Hello,
I want to plot a graph of let's say y = x by reading data from a data file in four quadrants in ROOT. How can i do it?
can anybody give me some information?
I guess you can divide a TCanvas in 4 parts and draw a graph in each … Do you have an example showing the kind of plot you want ?
Hello sir,
Thank you for your kind reply. I am attaching a plot that i want to plot using root . What i have done is basically, I made a for loop to generate data points of y = x by varying x from -300 to +300. By reading the data points from the data file , i plotted a graph. I am attaching two plots of y = x below. One is obtained from root and other i got it by searching over google. What i want is to plot it in four quadrants .

here is an example:
{
c = new TCanvas("c","XY plot",200,10,700,500);
c->SetFillColor(0);
c->SetFrameLineColor(10);
c->SetFrameBorderMode(0);
const Int_t n = 4;
Double_t x[n] = {-1, -3, -9, 3};
Double_t y[n] = {-1000, 900, 300, 300};
gr = new TGraph(n,x,y);
gr->SetTitle("XY plot");
gr->SetMinimum(-1080);
gr->SetMaximum(1080);
gr->Draw("AC*");
gr->GetHistogram()->GetYaxis()->SetTickLength(0);
gr->GetHistogram()->GetXaxis()->SetTickLength(0);
gr->GetHistogram()->GetYaxis()->SetLabelOffset(999);
gr->GetHistogram()->GetXaxis()->SetLabelOffset(999);
gr->GetHistogram()->GetXaxis()->SetAxisColor(0);
gr->GetHistogram()->GetYaxis()->SetAxisColor(0);
gPad->Update();
TGaxis *yaxis = new TGaxis(0, gPad->GetUymin(),
0, gPad->GetUymax(),
gPad->GetUymin(),gPad->GetUymax(),6,"+LN");
yaxis->Draw();
TGaxis *xaxis = new TGaxis(gPad->GetUxmin(), 0,
gPad->GetUxmax(), 0,
gPad->GetUxmin(),gPad->GetUxmax(),510,"+L");
xaxis->Draw();
}Hello sir,
Thank you so much. This code worked as well. I am trying to understand the whole code. I need to understand this TGaxis given below. How can i set the X and Y axis title ?
TGaxis *yaxis = new TGaxis(0, gPad->GetUymin(),
0, gPad->GetUymax(),
gPad->GetUymin(),gPad->GetUymax(),6,"+LN");
yaxis->Draw();
TGaxis *xaxis = new TGaxis(gPad->GetUxmin(), 0,
gPad->GetUxmax(), 0,
gPad->GetUxmin(),gPad->GetUxmax(),510,"+L");

{

// Remove the frame

Hello sir,
Thank you so much . It worked as well. I am very happy. Actually I am learning root. I have to know so many things. I am trying my best. This is a good disscussion forum of root problems. I am very happy that, I have been included in the group .
With regards,
Prasant
You are welcome ! 
Hello sir,
Can you please help me, how can i add GRID to the canvas. what i am thinking is to create a TFrame with same dimension as that of the canvas and apply SetGrid() method to it. Is it going to work?
With regards,
Prasant
