Colour block on graph legend

[stheologo]

Hi,

I have created a grapg template with a custom data query, that shows four different coloured lines on a graph. I have also created a legend showing min, ave and max values. The graph and legend work fine, but I cannot get the legend to show a little colour block t match the line. This is presnt in all the preconfigured graphs.
Any ideas???

Yep. The COMMENTs won't get any color, never. Please check, whether the Graph Item that produces the LINEx does have a non-empty "Title Format". Else post the DEBUG output for that Graph from Graph Management

This is the out put of the debug, I have also attached svreenshots of the graph outputs. I have had to write the coulour in the legend to match the lines.

RRDTool Says:
OK

Just want to add, I do not want the text/comment to have colour, but a little colour block in front of the text

[gandalf]

Please change the sequence of the Graph Items to read

LINE1:a#00FF00:"" \
GPRINTMAX:"(Green) Ch1-510Kbs Max\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINTAVERAGE:"Average\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINTMIN:"Min\:%8.2lf %s\n" \
LINE1:b#0000FF:"" \
GPRINTMAX:"(Blue) Ch2-1600Kbs Max\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINTAVERAGE:"Average\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINTMIN:"Min\:%8.2lf %s\n" \
LINE1:c#F5F800:"" \
GPRINT:c:MAX:"(Yellow) Ch3-1970Kbs Max\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINT:c:AVERAGE:"Average\:%8.2lf %s" \

Silly question, how do I do that. Do I redo the graph template or is there somewhere else I can change it??

[gandalf]

Please use the "up" and "down" arrows next to the graph items
Reinhard

[stheologo]

Made the change. Is there anything else I need to do, like get the graph to refresh, as there has ben no change

[gandalf]

Oops, yes. I suppose you will have to provide some text for those Graph Items providing the lines. I missed this when answering your post. I suppose this may have been all that was needed (e.g. shifting was not necessary)
Reinhard

[stheologo]

Done all the above.. but still do not get the little colour block???

[gandalf]

Please post your latest "rrdtool graph" command

But you haven't got any texts on the LINE1 graph items

... I suppose you will have to provide some text for those Graph Items providing the lines. ...

Edit the Graph Template. Then, please select the first Graph Item showing a LINE1. Provide a "Text Format". Repeat this for all LINE1 items
