Ok, Thanks for letting me know Andy. I'll just write a pyroot script to do it myself then... <div class="gmail_quote">On 17 March 2011 23:13, Andy Buckley <<a href="mailto:andy.buckley@ed.ac.uk">andy.buckley@ed.ac.uk</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On 17/03/11 08:40, Robert King wrote: > Hi Rivet Experts, > > I expect this is a simple question, but I couldn't see how to do it.

If you convert them to ROOT you'll get TGraphs, which are the same sort of deal, or TH1Fs in which case the combination is going to be a bit dodgy. This has been a bit of a thorn in our side for a while, but it was more important to keep developing the physics content than to rewrite the histogramming. That's changing with our next release: we're taking a couple of months to migrate all the histogramming to a new system which will support all these good things. But for now it's approximations, I'm afraid: sorry!
