[drraw-users] Y-axis values are off

[michael]

Thanks for your response Christophe, it appears cricket is collecting 
the data just as you suspected.

I would like to be able to create graphs from cricket's rrds, so I do 
not want to alter the way cricket collects data.

How can I display this data correctly with drraw?
