If you _really_ need the true maxima for (A+B), you should be able to create a 
COMPUTE dataset to do so. But I've never played with COMPUTE datasets, so my 
knowledge is just from the man page.

You can fake it by graphing MAX(AVG(A) + AVG(B)), but you won't get true maxima. 
  It will be fairly close, though.
