//    This macro illustrates how to use the TH1::FitSlicesY function
//    It uses the TH2F histogram generated in macro hsimple.C
//    It invokes FitSlicesY and draw the fitted "mean" and "sigma"
//    in 2 sepate pads.
//    This macro shows also how to annotate a picture, change
//    some pad parameters.
