Re: TH2F stats Access

The looping to do this should be extremely simple (3 C++ lines), but you don't need to do this
for the goal that you want to achieve.
You should simply use the automatic binning facility of the histogramming package.Instead of

root [1] TH2F* h2Test = new TH2F("h2Test", "test of yMax", 10, 0, 10, -5, 20);

do

root [1] TH2F* h2Test = new TH2F("h2Test", "test of yMax", 10, 0, 0, 10,0,0);
