Re: [ROOT] Superimposing histograms

Dear Rene,

I'll revise my question. I have 4 different files say "file1.root",
"file2.root","file3.root", and "file4.root". Suppose each file contains a
tree "T1". Variables stored in "T1" are Evis, Pt, Pl, etc. I want to
superimpose each of these variables in a histogram for my
background analysis. I need it because i'm formulating a selection
criteria. What i want is for example all the Evis's from each of the 4
files is superimposed in a histogram, and so on. I want to distinguish
each of them by putting a line color.

I hope it is clear now. Thank you for your help.



Dennis
