Yes.  So to give some background to explain what I'm looking for.  I work 
for a hosting company.  We'd like to graph daily bandwidth stats per 
domain we host.  So I have the data, now I would like to display to the 
user, you did 2gig on 09/02, 4gigs on 09/03, etc using a bar graph or line 
graph.

I believe this would work.  If that single bar can represent 4gigs of 
transfer on 09/02, that's all I need.

Not really sure.  I was hoping this example was easy and could explain to 
me exactly how rrd tool fits together.  Thanks for your help!
