hi, I am interested in dumping the contents of the statistics box of a histogram to a file. The application is for when one has a large number of root files and is interested in only a summary of histogram information for each one. I tried several things at the question mark, but was unsuccessful. The problem has something to do with the fact that the pad is divided. --------------------------- void format_getStat() { gROOT->Reset(); TFile f("data.root"); f->cd(); // plot histogram in pad myc = new TCanvas("myc","All purpose canvas"); pad1 = new TPad("pad1","This is pad1",0.02,0.02,0.98,0.9,33); pad1->Divide(2,3); pad1->cd(1); myntuple->Draw("mass_jets", "numJets==3"); // print out statistics for histogram TPaveText *stats = (TPaveText*)gPad->GetPrimitive("stats"); // where to go from here ? // stats->Print(); >> test1 // works for divided canvas or undivided pad, // but not for divided pad ? ... } -------------------------- Thanks, Ben
