Simple solution:

In the .cfg file set a width of 144 pixels (XSize[target]: 144).
The image that is generated at 6pm, and its html page, then show
the traffic from 6am to 6pm.  The averages also work on 6am to 6pm.

If necessary/desired you can modify a copy of the .cfg file and
let MRTG process this one at 6pm, in stead of the original one.


Not-so-simple-but-not-really-hard-yet-time-consuming solution:

Read the archives, this question has been posted not that long ago.
