Re: [ROOT] min and max of Y-axis

Hi,

Actually this is not the maximum value of the histogram I want, but the
maximum value of the Y axis on the pad, which is about h->GetMaximum() + 10%.
Is there something to get this value precisely?

Or: how to put an second X axis exactly on top on the plot?
TGaxis constructor asks for xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax values... I can get the
xmin, xmax values from h->GetXaxis()->GetXmin() and GetXmax(), but I can't
for the ymin,ymax values...
