Such graphs also reflect separate `user' and `system' portions.
If the `4' \*(CT is used to yield more than two cpus per line,
results will be further abridged eliminating the a) and b) elements.
However, that information is still reflected in the graph itself
assuming color is active or, if not, bars vs. blocks are being shown.

This command turns the `1' toggle \*F, thus showing individual
processors, and prints \*(PU and Memory results two abreast.
It requires a terminal with a minimum width of 80 columns.
If a terminal's width is decreased below the minimum while \*(We
is running, \*(We reverts to showing \*(PU and Memory results
on separate lines.
\ \ \ \fB4\fR\ \ :\fIDisplay-Multiple-Elements-Adjacent\fR toggle \fR
This \*(CT turns the `1' toggle \*F and shows multiple \*(PU and
Memory results on each line.
Each successive `4' key adds another \*(PU until again reverting
to separate lines for \*(PU and Memory results.
To avoid truncation when displaying detailed statistics,
as opposed to the graphic representations, a minimum width
of 165 columns would be required when the `4' toggle is \*O.
A maximum of 8 \*(PUs per line can be displayed in this manner.
However, data truncation may occur before reaching the maximum.
That is definitely true when displaying detailed statistics via
the `t' \*(CT since such data cannot be scaled like the graphic
representations.
If one wished to quickly exit adjacent mode without cycling all the
way to 8, simply use the `1' \*(CT.
