It might be interesting to do that, but that eliminates a lot of color
space that I'd have for the remainder of the lines.  I'm assuming you're
suggesting using an AREA to increase visibility - trust me, with this
data, even a single line is pretty durned visible :-).  As it is, I have
it dynamically use a HSV color space transition to evenly pick out colors
based on the number of elements being drawn (with that many lines, it
became neccesary to have any chance at all of matching a line to the
legend).

Alas :-(  the data itself is pretty sensitive stuff to the company I work
for.  Given how much I'm using RRD, it's a bit of a shame.
