Okay, I can understand the scaling as far as the positioning of the
pixels, but what about the rendering of the legend for the Y axis?

Why couldn't a 100x200 graph and a 100x400 graph of an average value show
the same legend to indicate the same relative values when the same period
of time and the same data is involved?

Maybe I need to re-read the docs on the data structure of the RRAs.
