Re: summation of histograms

Hi Rene,
Thank you for the reply. But still there is a problem in drawing the histogram
if we have
TH1F h4= n1*(*h1)+n2*(*h2)+n3*(h3)...
where n1 ,n2 and n3 are the normalization factors how can I draw the results (h4 is not a pointer).

I aslo thought if I multiply the first histogram : histo->Multiply(h1,n1);
and then add it to others

histo->Add(h2,h3,n2,n3);
I am not sure about how to use multiplication and adding function in this case.

Histo needs to be difined as an TH1F. how can I possibly do that

Many Thanks,
Nasim
