Well, I did not know how to use the invisible part...it seems nice for
my purpose also.  I think one of the advantage of RANGE function is that
it could shorten the command line. 

Here's an example.  To make a graph like
        http://rodem.ingrid.org:8080/shimizu/a.png
requires following commands.

rrdtool graph a.png \
        DEF:val1=waseda.rrd:util:MAX \
        DEF:val2=waseda.rrd:util:MIN \
        DEF:val3=waseda.rrd:util:AVERAGE  \
        CDEF:val4=val1,val2,- \
        CDEF:val5=val3,val2,- \ 
        AREA:val2 STACK:val4#00EE00 \
        AREA:val2 STACK:val5#E000E0

where the same graph could be generated using RANGE function
like this.

rrdtool graph b.png \
        DEF:val1=waseda.rrd:util:MAX \
        DEF:val2=waseda.rrd:util:MIN \
        DEF:val3=waseda.rrd:util:AVERAGE  \
        RANGE:val2,val1#00EE00 \
        RANGE:val2,val3#E000E0 

Isn't it much straightforward? 

Thanks,
Susumu
