Two adjacent graphs

ROOT
1

I want to plot a TGraph and TF1 under each other, so that they have a common x axis. I saw a very good solution here

The problem is that I want the lower pad to be three times smaller than the upper one. So, I had to modify a little the script provided there. I have attached my version. It draws the two pads in the right ratio, but on top of each other.

I appreciate any help.

The attachement is missing…

Oh, I hate when I forget the attachments.

Since I get the following error

I will only copy the contents of the macro.

do:

[...]
   c1->cd();  // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
   TPad *pad2 = new TPad("pad2","",0,0,1,0.3);
[...]

Thank you. This was obvious, I should have seen it myself. Can you please help get rid of the margins between the two pads?

Change the pad position to reduce the top margins.
