| To make a Brazilian plot, you can make a simple python script that automatically creates the datacards for different values of some parameter like the invariant mass. [[limits:brazilianplotexample|This example]] shows scan for the background uncertainty. | To make a Brazilian plot, you can make a simple python script that automatically creates the datacards for different values of some parameter like the invariant mass.
