Hi guys,

Probably a semi-dreaded topic here but does anyone have a good idea as to how 
to make the legend align?
Tools like munin seem to have a pretty good grasp of it but whatever I try I 
always end up with one value or another out of place.

Currently I'm looking to create a structure like this

             | Heading 1                | Heading 2
line1     Value1.1                       Value1.2
line2     Value2.1                       Value2.2
area1   Value3.1                       Value3.2
area2   Value4.1                       Value4.2

Now whichever way I try to swing this I always end up with uneven spacings 
between value1.1 and value 1.2 compared to value2.1 to 2.2 because the value 
outputted for 2.1 has an extra zero or something like that screwing up the 
spacing. Or if the name of area2 has more characters everything else gets 
bumped.

To give you an idea:
        "COMMENT:              Average",
        "COMMENT:        Max\\n",
        "AREA:tierin#014194:Incoming:STACK",
        "GPRINT:inbits:AVERAGE:%6.2lf %Sbps     ",
        "GPRINT:inbits:MAX:%6.2lf %Sbps\\l",
        "AREA:tierout#014194:Outgoing:STACK",
        "GPRINT:outbits:AVERAGE:%6.2lf %Sbps     ",
        "GPRINT:outbits:MAX:%6.2lf %Sbps\\l",

That works, ish, for interface-related graphs but screws up because of the 
usage of spaces and other stuff to align everything. The fact that Incoming and 
Outgoing use, character-wise, the same amount of space is the only thing that 
saves me.

I've tried a few things with the GPRINT statement and COMMENT and though I can 
get it to work for a few specific graphs I haven't found a universal way of 
achieving this. Is there an "easy" way to do this, did someone happen to write 
a tool for it or can I use something like the html <table>-tag?

Kind regards,
