I.e. something more than `foo.{a,b,c}.biz.{baz,boz}` where it's typically a bunch of, say, disk related things in one graph. Instead, the sort of thing I do when troubleshooting: I want memory usage *and* load *and* HTTP requests all in one graph so I don't have to scan between multiple images to see if stuff actually lines up or not.

This almost always requires juggling of the two Y-axis as well as scaling individual metrics so that between those two Y-axis, things all look good together instead of clobbering or being too small/large to be visible.

But see if there's any good low-hanging fruit here -- perhaps something that can pre-tickle Graphite to figure out how it *would* draw a given metric in the default parameters, even e.g. obtaining the raw data (ideally just max/min values, maybe mean too) and then use that to figure out the final arrangement.
