PAW Tutorial

• Vectors
• Histograms
• Ntuples
• Miscellaneous

Each example is linked to the next one. It is better to scan the examples in the proposed order.

A printable A4 PostScript version ("one per page"), a A4 PostScript version ("two per page"), a Legal PostScript version ("one per page"), a Legal PostScript version ("two per page"), a compressed tar file of all the examples and a compressed tar file of the html pages are also available.
