 I updated http://globe.rndm.de/canary/index-11349-trim-graphs.html so it
 now uses `[max(x_start), max(x_end)]`. If there's nothing wrong with it
 I'll close this issue, merge it and work on fixing #11349.

 > Regarding calculating the average: with sliders this is not an issue,
 because users will understand that the average is calculated for the full
 graph, not just for the currently visible part.  (And they sure wouldn't
 expect that the average gets updated when they use the slider.)

 Sounds reasonable.

 > But once you put these graphs into Globe-node which doesn't have sliders
 (IIUC), you should only include data in the averages that is displayed in
 the graph.  So, maybe leave it as is and put in a TODO note for Globe-
 node?

 Ok.
