Projection works in terminal, doesn't work in macro

Hi,

I’m having an issue writing a set of commands into a macro. I need it to get a matrix from a root file, set a Y projection and then fit a peak on said projection. I figured out what to do by using commands in the terminal, but for some reason the marco only partially works. I get the result of the fit but it doesn’t draw my graph.

Is there something the terminal is doing behind the scenes that I need to manually implement in a macro?

I would be really grateful for any advice on the matter,
Sam

Thank you for your swift reply, works perfectly now!
