Legend Alignment

[brettb]

Ok, so I've read around on alignments, but the data on our graphs are always
changing. Please view:

I am having trouble aligning the averages under "Average" since the items
underneath "Limit Group" always change.

I am using a windows executable of RRDTool 1.2.27.

I have been thinking of adding white space dynamically based on the limit
groups text length, but that's just extra code if there is an easier
solution.

Thanks.

Nice graphs.

Too bad you blurred the data under `Limit Group' .... can you unblurr
it?  I was just dealing with legend alignment with my graphs this
morning.  I have them dialed in like I like them.

One key trick I used is the `printf' command at the shell.  This
allowed me to dial in the correct printf formatting string before
fiddling with the graph.

I'm sorry I cannot unblur the text there, all data is classified.

I'm actually making ok progress with this on my own now. I'm generating
these graphs through python and I'm appending a whitespace (\t) variable at
the end of the LINE depending on the length of the limit group items. It
seems to be working the way that I want as of right now. Is there any way I
can draw an underline under "Limit Group" and "Average" ?

I was reading in the tutorials that you can do underlines but I'm not sure
how to do this for a
self.FlagList.append ("COMMENT:\"Limit Group                 Average\c\"")


you can view it at:  http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/8997/alignhelp.jpg

code for white space:


for currentEntry in self.GraphEntries:
        #white space
        additionalTab = "\t"
        if len(currentEntry.Name) > 10:
                additionalTab = ""
       
        whitespace = "\t\t" + additionalTab


Then for each appended graph entry, I'm adding the whitespace to the end of
LINE's legend text to push the GPRINT over.

without controlling the white space, any entries under Limit Groups longer
than 10 characters shifts the average over by one extra tab.
