+Rivet installs an
 \kbd{aida2root} script, which converts the AIDA records to a \kbd{.root} file
 full of ROOT \texttt{TGraph}s. One word of warning: a bug in ROOT means that
 \texttt{TGraph}s do not render properly from file because the axis is not drawn by
 default. To display the plots correctly in ROOT you will need to pass the
 \kbd{"AP"} drawing option string to either the \kbd{TGraph::Draw()} method, or
 in the options box in the \kbd{TBrowser} GUI interface.
+Alternatively you can also use the \kbd{-t} option with which \kbd{aida2root}

 Rivet comes with three commands --- \kbd{rivet-mkhtml}, \kbd{compare-histos} and
 \kbd{make-plots} --- for comparing and plotting data files. These commands
 produce nice comparison plots of publication quality from the AIDA format text
