2D histogram drawing

Hello,

I have a question concerning drawing options of the TH2 histogram. When I draw the TH2D histogram with “surf1” option I get something like in here:


But, I would like to get something similar to the CMS plot with such a sharp peak:


Does anybody has any idea how to do this?

Cheers,
Lukasz

Are you plotting exactly the same histogram ? They look very different …

No no, they are different of course, but it’s just an example. For the (0,0) peak they, in CMS, have very sharp peak, for me this peak has a size of a bin - it’s flat on top (rectangle of a bin size in x and y). Maybe another example from the CMS paper is better (hope it’s more clear to see what I mean):


Again, in my case, I have this flat rectangle on top of the peak:


The root algorithm drawing surfaces simply connect the bin centers.
If you have a such “flat peak” it is because of your data.
Check with other options like LEGO or COL.
Very likely they will confirm you have there a kind of platform made of several bins.

OK! Thanks, it helped! I didn’t know that it connects the centers of bins. I have even number of bins in the specified range where 0 is in the middle, so i.e. 4 bins make the flat peak. Specifying odd number should solve the problem.
