Tools menu is missing from my canvas

Roofit and RooStats

hi Folks,

I was trying to follow the example on:

root.cern.ch/drupal/content/how- … g-fitpanel

I simply copied and pasted:

TH1F *h1 = new TH1F(“h1”, “h1”, 200, -5,5);
TF1 *f1 = new TF1(“f1”, “[2]*TMath::Gaus(x,[0],[1])”);
f1->SetParameters(1,1,1);
h1->FillRandom(“f1”);
h1->Draw()

this created a canvas almost identical to the one shown on the web page, BUT the main menu shows:

File Edit View Options Inspect Classes Help

instead of

File Edit View Options Tools Help

My guess is that I missed something during install, but what? I have not been able to find.

I run ubuntu 10.04 and I installed everything root related I saw on synaptic.

thanks,

Antonio

Hi,

I’m not able to reproduce the problem. Could you tell us whitch version of ROOT you are using?

Cheers, Bertrand.

Hi there,

sorry, I mentioned ubuntu 10.04 and forgot to say:

  • Version 5.18/00b 10 March 2008 *

this is the one that is available with ubuntu 10.04. I suspect you will tell me to download the newest from the website. I will wait until you tell me to do it :slight_smile:

thanks,

Antonio

Hi Antonio,

Well, this is not a bug, but the interface (menu) has slightly changed between 5.18 and the current svn trunk, and a few new features have been added… Now, up to you to decide to use a newer version (but we encourage you to do it anyway)

Cheers, Bertrand.

Please respect the RootForum policy. Post your mails to the correct thread.
In your case this has nothing to do with math and stats. Post it to “Root Support”
