TGraph2D axes formatting

Hi Rooters,

I am creating multiple 3D graphs using the TGraph2D function. It’s going well; except, the SetNumberContours doesn’t get saved to the Macro. I created a subroutine that I have used successfully with 1 and 2 dimensional histograms and TGraph. However, this doesn’t work with TGraph2D regardless if I put the axes format commands in the main program or a subroutine. There seems to be nothing about formatting axes in the manual.

Any ideas?

The axis are hold by the underlying histogram created when the 2D graph is drawn.

do

        dt->Draw("surf1");
        gPad->Update();
        SetupAxesg( dt,mainTitle,xTitle,yTitle,zTitle);

Thanks, Olivier! That works!
