Suppressed zero in histograms

ROOT
1

Hi,

I’ve noticed that in recent versions of ROOT (e.g. 4.01.03) some histograms are displayed with a suppressed zero. I haven’t investigated the problem in much depth but it seems to only occur on histograms in which all bins have entries. Is this a feature or a bug? Can it be toggled via a TStyle function?

Mike,

We will add an option (TStyle or THistPainter)

Hi Rene,

Great, thank you. A global flag would be the best. I must come out in general favor of such global flags though I do appreciate that they introduce some dependency and additional complexity. But for the end user it’s great.

Is there a workaround that we can use in the meantime?

Thanks,

Nick.

I will implement that global option. Meanwhile the workaround is to set the histogram minimum to 0 (SetMinimum)
