This is something that I'm going to try to implement as a feature for
Bronc some day.  Bronc's Grapher module is what makes the call to RRDtool
to generate the graph.  This module gets its instructions from the URL,
called within an HTML "IMG" tag (see the images on the Bronc homepage for
more info on this).  I was thinking about a Javascript front-end that
allowed a user to specify targets, time periods, graph colors, legends,
etc.  The Javascript would take the user's selections ("I want a graph of
<click>this router's traffic and <click>this router's traffic and I want
them colored...") and form an IMG tage based on these selections.  The
Javascript would refresh the image as each modification to the parameters
was made.
