class THStack: public TNamed


   A THStack is a collection of TH1 (or derived) objects
   Use THStack::Add to add a new histogram to the list.
   The THStack does not own the objects in the list.
   By default (if option "nostack" is not specified), histograms will be paint
   stacked on top of each other.
   Example;
      THStack hs("hs","test stacked histograms");
      TH1F *h1 = new TH1F("h1","test hstack",100,-4,4);
      h1->FillRandom("gaus",20000);
      h1->SetFillColor(kRed);
      hs.Add(h1);
      TH1F *h2 = new TH1F("h2","test hstack",100,-4,4);
      h2->FillRandom("gaus",15000);
      h2->SetFillColor(kBlue);
      hs.Add(h2);
      TH1F *h3 = new TH1F("h3","test hstack",100,-4,4);
      h3->FillRandom("gaus",10000);
      h3->SetFillColor(kGreen);
      hs.Add(h3);
      TCanvas c1("c1","stacked hists",10,10,700,900);
      c1.Divide(1,2);
      c1.cd(1);
      hs.Draw();
      c1.cd(2);
      hs->Draw("nostack");

  See a more complex example in $ROOTSYS/tutorials/hist/hstack.C

  Note that picking is supported for all drawing modes.

Function documentation

THStack(const THStack& hstack)
 THStack default constructor
THStack(const char* name, const char* title)
 constructor with name and title
THStack(const TH1* hist, Option_t* axis = "x", const char* name = 0, const char* title = 0, Int_t firstbin = 1, Int_t lastbin = -1, Int_t firstbin2 = 1, Int_t lastbin2 = -1, Option_t* proj_option = "", Option_t* draw_option = "")
 Creates a new THStack from a TH2 or TH3
 It is filled with the 1D histograms from GetProjectionX or GetProjectionY
 for each bin of the histogram. It illustrates the differences and total
 sum along an axis.

 Parameters:
 - hist:  the histogram used for the projections. Can be an object deriving
          from TH2 or TH3.
 - axis:  for TH2: "x" for ProjectionX, "y" for ProjectionY.
          for TH3: see TH3::Project3D.
 - name:  fName is set to name if given, otherwise to histo's name with
          "_stack_<axis>" appended, where <axis> is the value of the
          parameter axis.
 - title: fTitle is set to title if given, otherwise to histo's title
          with ", stack of <axis> projections" appended.
 - firstbin, lastbin:
          for each bin within [firstbin,lastbin] a stack entry is created.
          See TH2::ProjectionX/Y for use overflow bins.
          Defaults to "all bins but under- / overflow"
 - firstbin2, lastbin2:
          Other axis range for TH3::Project3D, defaults to "all bins but
          under- / overflow". Ignored for TH2s
 - proj_option:
          option passed to TH2::ProjectionX/Y and TH3::Project3D (along
          with axis)
 - draw_option:
          option passed to THStack::Add.

*-*                  ==========================================

   Options to draw histograms  are described in THistPainter::Paint
 By default (if option "nostack" is not specified), histograms will be paint
 stacked on top of each other.
TH1 * GetHistogram()
    Returns a pointer to the histogram used to draw the axis
    Takes into account the two following cases.
       1- option 'A' was specified in THStack::Draw. Return fHistogram
       2- user had called TPad::DrawFrame. return pointer to hframe histogram

 IMPORTANT NOTE
  You must call Draw before calling this function. The returned histogram
  depends on the selected Draw options.
Double_t GetMaximum(Option_t* option = "")
  returns the maximum of all added histograms
  returns the maximum of all histograms if option "nostack".
Double_t GetMinimum(Option_t* option = "")
  returns the minimum of all added histograms
  returns the minimum of all histograms if option "nostack".
TObjArray * GetStack()
 Return pointer to Stack. Build it if not yet done
TAxis * GetXaxis()
 Get x axis of the histogram used to draw the stack.

 IMPORTANT NOTE
  You must call Draw before calling this function. The returned histogram
  depends on the selected Draw options.
TAxis * GetYaxis()
 Get x axis of the histogram used to draw the stack.

 IMPORTANT NOTE
  You must call Draw before calling this function. The returned histogram
  depends on the selected Draw options.
void ls(Option_t* option = "") const
 List histograms in the stack
void Modified()
 invalidate sum of histograms
void Paint(Option_t* chopt = "")
 paint the list of histograms
 By default, histograms are shown stacked.
    -the first histogram is paint
    -then the sum of the first and second, etc

 If option "nostack" is specified, histograms are all paint in the same pad
 as if the option "same" had been specified.

 if option "pads" is specified, the current pad/canvas is subdivided into
 a number of pads equal to the number of histograms and each histogram
 is paint into a separate pad.

 See THistPainter::Paint for a list of valid options.
void Print(Option_t* chopt = "") const
 Print the list of histograms
void RecursiveRemove(TObject* obj)
 Recursively remove object from the list of histograms
void SavePrimitive(ostream& out, Option_t* option = "")
 Save primitive as a C++ statement(s) on output stream out
void SetMaximum(Double_t maximum = -1111)
 Set maximum.
void SetMinimum(Double_t minimum = -1111)
 Set minimum.
THStack& operator=(const THStack& )
TList * GetHists()
{ return fHists; }
