Ahh, okay. Thanks.  I tried re-creating the same graphs using the MAX
values and the graphs appeared to be similar.

Is there any way I can have rrdtool not perform this relative scaling?  My
original idea of the smaller graphs was to be able to put two graphs next
to each other for a quick overview before the user scrolled down to the
more detailed graphs.
