RE: Non-interpreted TLatex in axis titles

You should do:

gStyle->SetTitleFont(60,"xy");

Subject: [ROOT] Non-interpreted TLatex in axis titles

Hi roottalk,
I'm trying to draw an axis title with low font precision so that the latex
isn't interpreted, like this:

root [0] gStyle->SetTitleFont(60)
root [1] TH1F* h=new TH1F("foo", "bar;#int;#int", 10, 0, 1)
root [2] h->Draw()

This puts "#int" on the axes (which is what I want), but the one on the y axis
isn't rotated, as usual. I guess this is because TLatex::PaintLatex has:

if (fTextFont%10 < 2) {

      gPad->PaintText(x,y,text1);
      return;

which doesn't pass the angle, so it's drawn unrotated. But if I create a

TLatex manually and set its font and angle, it *is* rotated:

root [0] TLatex la;
root [1] la.SetTextFont(60)
root [2] la.SetTextAngle(90)
root [3] la.DrawLatex(0.5, 0.5, "#int")

so I'm a little confused as to what's going on.

Anyway, my question is: Is there a way I can get this behaviour (latex not
interpreted, text rotated) for the y axis title?
