Re: histo stat when saved from a TTree

Jean-eric,

I think that you should try to make a liitle effort to read the documentation about TTree::Draw and in particular the points with the selection variable (smunu in your example)

The result of the selection expression is used as a weight when filling the histogram. The histogram is not filled if the result of the expression is null.
If you simply want to see the entries, eg for which smunu>0, you should call

   tree.draw("var","smunu>0")
In this case the weight is either 0 or 1. As explained in teh doc, you can have variants of the above, eg

   tree.draw("var","smunu*(var2<0 && var3>0") In this case the resulting weight will be

    smunu if the expression var2<0 && var3> 0 is true     0 otherwise (and the entry is not histogramed).

When filling histograms with weights, you must understand that this affects the mean value and the rms.
