[rrd-users] displaying graphs which often overlap

[Aleksandr Pasechnik]

i'm not sure if this will help, but i'm currently plotting a number of graphs which have completely different y axes, but all the same x axes. i make sure there is no x axis text on any but the bottom most graph and give them all a transparent background. i then stack them all using imagemagick, producing a single image with three stacked graphs lined up in the time axis. you might be able to do the same for your three battery temperatures. also there are ways to create offsets in the graphed output which you might use to do it all in a single graph, though thats not really ideal for gauge type data: its not really additive.
