Hey Tobi,
Oh my conclusion comes from the previous fix, which still works
perfectly,
and simply assigns glue = 0; regardless of the flags. If the glue
were
constant on each line, I would get great legend label alignment. And
I don't have to know the width of the graph.
In my case, I'm being lazy, and I'm not calculating any widths, or
the pixel
size of my legend strings, or anything, I'm just throwing fixed
length legend
labels at rrd_graph() and its doing what it can. I don't know if
the line
breaks, but because I'm always using the same size for the label,
padding it with spaces, rrd_graph will provide the same spacing
for the legends, and so everything gets lined up. Works great, as long
as there is no glue added.
If I put a \l at the end of every legend label, I get one label per
line.
So I'm all for "--align-legend=noglue" , or "--align-legend=no" :o)

Hi Carter,
what makes you say the glue is not applied correctly? what
happens is that the lines in the legend get justified when they are
broken across. The last line does not get justified since it is not
being broken across ...
what people normally do, is to end their lines with \l and they get
left-aligned.
what you want is to not have lines justified, but left-aligned even
when they are broken automatically ...
I guess I had been using LaTeX too much when I designed this ...

Hey Tobi,
Hmmmmm, well I'm not sure, it doesn't seem a natural solution,
in that if I was a novice user, I would be perplexed by the need
to use the option. I think the behavior that I'm really looking
for is
no alignment at all. Maybe "--align-legend=packed"?
The actual problem is that the "glue" is being applied incorrectly.
How about a global "--align-legend=noglue". Very esoteric, may
require a description of what glue is, but gets to the real issue.
Yes, I don't like the 'J' either.
Hope all is most excellent!!!!

Hi Carter,
I see the problem yes ... but I don;t like that implementation
with \J ... shouldn't this be done with a global option called
--align-legend=left

If you would like to see simple examples with graph definitions,
etc....
I can provide, so please send mail.
