/// Palette coloring for 2D histograms' stack is activated thanks to the option `PFC`
/// (Palette Fill Color).
/// When this option is given to `THStack::Draw` the histograms  in the
/// `THStack` get their color from the current color palette defined by
/// `gStyle->SetPalette(...)`. The color is determined according to the number of
/// histograms.
///
/// In this example four 2D histograms are displayed with palette coloring.
/// The color of each graph is picked inside the palette number 1.
