Sean,

Great stuff!

Can you make a backup copy of the plots and then add the line

plot_min		0

to this plot and recreating the PNGs?  Let's see which plots look
better on the short time range ones (day through quarter) with a 0
plot minimum.

After we decide, I'll make the Subversion commit.

Best,
Blair
