Do you have a sample plot to show?

New plots are only generated with the .png's are deleted or there's
new data for Orca to load.  Otherwise, it'll save CPU time and won't
regenerate images.

Have you tried this?

I've been able to straighten out my image problems, but I still have one
more issue.
The graph I've attached shows the y_axis displaying what looks to be 10.0 -
26.0, when the log snippet shows between 29 thousand and 69 thousand
messages. Am I grabbing the wrong info in the graph?
The log has stayed the same, but I have changed the config file.
Let me know if you see any glaring mistakes.

Thank you!!
