RE: Tutorial Problem

Hi Chris,  

As I already replied in your previous (same) question in [ROOTDEV]: The file fit1_C.C is in $ROOTSYS/tutorials/fit (the same directory than fit1.C)  

Cheers,
Bertrand.

Subject: [ROOT] Tutorial Problem

I am going through some of the tutorials on the ROOT home page. I have been looking at the simple example of fitting a 1-D histogram (see http://root.cern.ch/root/html/examples/fit1.C.html).

In the last few lines of the tutorial, we create a Pave Text called 'fitlabel', and fill it with information from the fitting. It reads the information in:

fitlabel->ReadFile("fit1_C.C");

However while running this macro, we encounter errors when hitting this line, which read:

Error in <TPaveText::ReadFile>: illegal file name

It seems like we have not created thie file "fit1_C.C" for the fitting data to be written to. How do we do this?

Thanks,
Chris
