decent rrdtool tutorials?

Can anyone recommend a decent tutorial for how to use rrdtool? I can't seem to find any good ones, they either go into too many unrelevant details, or not enough details at explaining what the values mean.

All I want to do is take a series of data that has a unix time stamp, put it in, and graph it between specific times. Can't seem to find a tutorial that properly explains how to do this.

I have a program I've been working on that monitors my network/home and currently it just outputs the values to a very long text file, but I want to modify it so it rolls up the data and graphs it. Even thinking of writing my own png library and having my app do it directly (done this before but the png library I used was very buggy, don't want to use it again) but if I can just figure out rrdtool it will be simpler.
