RRD Graphs custom color selection
0%
Description
I'm sure I am not the only person that suffers from this problem but I am colorblind and a lot of the default colors in RRD Graph mash together making it hard for me to read certain graphs. It would be nice to have the ability to use a drop down menu to select custom colors in RRD Graphs.
Thanks for your time.

I ahve some problems with colorblindness and would find this equally helpful. Just give us a web-ui access to the colors being used and let us tweak them as they best suite our perception of color :)

We are changing the way RRD is being graphed by making it an interactive SVG using a popular javascript framework called D3.js.

This won't allow the colors to be customizable via a dropdown, but it is a large step in that direction. I aim to make the line colors more customizable in the future, but I can't promise anything at this point. That being said, the user will have the ability to select only the lines they wish to see, so that should help improve visibility issues greatly in the meantime.

After further thought, I am closing this because I don't think I'll be able to get a dropdown color option given the amount of work it would take. If the new RRD graph still isn't enough of a visual aid I can share instructions on the line to change to make custom colors in D3 (only caveat is it won't survive upgrades so will need to be reapplied).
