Hi Patrice,
In 2.22/05, GetMean or GetRMS compute these quantities from the bin
contents when an axis range has been specified.
For example when zooming with the mouse on a histogram or scatter-plot
the mean value, rms, etc are recomputed from the current visible range.
I have now implemented in my development version 2.22/06 the facility
to also start from the bin contents in case the normal statistics filled
by TH1::fill are not available (your case).
Thanks for the remark.
