Comment (by karsten):

 So, your first variant displays `[min(x_start), max(x_end)]`.

 And your second variant shows `[max(x_start), min(x_end)]`, right?

 I think the first variant has the downside that there are missing values
 to the left, which might confuse relay/bridge operators, because their
 relay/bridge operator was running and submitting data at that time.  This
 is probably not as bad with missing values to the right, because operators
 understand more quickly that their relay/bridge did not report that
 specific type of data to display yet.

 Your second variant indeed has the problem that the displayed period does
 not match what the user selected.

 How about a mix of the two: `[max(x_start), max(x_end)]`?

 Those graphs will cover the selected period (under the assumption that the
 relay/bridge was running long enough), and it will only have missing
 values to the right.

 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.)  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?
