improve readability of daily charts - Seasons skin

[Steve M]

I'm just getting started with WeeWx 3.9.2 using the Seasons skin.  I got it running well, but the Daily History Charts are almost unreadable because the chart points are widely separated dots.  The Week, Month, Year charts have enough points plotted together to be easily visible.

I've tried been trying to correct in the the skins.conf file with limited success. I tried changing the marker_type from "none" to the other choices, but that produces a readable but ugly chart. What can I do to get a readable line chart, as I've seen in examples in developer discussions of the seasons skin?  I've attached an example of my graph. 

Also where can I adjust the frequency of web page updates?  I've seen discussions of Archive Interval, and report-timing, but can't find where hthey are set or can be adjusted.

I'm running on a Rasbperry Pi 3, with LXQT window manager.

Thanks,

Steve

I realized I didn't post an image of the default Daily charts, showing the almost unreadable chart points.  Attaching another image of this.

Did you check out this link: http://www.weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#dots_in_plots

Thanks, Rich.  I hadn't found that doc.  I've applied that change, and I'll check the data in the morning.

Lets see what happens

Rich,

I changed the Archive interval from the default of 30 minutes to 10 minutes using wee_device, which then produced the intended line chart, instead of the separate dots the 30 minute archive interval produced. I also changed the line width in the skin.conf file from 5 to 1.  That produces a very nice graph. I'm satisfied with the results for now.....

Thanks for the pointer to the solution.
