possible feature request: add carriager returns to labels

Post by Banty Rooster »

Maybe this is already possible and I just can't figure it out. I would like to be able to add data formatted with carriage returns into the label field.

If you are talking about the 'Name' field, this is not possible.

It is a limitation of rrdtool.

Oops, noticed this was in Network Weather Map - ignore....

This would be excellent! Making a Key for how to read the weathermap would be a lot easier if this were possible.

This is already on my todo list. Parts of the code will even interpret \n.

I think I got sidetracked when I realised I needed to work out bounding boxes on angled, multi-line text (LABELANGLE), and never got back to it.

There's a similar request for \t too, and some kind of text justification.

I'll try and get back to these for 0.98, once 0.97a is out of the way.
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.
(Let me know if you have UK DevOps or Network Ops opportunities, too!)
