[Rivet] histogram legend with spaces and other characters

[Raghav Kunnawalkam Elayavalli]

Ok i see that it has the tex in it and the % needs to come with the \%
this works for me now: 0_20_wRecoils.yoda:'$0-20\%, w/ Recoils$'

Thanks for the help Andy!

Cheers
Raghav

Hi Raghav,

You can give arbitrary histogram names on the command line like this:

rivet-mkhtml a.yoda:A b.yoda:"Histo B" c.yoda:'$\mathcal{C}$'

where the labels get increasingly silly from left to right. This is just a convenient way of setting the Title attribute in each HISTOGRAM block in the .dat files: those are used in the legend, while the Title of the PLOT block (if given) is written at the top of the plot.

Hi Rivet Experts,

Its me again :)

I have a question regarding histogram legends in the plot. At the moment, if we dont give a specific title, then the name of the yoda file is taken as the legend. Even if i try to give a different title, it has to be one without any spaces or special characters. for example i have a histogram that i ideally want to label
0-20%, w/ recoils
but this wont get accepted now and make-plots just crashes. I have to say it like so 0_20_wRecoils and that works. Is there a way i can give my custom legend to the histogram. I see that you can give a custom legend in the make plot documentation page, but it looks like its only for the plot as opposed to a specific histogram?

Cheers
Raghav
