Almost... See my other post of today for a picture of what I mean. 

RRDgraph allows us to draw with pixels < 1 in size (I actually use 0.8 in my
graphs). There's no such thing as half (or <1) a pixel in reality, but the
rendering process uses the number to do some special 'smoothing' (there's a
better term that won't pop up in my head) to make it visually look like a
thinner line. I am not sure if it would help to give the desired effect in
this case. If we could even generate the vertical lines that is which I so
much desire ;)
