15 detailed examples. They are not always cut-and-paste ready because
16 comments are intermixed with the examples.

68 Depending on your needs you can do this in two ways:
70 · Offset the data, then graph this
72 DEF:mydata=my.rrd:ds:AVERAGE
74 Note: this will also influence any other command that uses "data"
76 CDEF:data=mydata,100,+
77 LINE1:data#FF0000:"Data with offset"
79 · Graph the original data, with an offset
81 DEF:mydata=my.rrd:ds:AVERAGE
83 Note: no color in the first line so it is not visible
85 LINE1:100
87 Note: the second line gets stacked on top of the first one
89 LINE1:data#FF0000:"Data with offset":STACK
92 Also works for HRULE and VRULE
94 · default style: - - - - -
95 LINE1:data#FF0000:"dashed line":dashes
97 · more fancy style with offset: - - --- - --- -
98 LINE1:data#FF0000:"another dashed

123 they can be used to generate the graph of a time series with confidence
124 bands and failures.

141 This example generates a graph of the data series in blue (LINE2 with
142 the scaledobs virtual data source), confidence bounds in red
143 (scaledupper and scaledlower virtual data sources), and potential
144 failures (i.e. potential aberrant aberrant behavior) marked by vertical
145 yellow lines (the fail data source).
148 observed time series (one consolidated data point per primary data
149 point). The predicted (or smoothed) values are stored in the HWPREDICT
152 indicators, with 1 denoting a potential failure.
154 All of the data is rescaled to bits (instead of Octets) by multiplying
155 by 8. The confidence bounds are computed by an offset of 2 deviations
156 both above and below the predicted values (the CDEFs upper and lower).
157 Vertical lines indicated potential failures are graphed via the TICK
159 marks. Here an axis-fraction argument of 1.0 means the tick marks span
160 the entire y-axis, and hence become vertical lines on the graph.
162 The choice of 2 deviations (a scaling factor) matches the default used
164 rrdtune), this graphing command should be changed to be consistent.
168 The r\brr\brd\bdt\bto\boo\bol\bl _\bg_\br_\ba_\bp_\bh command is designed to plot data at a specified
169 temporal resolution, regardless of the actually resolution of the data
170 in the RRD file. This can present a problem for the specialized
171 consolidation functions which maintain a one-to-one mapping between
172 primary data points and consolidated data points. If a graph insists on
175 bands and failures no longer have the same meaning and may be
176 misleading.
179 rrdgraph gives an overview of how r\brr\brd\bdt\bto\boo\bol\bl g\bgr\bra\bap\bph\bh works. rrdgraph_data
180 describes D\bDE\bEF\bF,C\bCD\bDE\bEF\bF and V\bVD\bDE\bEF\bF in detail. rrdgraph_rpn describes the R\bRP\bPN\bN
182 all the graph and print functions.
