Hi all, I'm trying to set the maximum y range of two histograms to one, namely the one taken from the histo with the maximum y-range. So I do something simple like the following in a root session, but I'm not getting the "desired" result with no error messages. root [10] f1= new TFile("xxx.root"); root [11] TTree *tree1 = (TTree*) f1.Get("tree"); root [12] tree1.ls(); root [13] tree1.Print(); ... root [20] f2 = new TFile("yyy.root"); root [23] TTree *tree2 = (TTree*) f2.Get("tree"); root [24] tree2.ls(); root [25] tree2.Print(); ... root [30] TH1F Beam_Energy1("Beam_Energy1","beam energy (GeV)", 100,1,6); root [31] tree1->Draw("beam.E() >> Beam_Energy1"); root [32] Int_t MinE1=0, MaxE1=0; root [33] MaxE1 = int(0.01 *Beam_Energy1->GetMaximum() + Beam_Energy1->GetMaximum()); root [34] MaxE1 (int)29920 So far, so good... But when I do the following: root [35] Beam_Energy1->GetYaxis()->SetRange(MinE1,MaxE1); root [36] tree1->Draw("beam.E() >> Beam_Energy1"); root [37] TH1F Beam_Energy2("Beam_Energy2","beam energy (GeV)",100,1,6); root [38] Beam_Energy2->GetYaxis()->SetRange(MinE1,MaxE1); root [39] tree2->Draw("beam.E() >> Beam_Energy2"); But I don't see the maximum y-range of either of the histos set at 29920 as I wanted. Don't know what I've done "worng", any ideas? I actually resorted to drawing two histos on the same y-scale on two different pads since I was unable to get the two "drawn" on the same pad. I kept getting the error message "unkonwn name same" when I tried: tree1->Draw("beam.E() >> Beam_Energy1"); tree2->Draw("beam.E() >> Beam_Energy2", "same"); Drawing two or more histos/functions has worked for me before. I'm guessing the reason it didn't work this time is that I have beam defined as a pointer to a "TLorentzVector" type. In principle, it should still work! Thanks in advance for any help or ideas...
