Hi Yannick, If you use version 3.00/02 available since yesterday, you can specify a font size in pixels. See short example below. The font must be precision=3 (eg 53) see: http://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/TAttText.html { TCanvas *c1 = new TCanvas("c1","c1",600,800); c1->Divide(1,3); TFile *f = new TFile("hsimple.root"); //file produced in tutorials TText t; t.SetTextColor(4); t.SetTextFont(53); //with precision 3, text size is specified in pixels t.SetTextSize(20); t.SetTextAlign(22); t.SetNDC(); c1->cd(1); hpx->Draw(); t.DrawText(0,500,"First Text"); c1->cd(2); hprof->Draw(); t.DrawText(0,10,"Second Text"); c1->cd(3); hpxpy->Draw(); t.DrawText(0,2,"Third Text"); c1->cd(0); } Rene Brun Patois Yannick wrote: > > Hi rooters, > > I use a custom routine to create pads in one raw, with only one > scale at the bottom, like: > > .---------. > | Pad 3 | > | | > --------- > | Pad 2 | > | | > --------- > | Pad 1 | > | | > |,-,-,-,-,| <- Scale > `---------' > > I found out that the Pad labeled Pad1 couldnt be the same size as the 2 > other because it had to allow space for the axis label and title, so if > I want an identic frame size, pads cant be the same. > So I dont use TPad::Divide, but I create my pad one by one. > > I works. > > But a problem arise when I try to write some text into each pad : > > The text in Pad1 is *bigger* than the one in the others, simply because > it get automatically scaled relatively to the pad size. > > I dont really know what I can do, either I'm wrong and pads could be > made the same size somehow, or maybe there is a simple way to 'rescale' > things I wrote in a pad independantly of the pad's size. > > For now, I just set the size of the writing a little bit differently for > the first pad, maybe there is a very simple way to deduce the scaling > factor according to the pad size and correct it ? > > Could anyone help me ? > > Yannick
