hi again:

    my problem arise with informs tables that have more that one columns of
names:

    (ex:           Host     Ip       Num_Connections   %Num_Connection)

    that graph paint always the first column, therefore the numeric results
dont appear very well. i submit an example of inform.

    about your solution, i worked with ReportParser and PloticusChartWriter
and i think how runs, but i have doubts:

            - how adds adds new attributes/elements to the report
specification XML format? i want adds new parameter of chart
                that indicates the name of column that i want to paint in
the graph.

            - moreover, this changes affects to others informs (like
sendmail what i uses like you define by default), doesnt it?

    thanks in advance

    agustin.
