RRDTool legend label placement

Question

My titles in the right column are in the wrong place. Can anyone help me to correct?

COMMENT:'   ' \

GPRINT:kliensek:LAST:"    Legutóbbi\:%7.0lf%s" \

GPRINT:aktivkliensek:LAST:"Legutóbbi\:%7.0lf%s\n" \  
GPRINT:kliensek:MIN:"     Minimum\:%9.0lf%s" \  
COMMENT:"             " \  
GPRINT:kliensek:MIN:"     Minimum\:%9.0lf%s\n" \  
GPRINT:kliensek:MAX:"     Maximum\:%9.0lf%s" \  
GPRINT:aktivkliensek:MAX:"Maximum\:%9.0lf%s"

I can't position the last title in the right column to the left.

GPRINT:aktivkliensek:MAX:"Maximum\:%9.0lf%s"

Also in the right column, the first title

PRINT:kliensek:LAST:"     Legutóbbi\:%7.0lf%s"

is at the wrong place by 1 pixel. The minimum title only is OK.

You said you figured it out --- what was it? I have precisely the same problem (see http://www.cowlark.com/graphs/img_netstat.png). — David Given, Feb 04 '11 at 20:06

You could also use tabs and maybe switch to a more tabular presentation

                avg      min     max
   Line A        22       10      24
   Line B        23        8      30

Hope this helps

Can I ask how you get the colum headers? – klokop Mar 10 '16 at 09:42
use the COMMENT:... statement – Tobi Oetiker Mar 10 '16 at 21:51

Here are some things to try:

Add a newline (\n) at the end of your last line.
Remove the space from the beginning of your second "Minimum" label.
You have a line: COMMENT:' ' between the two LAST and two MIN statements; add that between your two MAX statements too (or get rid of it altogether)
Not related to the formatting - You have two entries for "kliensek:MIN" - is that intentional?

So you should have:

GPRINT:kliensek:LAST:" Legutóbbi\:%7.0lf%s" \
COMMENT:" " \
GPRINT:aktivkliensek:LAST:"Legutóbbi\:%7.0lf%s\n" \
GPRINT:kliensek:MIN:" Minimum\:%9.0lf%s" \
COMMENT:" " \
GPRINT:aktivkliensek:MIN:"Minimum\:%9.0lf%s\n" \
GPRINT:kliensek:MAX:" Maximum\:%9.0lf%s" \
COMMENT:" " \
GPRINT:aktivkliensek:MAX:"Maximum\:%9.0lf%s\n"
