Windrose with weewx 4.7.0

[pravee...@gmail.com]

Hi,

After updating to weewx 4.7.0 I see that the images are included in index.html.templ based on plot_groups and hence wind rose is gone. Can anyone guide me in helping how to get it back? I do see that windrose is still getting generated. One way is to hack to index.html.templ to include it I guess.

Regards,

Praveen

Hello,

By "windrose", I assume you mean the progressive vector diagram? If so, it should be included if the keyword 'windvec' is included in plot_groups. Take a look in the Season's configuration file, Seasons/skin.conf. Look for option "plot_groups" (somewhere around line 77) and see if 'windvec' is in there.

Ah! That's not part of WeeWX. You'd have to ask the extension author.

Okay. Created a issue under the extension. The last issue I created under that extension got no reply. So I doubt this will get either.

Any plan to support a native StackedWindRose plot_type? That would avoid need for extension.

Also, any plan to support HighCharts based plots instead of png natively in the Seasons skin?

We have talked about developing a Javascript-based skin, although it's more likely to use Chart.js than Highcharts because of its open-source pedigree. 

However, to make it bombproof and easy to install is not an easy task.

Try Belchertown as another alternative.  It has both features you're looking for.

I would echo that trying the Belchertown skin might have your needs filled.

I loaded it as a try a few months ago and was pleasantly surprised how quickly I got it set up, did a wee bit of customization without goofing things up and presents yet another view of weather.

In addition to having some slightly different tools to display the same info, designers have their own artistic take on what things look very classy.

The nice thing about the WeeWx design as I see it is that the original program allowed for just this, alternative views after the core program does all the hard work.  The gracious openness of WeeWx allows those with the talent to do so to interconnect with the basic collection and storage.

To answer the original question, unfortunately the self configuring plot feature is limited to plots generated by the WeeWX image generator (ImageGenerator) only. I have a plan for how to expand that feature to include any image generator (provided it uses a similar skin config to the WeeWX image generator) which will allow inclusion of the stacked wind rose image plot in a similar manner to the other plots. However,  any such changes will not appear until WeeWX v4.7.1 at the earliest. In the meantime if you want to display the stacked wind rose on a 4.7.0 Seasons page you will need to manually insert the appropriate HTML in the applicable template.

And I don't consider it hacking, but rather customisation of the template :)  Skins were made to be customised.

Thanks Gary.

Vince, I love the graphs of belchertown but dont like how much display space the skin takes up - purely a personal preference. I need to keep scrolling it to see it on my mobile whereas with Seasons I can see everything on the screen. So basically what I am looking for is a mix of the two skins :)
