<p>Excellent! I wondered if it might be rrdtool, which is why I posted OS and rrdtool version</p>

It turns out that the version used by xymon was not the version I thought - it was an even older one I had compiled way back when, rather than the newer version installed by yum. The older version didn't support the right-axis options! Doh! So I removed the compiled version, yum installed rrdtool-devel (which was missing) and reconfigured and recompiled xymon. Now right-axis works! (In multi-line format.)<br>

Starting at line 1068, you can see how other options work, such as --title, height, width, upperlimit & lowerlimit. I think you'd need to add something to the gdef_t struct and some handling in load_gdefs at line 314. Dunno what else.<br>
