Re: removing title

Hi,

Easiest is to do a gStyle->SetOptTitle(0); BEFORE you plot your
histograms.

Please note that a TTree::Draw("x:y") creates a plot where the real (x,y)
pairs are depicted. Doing a TTree::Draw("x:y>>h2") produces a
2-dimensional histogram, binned in a certain default way. When the
histgram is drawn, random points are created to reflect the number of
entries in each bin, this is probably what causes your 'clustering'.

One more thing, if gPad->Update doesn't work, you might have to do a
gPad->Modified() first... (I have also tried to figure out why, but
haven't found a definite answer...)

Regards,

Marco
