I have done something like this in the Routers2 MRTG frontend.  The way I 
managed it was a little awkward, though.

You already have the X and Y sizes of the whole image; you also have the X and 
Y sizes of the graph part as you pass these as a parameter when calling 
rrd_graph.  

The sizes of the various margins depend on two things - your axis options 
passed to the function, and the version of RRDTool library you're using (the 
margin width changed in 1.3 slightly).  From these, you can deduce the pixel 
coordinate of the graph origin, and the righthand limit - and from this, the 
seconds-per-pixel count along the X-axis as well as the pixels-per-cdp.  I've 
found that I can be off by one or even 2 pixels under some circumstances, 
though, depending on browser and image size.

The extra values would definitely be useful for this sort of application, 
though if you rely on them, you're killing your backwards compatibility between 
RRDtool versions a bit.
