Re: [ROOT] Problem of data alignment in a 2D histogram

Hi Reinhardt,

When a 2-d histogram is drawn, a number of markers proportional
to the cell content is drawn at random in the cell area.
Why do you use a 2-d histogram if your problem is simply
to draw a graph of points y(i) vs x(i). Use a TGraph instead
or a TH1
