[patch] Adaptive graphs

[Shmuma]

Hello,

sometimes we need to make screen with lot of graphs on it to make quick overview of bunch of servers' health. But if we make graph smaller than some size (200x100) it becomes very ugly (legend and labels take more that 50% of space). To solve this problem, I make graphs code a little smarter. Now it drop some graph's elements according to it's width and height.

There are three scale level supported: normal (usual graphs with all elements), medium (without axis X labels and reduced graph's title) and small (only graph and title). Samples are attached.

Patch is against 1.4.4.

Nice! thanks.


@devs

Hi,
I'm going to upgrade my current ZABBIX into ZABBIX 1.6. DOes this patch has been integrated into Pre 1.6.x (stable) or i need to run this patch separately?

TIA

this is a neccessary feature atm.
Indeed as long as theres no feature to include several hosts datas in one graph you need to handle with a lot of small graphs.

Gets my vote too! The details can take up too much space sometimes!

The patch cannot be easily integrated into 1.6. The feature will be implemented anyway, no ETA yet.

Hey, this (almost) solves my problem!!!

Hello!

Thank you for the patch code, looks great.

I just wanted to be able to change the legends all together and not even let them auto-scale..

I already have lots of multi-graph screens that are hard to read because of the legends.

Wanna think about that?
