[hobbit] More Temperature Questions :-)

Thanks Henrik, as usual your advice worked like a charm.  I also changed 
the GPRINT statements to use tempf so the legend would be correct.  
Final version:


[temperature]
        FNPATTERN temperature.(.*).rrd
        TITLE Temperature
        YAXIS Fahrenheit
        DEF:p at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:temperature:AVERAGE
        CDEF:tempf at RRDIDX@=9,5,/,p at RRDIDX@,*,32,+
        LINE2:tempf at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@
        GPRINT:tempf at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)
        GPRINT:tempf at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
        GPRINT:tempf at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
        GPRINT:tempf at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

Thanks again!
