Howdy,

Adding to what Tobi said, yes GAUGE has no issues with negative
values.  Below is an excerpt of my RRD creation.  I think the metrics
are obvious.  :)

   rrdtool create $GENERAL_FILE --step $COLLECTION_INTERVAL_5M \
      DS:temperature:GAUGE:$UNKNOWN_5M:-90:80 \
      DS:humidity:GAUGE:$UNKNOWN_5M:0:100 \
      DS:barometer:GAUGE:$UNKNOWN_5M:700:1050 \
      DS:daily_rain:GAUGE:$UNKNOWN_5M:0:1000 \
      DS:wind_chill:GAUGE:$UNKNOWN_5M:-100:1.67 \
      DS:humidex:GAUGE:$UNKNOWN_5M:9:80 \
      DS:dew_point:GAUGE:$UNKNOWN_5M:-100:80 \

Cheers,
