RRD won't currently interpolate a smooth line beween your points.
You can get the data out of rrd using 'rrdtool fetch' and plot the
data using a more general plotting tool like gnuplot.  BTW it might
cause some confusion when your smoothed graph is presented.  People
may try to use an interpolated value between two datapoints as if
it represented real data.

IMHO The square graph is more representative of what the data
represents.
