 Technically, you're right that you wouldn't add any information by
 plotting those "3 days" and "1 week" graphs.  But be sure to ask your
 users, I could imagine that a majority of those would find those graphs
 useful.

 > Also I have to point out that we shouldn't show any "No Data Available"
 image  for lost data and just show nothing instead. But it's another
 issue.

 Can't say, maybe ask your users, too.
