By default, cricket create's RRA's for keeping the MAX (peaks) during a
period of time. Using these default RRA's, you can use the new cricket
(0.70) to generate MAX's.
Just set max=1 in a graph dictionary:
graph ifOutOctets
max = 1
You can also use maxcolor=color to define the color (if you want to
deviate from auto)
