[rrd-users] Changing X-Axis

[j.halifax2 at seznam.cz]

Hi Francesco,


If you are dealing with efficiency, you probably need to visualize its values in time
moments of T = {t1, t2, ..., tn} in different levels of aggregations.

Say that you have one time series of the production P(ti) and another time series of 
the consumption C(ti). You can calculate the efficiency time series as E(ti) =  F(P(ti),
C(ti)), where i = (1, 2, ..., n). Here F(P(ti), C(ti)) can be for example P(ti) / C(ti) or any
other reasonable function of the production and consumption. 

If you can measure P(ti) and C(ti) in equidistant time moments (i.e. their periods of 
t(i) - t(i-1) are constant), you can generate nice graphs of development of Efficiency 
(which you are interesting in) in time.

Together with graphing P(ti) and C(ti), such graphs could tell your technology guys 
much about dependence of their efficiency on the production, consumption and even
help them disclosing energy loss in the grid including illegal consumption etc.

Isn't it what you would like?


Regards,
Leos
