- In order to avoid anti-aliasing effects gridlines are placed on
- integer pixel values. This is by default done by extending the
- scale so that gridlines happens to be spaced using an integer num-
- ber of pixels and also start on an integer pixel value. This might
- extend the scale too much for some logarithmic scales and for lin-
- ear scales where -\b--\b-a\bal\blt\bt-\b-a\bau\but\bto\bos\bsc\bca\bal\ble\be is needed. Using -\b--\b-n\bno\bo-\b-g\bgr\bri\bid\bdf\bfi\bit\bt

- The x-axis label is quite complex to configure. If you don't have
- very special needs it is probably best to rely on the autoconfigu-
- ration to get this right. You can specify the string "none" to sup-
- press the grid and labels altogether.
-
- The grid is defined by specifying a certain amount of time in the
- _\b?_\bT_\bM positions. You can choose from "SECOND", "MINUTE", "HOUR",
- "DAY", "WEEK", "MONTH" or "YEAR". Then you define how many of these
- should pass between each line or label. This pair (_\b?_\bT_\bM_\b:_\b?_\bS_\bT) needs
- to be specified for the base grid (_\bG_\b?_\b?), the major grid (_\bM_\b?_\b?) and
- the labels (_\bL_\b?_\b?). For the labels you also must define a precision
- in _\bL_\bP_\bR and a _\bs_\bt_\br_\bf_\bt_\bi_\bm_\be format string in _\bL_\bF_\bM. _\bL_\bP_\bR defines where each
- label will be placed. If it is zero, the label will be placed right
- under the corresponding line (useful for hours, dates etcetera).
- If you specify a number of seconds here the label is centered on
- this interval (useful for Monday, January etcetera).

- is to automatically select sensible values.

- enough but not too many grid lines, and that the grid is metric.
- That is the grid lines are placed every 1, 2, 5 or 10 units. This
- parameter will also ensure that you get enough decimals displayed
- even if your graph goes from 69.998 to 70.001. (contributed by

+ Markup
+ All text in rrdtool is rendered using Pango markup. This means text
+ can contain embeded markup instructions. Simple html markup using
+
+ <span key="value">text</span>
+
+ can be used. Apart from the verbose syntax, there are also the fol-
+ lowing short tags available.
+
+ b Bold
+ big Makes font relatively larger, equivalent to <span size="larger">
+ i Italic
+ s Strikethrough
+ sub Subscript
+ sup Superscript
+ small Makes font relatively smaller, equivalent to <span size="smaller">
+ tt Monospace font
+ u Underline

+ Calling rrdtool with the graphv option will return information in the
+ rrdtool info format. On the command line this means that all output
+ will be in key=value format. When used from the perl and ruby bindings
+ a hash pointer will be returned from the call.
+
+ When the filename '-' is given, the contents of the graph itself will
+ also be returned through this interface (hash key 'image'). On the com-
+ mand line the output will look like this:
+
+ print[0] = "0.020833"
+ print[1] = "0.0440833"
+ graph_left = 51
+ graph_top = 22
+ graph_width = 400
+ graph_height = 100
+ image_width = 481
+ image_height = 154
+ value_min = 0.0000000000e+00
+ value_max = 4.0000000000e-02
+ image = BLOB_SIZE:8196
+ [... 8196 bytes of image data ...]
+
+ There is more information returned than in the standard interface.
+ Especially the 'graph_*' keys are new. They help applications that want
+ to know what is where on the graph.
