which is exactly my point.

But in the case of two CDPs per pixel column, one could just display both.
Problem worked around.

So the next issue comes up: how to display bit fields 65536, 32768, 16384,
8192, 4096, 2048, 1024, and 1, all in one graph of 100 pixels high? 
(notice how I am avoiding consolidating 8 CDPs at graph time)
