   // Example illustrating how to draw the n-sigma contour of a Minuit fit.
   // To get the n-sigma contour the ERRDEF parameter in Minuit has to set
   // to n^2. The fcn function has to be set before the routine is called.

   // WARNING!!! This test works only with TMinuit
   //
   // The TGraph object is created via the interpreter. The user must cast it
   // to a TGraph*

   //be sure default is Minuit since we will use gMinuit
