Read a 1-D histogram from a ROOT File and draw it.
We attach (or generate) the ROOT file in $ROOTSYS/tutorials/hsimple.root
or $PWD/hsimple.root
We draw one histogram in different formats.

Fetch and open the hsimple.root File
TFile *example = TFile::Open(gROOT->GetTutorialDir() + "/hsimple.root");
example->ls(); // Show the file contents

Get the histogram from the ROOT File
TH1 *hpx = nullptr; // pointer to base class TH1 is enough
example->GetObject("hpx", hpx);
TCanvas *c1 = new TCanvas("c1","Histogram Drawing Options",200,10,700,900);
TPad *pad1 = new TPad("pad1",
"The pad with the function",0.03,0.62,0.50,0.92);
TPad *pad2 = new TPad("pad2",
"The pad with the histogram",0.51,0.62,0.98,0.92);
TPad *pad3 = new TPad("pad3",
"The pad with the histogram",0.03,0.02,0.97,0.57);
pad1->Draw();
pad2->Draw();
pad3->Draw();
Draw a global picture title
TPaveLabel *title = new TPaveLabel(0.1,0.94,0.9,0.98,
"Drawing options for one dimensional histograms");
title->SetTextFont(52);
title->Draw();
Draw histogram hpx in first pad with the default option.
pad1->cd();
pad1->GetFrame()->SetFillColor(18);
hpx->SetFillColor(45);
hpx->DrawCopy();
TPaveLabel *label1 = new TPaveLabel(-3.5,700,-1,800,"Default option");
label1->Draw();
Draw hpx as a lego. Clicking on the lego area will show a "transparent cube" to guide you rotating the lego in real time.
pad2->cd();
hpx->DrawCopy("lego1");
TPaveLabel *label2 = new TPaveLabel(-0.72,0.74,-0.22,0.88,"option Lego1");
label2->Draw();
TPaveLabel *label2a = new TPaveLabel(-0.93,-1.08,0.25,-0.92,
"Click on lego to rotate");
label2a->Draw();
Draw hpx with its errors and a marker.
pad3->cd();
pad3->SetGridx();
pad3->SetGridy();
hpx->SetMarkerStyle(21);
hpx->Draw("e1p");
TPaveLabel *label3 = new TPaveLabel(2,600,3.5,650,"option e1p");
label3->Draw();
The following illustrates how to add comments using a PaveText. Attributes of text/lines/boxes added to a PaveText can be modified. The AddText function returns a pointer to the added object.
TPaveText *pave = new TPaveText(-3.78,500,-1.2,750);
TText *t1=pave->AddText("You can move");
t1->SetTextColor(4);
t1->SetTextSize(0.05);
pave->AddText("Title and Stats pads");
pave->AddText("X and Y axis");
pave->AddText("You can modify bin contents");
pave->Draw();
c1->Update();
