So, I am assuming this works because a line won't be drawn if the
value is UNKN. However, wouldn't you still get 2 legends - a red one
and a green one? I probably made my example a little bit too simple,
so I will explain what I am trying to achieve.

I have 32 routers and I am polling the total power usage to plot on a
graph - this results in 32 lines on my graph which makes it hard to
see each router on the graph. However, I am using the legend colour to
alert the user for when the power usage is over 2100 w for a router.

I have uploaded my current graph as an example: http://netnix.org/power-1d.png

In the graph, when a MAX value is over 2100 then I want the line to
turn red and show a red legend so it can easily been seen by the user.

Thanks,
Chris
