Hello Johan, Martin and Steve,

Thank you for your thoughts.
To make it more clear I've put the graphs and some data here: https://noc.lowvoice.nl/test/stats

I get the idea that the graph is made up of the datapoints aggregated for the needed pixel width. But for the VDEFs it should operate on the full dataset according to the docs: *"VDEF*instructions work on an entire data set in one run.", so pre-aggregation should not be needed. Pre aggregation, in the case of 95th percentile, causes problems. (pre aggregating datapoints as average and then getting the MAX is also a good example of why this should not happen).

I understand that you eventually lose resolution as a tradeoff between storage-space and accuracy, but I do not understand why VDEFS would choose not to use all the available data.

The 'step=300' trick, as suggested by you all and the 'use different DEFs & VDEFs for the graph part and the gprint part' as suggested by Steve, have no influence on my results as you can see on the above page.

Any additional thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards,
Marius Karthaus
