Re: Gamma function

Hi,
I'm getting the same while trying to plot incomplete gamma - just the straight line (ROOT v 5.08/00).

And, I see another problem with the confluent hypergeometric function:

1. ROOT calculates it's OK (I have LibmathMore loaded):

   ---

   root [8] ROOT::Math::conf_hyperg(1,2,3) (double)6.36184564106255568e+00

   ---

But, when I try to define the function I want to plot, that's the error message:

---

---

root [7] TF1 *f3 = new TF1("f3","ROOT::TMath::conf_hyperg(1,2,x)",0,10); Error in <TFormula::Compile>: Bad numerical expression : "ROOT::TMath::conf_hyperg(1,2,x)"
Error in <TF1::TF1>: function: f3/ROOT::TMath::conf_hyperg(1,2,x) has 0 parameters instead of 1

---

---

i.e. in distinct the with incomplete gamma function, I can not even define the confluent hypergeometric function.

Need to use gsl functionality (special functions) included in ROOT.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

George

PS. It would help greatly if syntax gets unified. E.g I can calculate incomplete gamma using both
root [0] TMath::Gamma(1,2)
and
root [1] ROOT::TMath::Gamma(1,2)

but only
ROOT::Math::conf_hyperg(1,2,3)

works for calculating the value of confluent hypergeometric.
