Hello Justin After you call tree->Draw(...) the histogram with name "htemp" is created in memory, and in order to access it you have go and find it: >for ( UInt_t i = 0, i < N; i ++ ) >{ > tree->Draw( "a : b", cut1 + cut2 ); > > if ( 0 < tree->GetSelectedRows() ) > { > TH2F *htemp = (TH2F*)gROOT->FindObject("htemp"); > htemp->Fit( "pol1", "q", "", 0.0, range ); > } >} > > > At the CINT command line you don't need to do this, as the wily interpreter does it for you automatically, transforming the name "htemp" that you type into a pointer called htemp, which is great as long as you know what's going on, otherwise very confusing. Note that if your TTree::Draw(...) creates a 1-D histogram, htemp is a TH1F, 2-D histogram is a TH2F etc. etc. If you need to cover all possibilities with the same statement, you could declare htemp as a TH1* and then cast it.
