Problem with pad dimensioning

ROOT
1

Hello,

I’m trying to customize my plots by modifying margin and label size and offset. I started form a style I didn’t write.

My problem is the following one : I increased the margins of the pad (with “SetPad___Margin”) to get more space for the axis style and use a bigger font. But, there is still a drawing box which stay and with the same dimension of the pad by default. This box is not really a problem itself (it goes away if I ask to hide the title or the statistics or when I save the canvas as a picture). But, if I draws a 2d-plot with the option “colz” to get the coloured bar, this bar does fit the pad but with the box. So, I guess that if I’m able to to modify the box to get the same dimensions that the pad, the colored bar will be ok.

My apologies if I’m not clear enough.

I put below my rootlogon.C and a picture to illustrate my problem.

Thank you for your help,

Xavier

I do not understand where this extra box comes from.
Can you send the smallest possible macro reproducing the problem ?

In fact, no. If I plot data directly from the prompt, I get no problem.

For the picture I showed above, it’s a figure saved as a ROOT file a couple of month ago. I just tried to re-plot today with a new style. I guess the extra box comes from the file itself :confused: My mistake.

I will re-draw figures directly from data with the new style instead of using old ROOT files.

Sorry and thank you.

OK let me know if you still have problems after the new try.
