You would use, believe it or not, "rrdgraph" to do this...

I'm not quite clear, though, whether you mean that you want one average
and max (of both DSes) or an average and max of each DS.  Let's assume
you meant the latter and furthermore, lets assume you have both AVERAGE
and MAX RRAs within the RRD.  You could do this:

   rrdtool graph /dev/null \
   'DEF:A=dings.rrd:ds0:AVERAGE' \
   'DEF:B=dings.rrd:ds1:AVERAGE' \
   'DEF:C=dings.rrd:ds0:MAX' \
   'DEF:D=dings.rrd:ds1:MAX' \
   'PRINT:A:AVERAGE:ds0 ave ave=%.2lf' \
   'PRINT:B:AVERAGE:ds1 ave ave=%.2lf' \
   'PRINT:C:MAX:ds0 max max=%.2lf' \
   'PRINT:D:MAX:ds1 max max=%.2lf'

BTW, my RRGrapher front-end/utility (which you can find linked from
Tobi's site and is here http://net.doit.wisc.edu/~plonka/RRGrapher/)
produces an example command like this for you if you turn on its
"[ ] Show statistics using this format:  [ %.2lf ]" feature under
"Graph Options".
