[rrd-users] Need a way to show 2(or more) lines on a graph that have nearly identical values

2007-09-25 Thread Jack Tavares
I am plotting 4 lines on a graph on a 0-100 Y axis
 
In many cases the lines have nearly identical values and it is difficult
to see them.
(2 of the four lines are not shown because the DS's are empty)

I know that I can STACK them, but then I see lines that look like
this
http://jacktavares.com/rrd/stacked.png
 
and it looks like the line above has a value of ~20,
when in fact they both have a value of ~10
 
doing them as AREA has the same problem.
 
Other than putting them in individual graphs, am I missing a simple
solution?
 
Thanks

Of course. This is what STACKing does.
It stacks line #2 on top of line #1.

 doing them as AREA has the same problem.
Same as above. area #2 is stacked above area #1.

Hmmm ... In this case (CPU utilization of 4 severs I assume)
I would use individual graphs.

HTH,

Andreas.

  What about converting 2 of your sets of data to negative values and
plot them below your typical '0' x-axis.  This would result in having
only 2 lines very close together in 2 different spots on your graph as
opposed to 4 all together in the same spot.  shrug
