RRDtool 1.2 you have to escape colons in COMMENT text in the same way you
have to escape them in B<*PRINT> commands by writing B<'\:'>.

Draw a vertical line at I<time>. Its color is composed from three
hexadecimal numbers specifying the rgb color components (00 is off, FF is
maximum) red, green and blue followed by an optional alpha. Optionally, a legend box and string is
printed in the legend section. I<time> may be a number or a variable
from a B<VDEF>. It is an error to use I<vname>s from B<DEF> or B<CDEF> here.
-Dashed lines can be drawn using the B<DASHED> modifier. See B<LINE> for more

Draw a horizontal line at I<value>. HRULE acts much like LINE except that
will have no effect on the scale of the graph. If a HRULE is outside the
graphing area it will just not be visible.

Draw a line of the specified width onto the graph. I<width> can be a
floating point number. If the color is not specified, the drawing is done
is stacked on top of the previous element which can be a B<LINE> or an
B<AREA>.
-The B<DASHED> modifier enables dashed line style. Without any further options
-a symmetric dashed line with a segment length of 5 pixels will be drawn.
-The dash pattern can be changed using the B<dashes> parameter, which can be
-followed by either one value or an even number (1, 2, 4, 6, ...) of positive
-values. Each value provides the length of alternate I<n_on> and I<n_off>
-portions of the stroke. The B<dash-offset> parameter specifies an I<offset>
-into the pattern at which the stroke begins.

When you do not specify a color, you cannot specify a legend. Should
you want to use STACK, use the "LINEx:<value>::STACK" form.
