Hi John,

Sorry for the mistake I made for providing useless data.
Here I am interest only on Tmin and Tmax columns. I want to use the same
approach with the previous data. I want to plot on the same graph not
separate graph. Thanks

> dput(head(BUTemp))structure(list(Year = c(1971L, 1971L, 1971L, 1971L, 1971L, 1971L
), Month = c(2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L), Day = 1:6, Rain = c(0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0), Tmax = c(24.3, 25, 25.6, 26.5, 27.8, 27.5), Tmin = c(13.5,
13.2, 12.7, 12.7, 12.2, 14)), .Names = c("Year", "Month", "Day",
"Rain", "Tmax", "Tmin"), row.names = c(NA, 6L), class = "data.frame")

Regards,

Frederic.
