Labeling Colour Palette in Z option

ROOT
1

Hello,

I’m just trying to figure out how to put a label on a colour palette in drawing options such as
"COLZ", “SURF4Z”

here’s the relevant chunk of code.

hist[1].Draw("colz");
hist[1].SetTitle("Gap One");// use cstring to sort this out
hist[1].GetYaxis().SetTitle("Y position(cm)");
hist[1].GetXaxis().SetTitle("X position(cm)");
hist[1].GetZaxis().SetTitle("#DeltaI( #muA)");
Can.cd(2);
hist[1].Draw("surf3Z");
Can.SetTitle("Position V.S. #Delta I");
Can.Update();

apparently setting Z title didn’t help.

Thank you for your help

I should mention that I tried implementing

 TPaletteAxis *palette = (TPaletteAxis*)h2->GetListOfFunctions()->FindObject("palette");
   palette->SetY2NDC(0.7);

From:http://www.hep.by/root/TPaletteAxis.html
as

//TPaletteAxis *palette = (TPaletteAxis*)hist[0]->GetListOfFunctions()->FindObject("palette"); TPaletteAxis* palette = dynamic_cast<TPaletteAxis*>(hist[1].GetListOfFunctions()->FindObject("palette")); palette->SetY2NDC(0.7); //palette->SetName (const char *name="this"); //GetAxis()->SetTitle("#DeltaI #muA");

and I get

[quote]Error: illegal pointer to class object palette 0x0 2916 code.cpp:82:
*** Interpreter error recovered ***
[/quote]

I’m a little bit puzzled because my “copy and paste” from the example didn’t work.
