Transparent histograms backgrounds

ROOT
1

I am interested in drawing histograms with all backgrounds transparent. I have only suceeded in making the canvas transparent, the background to the plot is still white. I have tried…

canvas->SetFillStyle(4000);
gpad->SetFillStyle(4000);
histogram->SetHistFillStyle(4000);

Am I missing something?

I saw that example and it is very nice, but what I need is for the background to be transparent. If I put the histogram into a presentation I would like to be able to see the slide background as the background for the histogram. Is it not possible to get access to the background of the histogram panel and to change its fill style?

Thank you for your help!

I am not sure to understand. Do you want a transparent Pad ? do you have a little example showing what you want ?
