Got some C or Python?

I don't do Windows...  And I want this to auto-generate graphs for web
pages on RasPi's.  Lot's of RasPi's.  :-)

Yeah, that looks sorta like what I have.

Just the facts there, i can do that.

That's what I think I am looking for.

A bit of background.  Ntpd generates a number they call the Allan
Deviation, but the description looks like the Allan Variation, they
describe is as the minima in the Allan Deviation plot, when it has a U
shape.

They then use that number to set the PLL optimally.

Something looks fishy to me, so I want to visualize it, and help the
rest of the NTPsec team see it as well.
