Hello everyone!
I'd like to plot minimum values of temperature over a given time period.
Thereby, I have 8 min values (March to October) which I'd like to plot over 10 years.
Let's say this is my minimum value array with 80 elements:
minimum=FLOAT([minimum_1991,minimum_1992,minimum_1993,minimu m_1994,minimum_1995,minimum_1996,minimum_1997,minimum_1998,m inimum_1999,minimum_2000])
Currently my x-Axis looks like this:
years = [1991,1992,1993,1994,1995,1996,1997,1998,1999,2000]
The problem is, that I have monthly values (8 not 12 months) and I'd like to plot these monthly values over the time period. This would require an 80-elements x-Axis and I don't know how to label it properly.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers

I think the simplest way would be to put March-October on the x-axis, and plot each year with a different line/symbol/colour. I don't think an 80-element x-axis is what you really want.
cheers,
Greg
