Re: [ROOT] histogram fillstyle in ps file

 Hi,

 I guess once you have "printed" the histogram in a PS file you then
visualise it with gv or gs. It is a well know problem that some old
versions of gv/gs are not able to visualise patterns. I have just tried
your example and visualise the result with:

  pcitasd29> gs -v
  Aladdin Ghostscript 5.50 (1998-9-16)

and for me it works. By the way, if you print your file on paper it should
be fine.

 Cheers,         Olivier
