Thomas,

I'd suggest using four DS:

(1) PV 0700-1900
(2) PV 1900-0700
(3) Supply 0700-1900
(4) Supply 1900-0700

When updating the RRD between 0700-1900, record the values in the DS's
for (1) and (3), recording zeroes as values for the other two DS'es.
And, vice versa when the time is between 1900-0700. Make sure to record
zeroes and not unknown ("U").

Then, you can graph all four DS'es, each with their own colors.
