You can enable/disable the statistics box or fit in a canvas
by activating/deactivating the corresponding option in the canvas
"Option" menu.
You can also set the equivalent mode via
gStyle->SetOptStat(int mode)
gStyle->SetOptFit(int mode)

In version 1.01/07 coming this week, I have added additional options.
- The type of information printed in the histogram statistics box
can be selected via gStyle->SetOptStat(mode).
The parameter mode can be = nemruo (default = 111100)
n = 1; name of histogram is printed
e = 1; number of entries printed
m = 1; mean value printed
r = 1; rms printed
u = 1; number of underflows printed
o = 1; number of overflows printed
Example: gStyle->SetOptStat(11);
print only name of histogram and number of entries.
