Tobi, ok, I guess I wasn't precise enough. And I remebered it wrong (sorry Martin) It doesn't seem possible to used left *and* right alignment in one line. Example: I'd like to add a timestamp in this graph rightbound in *the same line* with the legend: see http://mail.ficos.de/rrdtool/test0.png rrdtool graph $1 \ --interlaced \ --units-length=12 \ --imgformat=PNG \ --start=1227782280 \ --end=1227783360 \ --base=1000 \ --width=600 \ --height=100 \ --upper-limit=100 \ --lower-limit=0 \ --rigid \ --title="CPU stats" \ DEF:iowait=Proc.rrd:iowait:AVERAGE \ DEF:softrq=Proc.rrd:softrq:AVERAGE \ DEF:irq=Proc.rrd:irq:AVERAGE \ DEF:system=Proc.rrd:system:AVERAGE \ DEF:nice=Proc.rrd:nice:AVERAGE \ DEF:user=Proc.rrd:user:AVERAGE \ DEF:idle=Proc.rrd:idle:AVERAGE \ CDEF:ciowait=iowait,4,/ \ CDEF:cirq=irq,4,/ \ CDEF:csoftrq=softrq,4,/ \ CDEF:csystem=system,4,/ \ CDEF:cnice=nice,4,/ \ CDEF:cuser=user,4,/ \ CDEF:cidle=idle,4,/ \ AREA:ciowait#f00000:iowait \ AREA:cirq#808000:irq:STACK \ AREA:csoftrq#803000:softrq:STACK \ AREA:csystem#80f000:system:STACK \ AREA:cnice#000030:nice:STACK \ AREA:cuser#0000f0:user:STACK So I added: "COMMENT: Date\: $(date "+%F %T" | sed 's/:/\\:/g')\r" which leads to: http://mail.ficos.de/rrdtool/test1.png (entire line right bound) If I now change the last line above to "AREA:cuser#0000f0:user\l:STACK" \ which leads to: http://mail.ficos.de/rrdtool/test2.png So now the legend is left-bound and the timestamp is right-bound, however, on two different lines ... ??? - Karl _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
