Hello, I just have a simple question.

Actually, as soon as I want to plot an histogram beung filled in the following way: h1->SetFillColor(45); The histogram X axis gets covered by the filling color and it is not possible to see the ticks anymore. I tried to get it transparent by using various: h1->SetFillStyle(.....); but it didn't change anything... I am using the 3.02/07 version of root on Unix. Thanks a lot Anne-Sylvie
