Numerical integration with ROOT. (Function defined in points)

Be aware that the TGraph::Integral name is extremely misleading.
It calculates the “pseudo-integral” of a closed polygon, NOT the “integral” of the function.
Try this: { TGraph *g = new TGraph(); g->SetPoint(0, 1.0, 1.0); g->SetPoint(1, 2.0, 0.0); g->SetPoint(2, 3.0, 2.0); g->SetPoint(3, 4.0, 1.0); g->Draw("AL*"); std::cout << "ROOT's pseudo-integral = " << g->Integral(0, 3) << std::endl; }
