Hello Rooters,

I am using some histograms with Fit results, and I was trying to
modify the size of the stat box with the TStyle class:

TStyle *Style=new TStyle("MyStyle","MyStyle");
Style->SetStatH(0.15);
Style->SetStatW(0.85);
Style->SetOptFit(1);

CCanvas->UseCurrentStyle();
CCanvas->Modified();
CCanvas->Update();

The height of the stat box is properly modified, but not the width (it's
set to the height of the box)

I took a look at the source code of TH1, and I saw:

Float_t statw = gStyle->GetStatW();
if (fit) statw = 1.8*gStyle->GetStatH();

Float_t stath = 0.25*nlines*gStyle->GetStatH();
if (fit) stath += gStyle->GetStatH();

So there seems to me that the in the case of fit data, the stat box is
sized according to the given height but not to the given width.

Am I wrong, and is there a way to set the width of the box?

Thank you for your help.

Mathieu
