Jeff Moe set up MRTG (Multi-Router Traffic Grapher) to do just this.
With MRTG, you get daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly resolution
graphs (any of which you can discard if you desire).  Check out
freshmeat.net for it, or if you're running KRUD it comes on the
CD.

MRTG uses the "gd" graphics library to do the low-level graphing.
