How to save the multiple histogram in one pdf

[chanchal]

Dear Experts,

I am using a fitting script to fit all the histogram simultaneously with the binned fit as there is a total of 81 histograms that I want to fit. I am able to fit all the histogram simultaneously and saved it in another root file after the fit.
But now I want to save all the histograms in pdf after the fitting. For this, I am trying with h1->SaveAs(“hist1.pdf”). but after the run, this pdf (hist1.pdf) is coming empty.

Here’s the macro and the root file: binned_D01_Kpipi0_RS_M_D0.C (3.9 KB) and D0_M_all_set_kpipi0_total_proc11_4loop.root (95.9 KB)

Would you please help??

Regards,
Chanchal Sharma

The following version of your macro create 81 pdf files.
We can also make the 81 plot in one single file if you need.
Let me know.

binned_D01_Kpipi0_RS_M_D0.C (3.7 KB)

Thanks for this and sorry for the late reply. I just see this msg.

Open a canvas. Use hist->Draw() to draw the histograms as pictures (you’re not wanting to save the objects to a ROOT file, right?).

For multiple page output, it’s a bit tricky, and uses magic characters.

TCanvas canvas("canvas");
canvas.Print("my_output.pdf[");     // Opens output file for multipage
canvas.Clear();
hist1->Draw();
canvas.Print("my_output.pdf");     // First page with one histogram
canvas.Clear();
hist2->Draw();
canvas.Print("my_output.pdf");    // Second page with one histogram
. . .
canvas.Print("my_output.pdf]");   // Finished; close the multipage file

You can wrap the stuff between the “[” and “]” lines in a loop, or a function call, or whatever. You can divide the canvas into subpads if you want multiple histograms per page, and so on.
