[rrd-users] Can you use the graphed time interval in a CDEF function?

Those labels seem odd to me.  If you're measuring power at a point in
time, wouldn't that be in Kw, not Kwh (a unit of energy)?

I don't see why you'd want to depend on the time range of the graph.  If
your graph was 22 hours, wouldn't you still want to see Kwh/day and
therefore still multiply by 24?

If you do want the time range, I think you'd have to graph something
twice.  The first one doesn't have to have all the data, but you can get
the range info from it with graphv.  Then use that information to create
the second graph.
