3 feature requests; xscale and select plots and reorder plots

[William Garber]

please kind requests

xscale; could you add an option for xscale very similar to yscale.

I figure it would go in weewx/imagegenerator.py on line 169.

the only issue would be making sure it had sensible limits or warning.

select plots and reorder plots.

If there is already some way to do this, how?

Previously I reordered the #includes in /etc/weewx/skins/Seasons/index.html.templ

and commented some of them out.  This has changed in the latest version.

this is one of the new capabilities of the Seasons skin in weewx 4.6 

if you look in the skin.conf for Seasons, you will find a section called 'DisplayOptions'.  use the 'plot_groups' variable to indicate which plots should be show, and the order in which they should be shown.

note that you can do this directly in the skin.conf, and changes there do not require restart of weewx.  however, if you do it in weewx.conf (which does require restart of weewx) then you can take updates to the Seasons skin without having to re-apply your changes.

in the weewx.conf it would look like this:

[StdReport]

    [[SeasonsReport]]

        skin = Seasons

        enable = true

        [[[DisplayOptions]]]

            plot_groups = barometer, tempdew, wind

the names that you use in plot_groups must correspond with the plot names that are defined in the ImageGenerator section of the skin.conf.  for example, 'tempdew' corresponds to the 'daytempdew', 'weektempdew', 'monthtempdew', and 'yeartempdew' plots.
