Hi Mina,

The parameters of TGraphErrors::ComputeRange must be initialized before
calling the function. This function is called to compute the min/max 
of one or more graphs.
I recommend the use of TMath::LocMin and LocMax to find the location of
the min/max of an array in general. For example:
  Int_t ixmin = TMath::LocMin(gr->GetN(),gr->GetX());
  Int_t iymax = TMath::Locmax(gr->GetN(),gr->GetY());
  Double_t xmin = gr->GetX()[ixmin];
  Double_t ymax = gr->GetY()[iymax];
