Summarize your data into larger chunks than 5 minutes.

Some might do the summarization for you when they realize you are trying to
pack more data into an image than fits. I don't know of any that do that
offhand, and I question whether that would actually by better or not.

I don't think any modules will create a bar graph that is 800 pixels wide
yet has more than 800 bars side-by-side.
