I am trying to make a copy of (two) TGraphErrors using the code below: ==== void regx(..., TGraphErrors *mean1, TGraphErrors *sigma1, char *name1, char *name2) <snip> TGraphErrors* grmean = new TGraphErrors(nhitbins,x,y,ex,ey); TGraphErrors* grsigma = new TGraphErrors(nhitbins,x,sigmay,ex,errey); //copy graphs to passed variables mean1 = grmean->Clone(); <-------Line # 268 mean1->SetName(name1); sigma1 = grsigma->Clone(); sigma1->SetName(name2); </snip> ==== The error I get when running the function is: Error: Incorrect assignment to mean1, wrong type 'TObject*' FILE:/home/skwang/CAPR/CAPR.C LINE:268 (class TObject*)0x890a910 Is there another/better/correct way of copying a TGraphErrors? This function basically creates two graphs (grmean and grsigma), but I want to "return" them to the main program by way of mean1 and sigma1, since I need to use this function 5 times. mean1 and sigma1 are declared in the main program as TGraphErrors. Thanks in advance, Shawn Kwang -- skwang@wam.umd.edu skwang@glue.umd.edu
