[Orca-users] Script to generate point in time Orca graphs

[David Michaels]

I've been using drraw, but trying to get it to replicate all the same 
graphs Orca makes is difficult.  It's not really designed for that--it's 
designed to show you a graph of portions of your data.  You can save 
templates, and I suppose if I put the time into it to create a template 
that matched my orcallator.cfg, I'd be in business, but that's quite a 
bit of work.

I'd be interested in trying out your script as an alternative.  How do 
you tell it what orcallator.cfg file to use?

One question I have already -- Date::Manip is the bomb, and its UnixDate 
or ParseDate functions can take about 100 different date/time formats 
(including english phrases like "2 days ago").  Have you considered 
using that for begin/end date parsing?  (note: your usage output shows 
one date format, but your examples show that it can also accept 
epoch-seconds).

Cheers!
