Please let me summarize in my own words: If you display 4000 rates on a 400-pixel wide graph, you want to see 10 dots per column, not a line or an area connecting an minimum, average, maximum or last. Correct? If so: This would require programming (in rrd_graph.c and friends). In my example of 10 dots per column, how do you suggest RRDtool graph should show these rates: 1 1 1 3 4 7 7 7 7 ? Should it show 6 dots of equal size, should it show 2 large dots and two small dots, or ... ? If my summary is not correct, then what do you mean? -- Alex van den Bogaerdt http://www.vandenbogaerdt.nl/rrdtool/ _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list rrd-users@lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
