You don't need to increment the class version here: the only data member you added to the class was fRefLength, which is not taking part in the I/O. This is also called a "transient" data member, and these are marked by the exclamation mark in the associated doc string.

What made you increase the class version in your most recent commit?

Thanks for the clarification regarding the transient member. I initially kept the ClassDef version unchanged for that exact reason.

However, I later bumped it because the CI failed on roottest-root-aclic-offset-offset with a size mismatch error (Expected: 1000, Got: 1024). I misinterpreted this failure as the system rejecting the class layout change, which is why I attempted the version bump to fix it.

I have now re-analyzing the test output, I realize the failure is simply detecting the 24-byte size increase (3 axes × 8 bytes padding/float) caused by adding fRefLength.

I have reverted the ClassDef change in the latest commit. Could you advise on how to handle the roottest failure? Does the reference file (offset.ref) need to be updated to reflect the new TH1 size?

Thanks!

hey @guitargeek can you let me know if you have any idea how should i go about combating the failing test case?

@guitargeek could please let me know how should i fix the failing test case.

Also i tried to scale the status box and legend too, but i had a few issues in it due to the internal scaling logic of them, please let me know if i should continue to try to fix them too, or only the axis being scaled is enough.

The changes only work on the local graph(c++ painters) not the web graph(JSROOT) i was also looking into if that could be implemented in the web graph too, please let me know if i should try to work on that too.

Thanks!
