Constructor for Profile histograms*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
*-*        ==========================================

  The first eight parameters are similar to TH2D::TH2D.
  All values of z are accepted at filling time.
  To fill a profile2D histogram, one must use TProfile2D::Fill function.

  Note that when filling the profile histogram the function Fill
  checks if the variable z is betyween fZmin and fZmax.
  If a minimum or maximum value is set for the Z scale before filling,
  then all values below zmin or above zmax will be discarded.
  Setting the minimum or maximum value for the Z scale before filling
  has the same effect as calling the special TProfile2D constructor below
  where zmin and zmax are specified.

  H(I,J) is printed as the cell contents. The errors computed are s(I,J) if CHOPT='S'
  (spread option), or e(I,J) if CHOPT=' ' (error on mean).

        See TProfile2D::BuildOptions for explanation of parameters

   see other constructors below with all possible combinations of
   fix and variable bin size like in TH2D.

*-*-*-*-*-*Constructor for Profile2D histograms with range in z*-*-*-*-*-*
*-*        ====================================================
  The first eight parameters are similar to TH2D::TH2D.
  Only the values of Z between ZMIN and ZMAX will be considered at filling time.
  zmin and zmax will also be the maximum and minimum values
  on the z scale when drawing the profile2D.

        See TProfile2D::BuildOptions for more explanations on errors


void BuildOptions(Double_t zmin, Double_t zmax, Option_t *option)
*-*-*-*-*-*-*Set Profile2D histogram structure and options*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
*-*          =============================================

    If a cell has N data points all with the same value Z (especially
    possible when dealing with integers), the spread in Z for that cell
    is zero, and the uncertainty assigned is also zero, and the cell is
    ignored in making subsequent fits. If SQRT(Z) was the correct error
    in the case above, then SQRT(Z)/SQRT(N) would be the correct error here.
    In fact, any cell with non-zero number of entries N but with zero spread
    should have an uncertainty SQRT(Z)/SQRT(N).

    Now, is SQRT(Z)/SQRT(N) really the correct uncertainty?
    that it is only in the case where the Z variable is some sort
    of counting statistics, following a Poisson distribution. This should
    probably be set as the default case. However, Z can be any variable
    from an original NTUPLE, not necessarily distributed "Poissonly".
    The computation of errors is based on the parameter option:
    option:
     ' '  (Default) Errors are Spread/SQRT(N) for Spread.ne.0. ,
                      "     "  SQRT(Z)/SQRT(N) for Spread.eq.0,N.gt.0 ,
                      "     "  0.  for N.eq.0
     's'            Errors are Spread  for Spread.ne.0. ,
                      "     "  SQRT(Z)  for Spread.eq.0,N.gt.0 ,
                      "     "  0.  for N.eq.0
     'i'            Errors are Spread/SQRT(N) for Spread.ne.0. ,
                      "     "  1./SQRT(12.*N) for Spread.eq.0,N.gt.0 ,
                      "     "  0.  for N.eq.0

    The third case above corresponds to Integer Z values for which the
    uncertainty is +-0.5, with the assumption that the probability that Z
    takes any value between Z-0.5 and Z+0.5 is uniform (the same argument
    goes for Z uniformly distributed between Z and Z+1); this would be
    useful if Z is an ADC measurement, for example. Other, fancier options
    would be possible, at the cost of adding one more parameter to the PROFILE2D
    For example, if all Z variables are distributed according to some
    known Gaussian of standard deviation Sigma, then:
     'G'            Errors are Spread/SQRT(N) for Spread.ne.0. ,
                      "     "  Sigma/SQRT(N) for Spread.eq.0,N.gt.0 ,
                      "     "  0.  for N.eq.0
    For example, this would be useful when all Z's are experimental quantities
    measured with the same instrument with precision Sigma.

 Computing errors: A moving field
 =================================
 The computation of errors for a TProfile2D has evolved with the versions
 of ROOT. The difficulty is in computing errors for bins with low statistics.
 - prior to version 3.10, we had no special treatment of low statistic bins.
   As a result, these bins had huge errors. The reason is that the
   expression eprim2 is very close to 0 (rounding problems) or 0.
 - The algorithm is modified/protected for the case
   when a TProfile2D is projected (ProjectionX). The previous algorithm
   generated a N^2 problem when projecting a TProfile2D with a large number of
   bins (eg 100000).
 - in version 3.10/02, a new static function TProfile::Approximate
   is introduced to enable or disable (default) the approximation.
   (see also comments in TProfile::GetBinError)
