I got tired of looking at rows of numbers in the diagnostics page on the NSS.  
There's now a [graph] link on the diagnostics that takes you to a line graph 
of the selected diagnostics category, rendered in stunning red on white.  I 
know you'd want to use a real graphics/math package to analyze the data, but 
this is useful for getting a quick visual read of what your node is doing.

I didn't use awt for the drawing and file conversion, because google has lead 
me to believe awt will fail on unix machines without X running, and I imagine 
that describes a good number of nodes in use right now, so I wrote the 
freenet.support.graph package which is a simple GDI for drawing lines on 
bitmaps and outputting them as files.

It's not quite done at this point but I figured I should get feedback now that 
it works somewhat, things that still need to be done include:

* more portable/nice file formats than windows bitmap and XBM, like png or 
uncompressed gif.
* the ability to view more than one graph at once, superimposed or 
side-by-side (short of creatively arranging browser windows)
* defaults that can be set in freenet.conf
* a form input for the graph dimensions on the graph page
* drawn alignment marks to make it easier to pick out values, only the edges 
are listed now
* better handling of discontinuities, infinities, and NaNs
