def cactiStyle(requestContext, seriesList, system=None, units=None):
    """
    Takes a series list and modifies the aliases to provide column aligned
    output with Current, Max, and Min values in the style of cacti. Optionally
    takes a "system" value to apply unit formatting in the same style as the
    Y-axis, or a "unit" string to append an arbitrary unit suffix.
    NOTE: column alignment only works with monospace fonts such as terminus.

    Example::

        &target=cactiStyle(ganglia.*.net.bytes_out,"si")
