Hi Rene,
thank you for your answer. I noticed now that I do not understand it
completely. Looking into the sources, I find that TH1::Reset does not
reset the bin contents. What is it supposed to do?
My solution is now: TH1* a = ..., *b = ...; a->Add(b,b,1,0); It looks a
little bit funny. Is this the preferred solution?
Kind regards
Christoph
