Hello,

I am vey new to Weewx using the Sofaskin. Thanks to tk for this billiant software.

It is my first post and like to intoduce my self.

My name is Michael and the PWS Davis Pro with a WeatherLink IP is running in Thailand.
English is not my native language. Please forgive me my spelling errors and the grammar.

The past 14 days I was reading a lot here in the Forum. Most answers I got from the Weewx docu which is very good.
I did some changes using MySql, added rain rate grahs (the daily is not working at the moment, hopefully can sort it out today) and a lot of other
minor changes.

Now I am really struggeling to change the top label font size and the date format for all graphs.

Trying to change the top labe font size

[ImageGenerator]

 top_label_font_size = 16 # 12

and

[[[daybarometer]]]
   top_label_font_size = 16
  bottom_label_font_size = 16

     [[[[barometer]]]]

Nothing changed in my graphs.

The next point is the time format in the graphs. I prefer day / month / year

[[day_images]]
        x_label_format = %H:%M
        bottom_label_format = %d/%m/%y %H:%M
        time_length = 97200    # == 27 hours

It is working only for the index.html

I changed it also for the week images, month and year images. It took not place.
I reversed it back to


[[week_images]]
        x_label_format = %d
        bottom_label_format = %x/%X 
        time_length = 604800    # == 7 days
        aggregate_type = avg
        aggregate_interval = 3600

If I change the 
bottom_label_format = %x/%X  to bottom_label_format = %X/%x The changes take place from date/time to time/date.
My undestanding is:
%x/%X is the time format of the Linux server.

Why does this format not work
bottom_label_format = %d/%m/%y %H:%M for the weekly, monthly, yearly graphs?

My Weewx URL

http://www.bang-saray.org/weewx/

and below the skin.conf

Thanks in advance.
Michael

Hi,

No need to apologise for your English, seems pretty good to me!

The likely reason your are seeing changes come through on index.html and not week, month etc is that (by default) index.html displays plots that cover a 27 hour period and these plots are generated each report cycle. So your changes usually come through within a few minutes. On the other hand, the week, month and year plots are generated less often (week is hourly, month is 3 hourly and year is daily) and you may need to wait for up to an hour, 3 hours or a day respectively for these plots to pickup any changes. This is tied to the aggregate_period set for each plot, but that is another story.

It is likely your week, month and year plots will change in due course. Alternativel, if you don't want to wait you can force your week, month and year plots to be re-generated on the next report cycle by deleting the respective image files from your weeWX machine.

I am not sure about your font size issue, on first look it appears yours settings are correct.

Gary

Hello, Michael

I suspect the problem with font sizes may be related to your choice of font type.

If you look at your graphs, you will see that the degree sign is not being properly represented. You're getting:
Inline image 2
Take a look at the User's Guide on how to solve this problem. Because your system is not finding the font that you specified, it is substituting a default font, which may not have the ability to scale in size. 

However, that's just a theory! I could well be wrong and the problem is something else.

1.  Check that you have indented correctly at the start of the lines you have changed/inserted with the correct number of spaces
2.  Try and change time formats in units section
3.  Make sure that weewx.conf is not overriding changes made in the skin
4.  Check, as Tom suggested, that you are using a font which is actually installed.

Just to clarify a couple of Andrew's points:

Point 1. Indentation is critical in python code but is not critical in any weeWX config files. What is critical in a weeWX config file is consistency in the sections/sub-section use of square brackets. Indentation in a weeWX config file aids in readability and helps prevent sectioning errors but alone will not cause a problem.

Point 3. Date and time label formats used in the [Units] section of skin.conf apply to reports only (ie those documents generated by the Cheetah templating engine) and are not used in plots produced by the weeWX image generator. X-axis label formats and the bottom label formats (refer http://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Overall_options) are specified through the use of the x_label_format and bottom_label_format options respectively under the [ImageGenerator] section of skin.conf.

Thanks to all. Honestly I did not expect so many replys in a few hours.

@@ gjr80
Thats clear for me now and it is working. Thanks again!

You are right. The path to the fonts did not exist. I have changed it as your advice. The FreeMonoBold.ttf is available on the server in
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont I have changed the path in the skin.conf file and the funky symbol gone.

I waste hours and days to sort this 2 things out. Now fixed within 2 hours with your help. Much appreciated.

Cheers
Michael

Yes, Gary is right.  I actually have set the bottom label inside [[dayimages]], [[weekimages]] and [[yearimages]] - before the specific plots - rather than inside each specific plots.  Don't know if that makes any difference though
