TH3 and the label size on colour palette

ROOT
1

Hi,

I have a TH3 histogram which I draw as:

hist_power_1->Draw(“glcolz”);

and then I try to resize the labels on the colour palette using the standard procedure:

gPad->Update();
TPaletteAxis pal_1 = (TPaletteAxis)hist_power_1->GetListOfFunctions()->FindObject(“palette”);
pal_1->GetAxis()->SetLabelSize(0.03);

But it does not work. I get:

I am using ROOT6 on a MacOSX 10.9.

Is it possible to change the colour palette labels for a TH3 histogram?

Thank you,

Cristian

With the GL option the palette is not the same as the one without. It is part of the plot
You cannot really act on it.

Hello,

I see. Thank you for your reply. Then I am still wondering, knowing that it is not possible to change the label sizes in the palette with the GL option, if it could be possible to make them be a bigger size BEFORE drawing the histogram with the “glcolz” option? Something like gStyle->SetLabelsSize() or something similar.

The reason I ask is that I want to put the plot in a paper, and the labels on the colour palette are not easily readable, so I want to make them bigger… I am sure someone else must have had this problem before I did.

Many thanks,

Cristian

I just look at the code. A TGAxis axis is created in DrawPaletteAxis in TGLPlotPainter.cxx.
But not external settings are applied to this axis.
