+Similar to B<AREA>, except the area between the line and the x-axis will contain a gradient from color1 to color2.
 
-Note: When you stack on something that was I<unknown>, the whole

-instruction with B<IF> and B<UN> to do so.
+The I<height> parameter can create three different behaviors. If I<height> > 0, then the gradient is a fixed height, starting at the line going down. If I<height> < 0, then the gradient starts at fixed height above the x-axis, going down to the x-axis. If I<height> == 0, then the gradient goes from the line to x-axis.

+non-zero and not *UNKNOWN*. The I<fraction> argument specifies the length of
+the tick mark as a fraction of the y-axis; the default value is 0.1 (10% of

 Using this command B<RRDtool> will graph the following elements
 with the specified offset.  For instance, you can specify an

-week. Make sure to notify the viewer you did so...
-The offset will be valid until the next B<SHIFT> command, which
-can have an offset of zero to restore normal graphing.

+=head3 B<TEXTALIGN>B<:>{B<left>|B<right>|B<justified>|B<center>}

+Labels are placed below the graph. When they overflow to the left, they wrap

+argument list.

+
+B<Some notes on stacking>
+
+When stacking, an element is not placed above the X-axis but rather
+on top of the previous element.  There must be something to stack
+upon.
+
+You can use an B<invisible> LINE or AREA to stacked upon.
+
+An B<unknown> value makes the entire stack unknown from that moment on.
+You don't know where to begin (the unknown value) and therefore do
+not know where to end.
+
+If you want to make sure you will be displaying a certain variable,
+make sure never to stack upon the unknown value.  Use a CDEF instruction
+with B<IF> and B<UN> to do so.
+
+=head1 NOTES on legend arguments
+
+=head2 Escaping the colon
+
+A colon ':' in a I<legend> argument will mark the end of the
+legend. To enter a ':' as part of a legend, the colon must be escaped
+with a backslash '\:'.  Beware that many environments process
+backslashes themselves, so it may be necessary to write two
+backslashes in order to one being passed onto rrd_graph.
+
+=head2 String Formatting
+
+The text printed below the actual graph can be formatted by appending special
+escape characters at the end of a text. When ever such a character occurs,
+all pending text is pushed onto the graph according to the character
+specified.
+
+Valid markers are: B<\j> for justified, B<\l> for left aligned, B<\r> for
+right aligned, and B<\c> for centered. In the next section there is an
+example showing how to use centered formatting.
+
+B<\n> is a valid alias for B<\l> since incomplete parsing in earlier
+versions of RRDtool lead to this behavior and a number of people has been using it.
+
+Normally there are two space characters inserted between every two items
+printed into the graph. The space following a string can be suppressed by
+putting a B<\g> at the end of the string. The B<\g> also ignores any space
+inside the string if it is at the very end of the string. This can be used
+in connection with B<%s> to suppress empty unit strings.
+
+ GPRINT:a:MAX:%lf%s\g
+
+A special case is COMMENT:B<\s> which inserts some additional vertical space
+before placing the next row of legends.
+
+If you want to have left and right aligned legends on the same line use COMMENT:B<\u>
+to go one line back like this:
+
+ COMMENT:left\l
+ COMMENT:\u
+ COMMENT:right\r
+
+There is also a 'nop' control for situations where you want a string to
+actually end in a backslash character sequence B<\.>
 
-B<PART:>I<vname>B<#>I<rrggbb>[B<:>I<legend>]
+ COMMENT:OS\2\.
 
-Draw a part of pie. Pie parts will be concatenated, the first one

-The size of the part is defined by the value part of

-a number between 0 and 100, being a percentage.
-Providing wrong input will produce undefined results.
+When using a proportional font in your graph, the tab
+characters or the sequence B<\t> will line-up legend elements. Note that
+the tabs inserted are relative to the start of the current legend
+element!
+
+Since RRDtool 1.3 is using Pango for rending text, you can use Pango markup.
+Pango uses the xml B<span> tags for inline formatting instructions.:
+
+A simple example of a marked-up string might be: 
+
+ <span foreground="blue" size="x-large">Blue text</span> is <i>cool</i>!
+
+The complete list of attributes for the span tag (taken from the pango documentation):
+
+=over
+
+=item B<font_desc>
+
+A font description string, such as "Sans Italic 12"; note that any other span attributes will override this description. So if you have "Sans Italic" and also a style="normal" attribute, you will get Sans normal, not italic.
+
+=item B<font_family>
+
+A font family name
+
+=item B<face>
+
+Synonym for font_family
+
+=item B<size>
+
+Font size in 1024ths of a point, or one of the absolute sizes 'xx-small', 'x-small', 'small', 'medium', 'large', 'x-large', 'xx-large', or one of the relative sizes 'smaller' or 'larger'. If you want to specify a absolute size, it's usually easier to take advantage of the ability to specify a partial font description using 'font_desc'; you can use font_desc='12.5' rather than size='12800'.
