the hello world example: ------------------------ root[0] TPaveLabel hello(0.2,0.4,0.8,0.6,"Hello World"); root[1] hello.Draw(); - "hello" is an object of the class "TPaveLabel" - "0.2,0.4,0.8,0.6" are the lower and upper coordinates of the Pave (the range is from 0 to 1) - the second command will draw this object and will automatically create a graphics canvas
