GPU Graph plugin for the Xfce4 panel. This plugin displays a real-time graph of Nvidia GPU usage over time, providing visual history of GPU utilization.

Features

• Real-time GPU Monitoring: Live graph showing GPU usage history
• Multi-GPU Support: Monitor GPU0 and GPU1 simultaneously
• nvidia-smi Integration: Uses nvidia-smi --query-gpu=utilization.gpu for accurate Nvidia GPU readings
• Configurable Colors: Customize colors for each GPU
• Tooltip Information: Hover to see current usage percentages
• Compact Display: Space-efficient graph in the panel
