I like seeing a month long habit consistency graph, but this usually overwrites most of the information on each agenda habit line unless the window is particularly wide. The attached patch adds a customizable option to place the graph. I'm using it now to place each habit's graph on a new line below the habit at `org-habit-graph-column'. It makes this sort of customization very simple, e.g.

 (setq org-habit-insert-graph-function
       (lambda (graph)
         (goto-char (point-at-eol))
         (insert "\n")
         (move-to-column org-habit-graph-column t)
         (insert graph)))

Would love to see it included in org-habit.

Thanks,
Nicholas Vollmer

Subject: [PATCH] habit: add custom option for placing consistency graph

* lisp/org-habit.el (org-habit-insert-consistency-graphs): Add
`org-habit-insert-graph-function' defcustom.

Allow user to control consistency graph placement with a customizable
function.  See `org-habit-insert-graph-function` docstring for an
example.
