1. The command IDOPT , allows to set attributes on a given histogram. Here, the histogram 110 will have logarithmic scale on the Y axis and will be drawn with error bars. These options are independant from the global settings define via the command OPTION .
2. Here we show that the options set via IDOPT are stored in the histogram data stucture.
