All,

Just upgraded to 3.9.1. On suggestion from Gary I took the graphing styles from the seasons Skin to put into my Responsive Skin (https://darryn.capes-davis.com/2016/10/23/weewx-weather-software-responsive-skin/). The small issue was that the Axes labels (both X and Y) were offset by a pixel or two, with the bottom X axis label being cut off. Looking into it, weewx positions the labels based on their size, so I concluded that PIL (Pillow) must have had an issue. Checking it out (use command 'pip list') my pillow was at 2.3. So I went through the process to upgrade pillow to 5.4 which solved the issue.

NOTE: Upgrade to pillow was not straightforward. I encountered some issues so I include some links below which helped me across these two issues.



Regards

Darryn Capes-Davis

Thanks, Darryn,

Perhaps you could add your thoughts to our Troubleshooting Pillow wiki page?

Checked out the Wiki. If you follow it, including the uninstall and reinstall steps, all should be good. Nothing extra to add that I can see.

Do you think the two StackOverflow links would be useful?

I suppose so. It may reinforce what the wiki already says, but normally I don’t like to bloat Wikis.

 

Will add the links.
