Hello, I'm am having trouble accessing fit parameters. I'm fairly new to ROOT and C++ so the answer may be simple. I'm running on Red Hat 7.0 or 7.1 and am using ROOT 3.01. I can fit my histograms to a Gaussian with no problems from the command prompt or with a ROOT macro using the predefined function 'gaus' However, for the application I'm working on now, I need to do it from compiled C++ code. I do get this warning when compiling, but it does compile: "`TF1 *gaus' might be used uninitialized in this function" I don't know what to do to get rid of this. I don't know if it is related to the problem I'll explain below... I am able to Draw the histogram. I am able to fit the histogram to a Gaussian (hadcGCs[k]->Fit("gaus","","",lowGCs[k],highGCs[k])), and the numbers are reasonable: "FCN=301.889 FROM MIGRAD STATUS=CONVERGED 88 CALLS 89 TOTAL EDM=4.31488e-09 STRATEGY= 1 ERROR MATRIX ACCURATE EXT PARAMETER STEP FIRST NO. NAME VALUE ERROR SIZE DERIVATIVE 1 Constant 2.89594e+02 9.22416e+00 5.06654e-02 -1.18601e-05 2 Mean 1.30441e+02 6.90035e-01 5.85323e-03 -5.57058e-05 3 Sigma 3.27019e+01 8.30520e-01 3.43433e-05 -5.39811e-03 " I update the canvas and see a good Gaussian fit, so I know the fit is being done correctly. ...BUT... when I try the following lines, which work fine in my macro, I get a segmentation violation (core dumped) error: "Double_t peakGCs = gaus->GetParameter(1); Double_t sigmaGCs = gaus->GetParameter(2);" I need to use these numbers for further plots and calculations. I searched your archived roottalk correspondence and found a couple somewhat similar problems, but none of the suggested fixes corrected my problem. (e.g. adding the option 'N' in the Fit did not change anything.) I tried using the GetParameters(par) approach from the FittingDemo example in the ROOT manual but it gave a segmentation violation as well. Thanks, Mike
