[rrd-users] Re: (forw) [mat.harris at genestate.com: weird figures]

[Warnes, Jason SktnHR]

GPRINT shouldn't have any affect on the graphing exponents, so this one is a
loss for me.  I've used the --unit-exponent switch before with no problems
on Windows NT/2000/XP and Linux.  Mind you I've been using it with the
RRDTool Perl module and not right from the command line, but that shouldn't
make a difference.

i did have --units-eponent=1 but i changed it to 0 and it has made no
difference. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but my GPRINT
statements use sprintf-style formatting like:

GPRINT:b:LAST:"Current\: %8.2lf %s"
