In this particular case, the initial values # are taken from the result of the individual fits. from ROOT import TH1F, TF1 from ROOT import gROOT from array import array gROOT.Reset() x = ( 1.913521, 1.953769, 2.347435, 2.883654, 3.493567, 4.047560, 4.337210, 4.364347, 4.563004, 5.054247, 5.194183, 5.380521, 5.303213, 5.384578, 5.563983, 5.728500, 5.685752, 5.080029, 4.251809, 3.372246, 2.207432, 1.227541, 0.8597788,0.8220503,0.8046592, 0.7684097,0.7469761,0.8019787,0.8362375,0.8744895, 0.9143721,0.9462768,0.9285364,0.8954604,0.8410891, 0.7853871,0.7100883,0.6938808,0.7363682,0.7032954, 0.6029015,0.5600163,0.7477068,1.188785, 1.938228, 2.602717, 3.472962, 4.465014, 5.177035 ) np = len(x) h = TH1F( 'h', 'Example of several fits in subranges', np, 85, 134 ) h.SetMaximum( 7 ) for i in xrange(np): h.SetBinContent( i+1, x[i] ) par = array( 'd', 9*[0.] ) g1 = TF1( 'g1', 'gaus', 85, 95 ) g2 = TF1( 'g2', 'gaus', 98, 108 ) g3 = TF1( 'g3', 'gaus', 110, 121 ) total = TF1( 'total', 'gaus(0)+gaus(3)+gaus(6)', 85, 125 ) total.SetLineColor( 2 ) h.Fit( g1, 'R' ) h.Fit( g2, 'R+' ) h.Fit( g3, 'R+' ) par1 = g1.GetParameters() par2 = g2.GetParameters() par3 = g3.GetParameters() par[0], par[1], par[2] = par1[0], par1[1], par1[2] par[3], par[4], par[5] = par2[0], par2[1], par2[2] par[6], par[7], par[8] = par3[0], par3[1], par3[2] total.SetParameters( par ) h.Fit( total, 'R+' )
