specify output format

[jaredcurtis]

Graphite supports multiple output formats as a administrator I should be able to specify the format I want my data displayed in. The list of formats can be found at http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/0.9.10/render_api.html#format.

It would be nice to specify the default in config/gdash.yaml. Having the ability to override the default at the graph level would be even nicer.

Possible DSL
title "CPU Usage"
vtitle "percent"
area :stacked
description "CPU Usage"
format :svg

presumably you're using the API? you can specify an output format when you call the url you can ask for a format:

% ruby -r rubygems -r graphite_graph -e 'p GraphiteGraph.new("basic.graph").url(:json)'

but per graph default might be interesting indeed

I'm actually not using the API just the DSL to create my various dashboards.
