do not understand x-axis labels of year-plots from Standard-skin

[Astrid]

Hello!

I am using 3.9.2 and the Standard-Skin.
I started with weewx this month.

If I look to the plots of the year the x-axis-labels are:

03/01 05/01 07/01 09/01 11/01 01/01 03/01

I do not understand this.

Normally I expect

03/19 05/19 07/19 09/09 11/09 01/00 03/00

How can I get this?

Regards, Astrid

Hi,

The default x-axis labels on the yearly plots are in month/day of month format. So the vertical line above a given month/day label represents a day of the year in time. So what you are seeing (reading from right to left (ie most recent to oldest)) is 1 March (2020), 1 January (2020), 1 November (2019) through to 1 March (2019). Seems normal to me. (though I must confess I the month/day format is all wrong to me :) )

Sorry but I don't understand, what do the two number represent? 03/19, 05/19, 07/19 seem to be March, May and July 2019 but then 09/09 and 11/09 - are these typos? Perhaps 2019? 01/00 and 03/00 - again more typos? are these meant to be 2020? If you want the plot to show month/year instead of day/month (or month/day) then you will need to change the x_label_format option for the yearly plots. You will find this in the Standard skin.conf under [ImageGenerator] [[year_images]]. Be aware though that you will then have, for example, 11/19 (November 2019) centred under the vertical line that is actually 1 November 2019 so your plot will be somewhat misleading time wise.

Hello!

Thanx but great great excuse...
Yes, it was typos... :(
Sorry...

It is standing:

03/01 05/01 07/01 09/01 11/01 01/01 03/01

but I expect:

03/19 05/19 07/19 09/19 11/19 01/20 03/20 -> month/last two numbers of the year

is this possible to get?
