+// PURPOSE:
+//
+// This macro defines a standard style for (black-and-white) 
+// "publication quality" LHCb ROOT plots. 
+//
+// USAGE:
+//
+// Include the lines
+//   gROOT->ProcessLine(".L lhcbstyle.C");
+//   lhcbStyle();
+// at the beginning of your root macro.
+//
+// Example usage is given in myPlot.C
+//
+// COMMENTS:
+//
+// Font:
+// 
+// The font is chosen to be 132, this is Times New Roman (like the text of
+//  your document) with precision 2.
+//
+// "Landscape histograms":
+//
+// The style here is designed for more or less square plots.
+// For longer histograms, or canvas with many pads, adjustements are needed. 
+// For instance, for a canvas with 1x5 histograms:
+//  TCanvas* c1 = new TCanvas("c1", "L0 muons", 600, 800);
+//  c1->Divide(1,5);
+//  Adaptions like the following will be needed:
+//  gStyle->SetTickLength(0.05,"x");
+//  gStyle->SetTickLength(0.01,"y");
+//  gStyle->SetLabelSize(0.15,"x");
+//  gStyle->SetLabelSize(0.1,"y");
+//  gStyle->SetStatW(0.15);
+//  gStyle->SetStatH(0.5);
+//
+// Authors: Thomas Schietinger, Andrew Powell, Chris Parkes, Niels Tuning
+// Maintained by Editorial board member (currently Niels)
