I am sorry raw idea about plot is correct....but mistaken about giving
title....please neglect title
it should be as


   title --->                      13aug          14aug            15aug

 WUCM                         plot0             plot1              plot2
             vertical scale for WUCM and NOUCM    vertical scale for
WUCM-NOUCM
 NOUCM                        plot3             plot4              plot5
 (WUCM - NOUCM)         plot6             plot7              plot8


WUCM, NOUCM and (WUCM - NOUCM) is left axis string....title and string I
can provide....about scale doubtful as well as arranging plots from top to
bottom
