Joe, My reading of this thread is that you have asked the wrong question. Or, at least you have not explained what you requirement is very clearly and I wonder if you have also asked on the wrong list.[1]
As a result you are not getting the help you're looking for. My understanding of your requirement: * Produce a graph 'image' from an RRDTool database with custom titles and legend information on it. ------------ The fact that the "SmokePing" application put the data in to the RRDTool database is only coincidental. So, http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/ http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph.en.html http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph_examples.en.html Is this more what you're after? D [1] Please excuse my blunt, and perhaps rude, break down of the problem here. I do not mean to offend, I just felts you weren't getting anywhere and wondered if it's a language problem that's causing confusion. So the best way I could think of to try and help was by being a bit more direct and black and white.
