Thanks Fons & Eddy! I must apologize... I don't know exactly what I did before (that was too many iterations of code ago) to get a nonresponsive graph, but TGraph *does* handle 10^7 points just fine. Thanks, Eddy, for making me try it again! I also still need the info on capturing other events for something else I'm working on. Thanks, Fons! New question: plotting a 1024x1024 2d histogram takes too long with any of the 3d plotting modes, when grid lines are plotted (eg "SURF") they are too close together (everything is black), when lego blocks are plotted they are too small. I define "too long" as more than a couple of seconds... actually it takes about 25 seconds everytime the canvas needs to redraw itself (closer to 45 seconds when doing Gouraud). Is there currently a way to have the TH2 subsample itself when doing a 3d plot and when it is "too large" to be responsive? One more question/comment: I plot two 2d histograms, each in its own canvas, each with its own palette. They display fine initially, but as soon as the canvas containing the first drawn histogram redraws itself, it uses the palette for the second drawn histogram. Is there currently a way to have a TH2 automatically remember the palette with which it was drawn so that when it redraws itself, it always uses that palette (unless it is told explicitly to change palettes)?

I have two questions... a specific one and a general one. Specific: I am trying to write an extension of TGraph, i.e., a derived class (DvatGraph) which (for now) simply overrides the ExecuteEvent function. I have done this, but only Button 1 events seem to be passed to this ExecuteEvent function. I have tried to find where in the ROOT code it is specified that TGraph shall only handle Button 1 events, but I seem to be lost in a maze of twisty passages all looking alike. So... the specific question is, how do I route other button events to TGraph (or at least to my DvatGraph)? General: The reason I want to do this is that I have a time series of 10^7 data points that I want to plot. Actually, I want to initially plot an overview of the data series (sampled or averaged in some way), and then have the user specify a range to zoom in on. I tried just doing this with a TH1 or a TGraph, but they seem to choke when given 10^7 data points (specifically, they take forever to respond... at least I assume it's forever... I have waited for over an hour and nothing happened). So, what I am planning to do is have DvatGraph plot only some small number of points (less than 1000) taken from the time series, with the endpoints and the sampling rate initially set to draw an overview of the entire series. Zooming in, then, would have DvatGraph use different endpoints and sampling rate to select the <1000 points to actually draw. So, the basic difference between my proposed DvatGraph and TGraph is the sampling rate concept... TGraph already handles (via some magic with TAxis) the endpoint stuff. So my general question is: Is there already some way to do this easily in ROOT that I have missed or has anyone already created a ROOT add-on that does this?
