v5.0.0 beta 3

Post by HansR »

Version 5 beta 3 for the Chart Compiler is online:
  1. Opacity has been added (for all GraphSpecifiers, but most important for the area of course)
  2. The Legend texts are now implemented as translations of the PlotKeywords (see below). You will find these in the translation file section [Compiler]. Legend entries can be multiple words (the keywords can not).
  3. Several larger and smaller changes have been made specifically to the axis which sometimes require small adjustments.
  4. And yes, the Rain chart has no floating zero line anymore if there is no rain to show
Keep coming with notes and improvements :D
If it won't be done in 5 it may go on the todo list.

It is getting better and better.

I get error message when I try Opacity:

Code: Select all

 Plot RainFall As Area colour #33B4FF opacity 0.6
Maybe there should be examples of all options in the description file?

The line works for me on its own and in various combinations with other lines.
Attached you find my current CutilsCharts.def (including your line).

And btw... I'd rather call them attributes iso options ;)

Yes, strange, I saved it and ran it straight away: no problem.
So I baked a new release beta3 patch 1.

This one also has the min/max barometer records as scale ends but that is the only change. As a result you see less fluctuation but it has more the effect of a normal barometer: you better see the rise/fall relative to what is normal. Let me know what you think.

If it remains erroneous, could you send me the logs and your language file with those added translations?

Hi Steinar,

Pfff.... I have been debugging the file in detail now.

I moved your rain line to the first position and then it started complaining about the PLOT Humidity line.
Debugging the keyword sequence showed in the end the following keyword string: "20\r\nEndChart\r\n\r\nChart".

This means that somewhere the white space escaping/separation of the keywords does not work. I don't know why this only occurs at the ENDCHART keyword because CRLF is all over the place when you are on Windows. Anyway, I solved it without fully understanding what caused it.

So I attach the release candidate and if you don't have any problem anymore (please confirm) then I will release later tonight (need to do some documentation).

Regards,

This is really weird. With me everything now is working on any def file I try so I am running out of options.
Could you send me the def file again, I'll start from the beginning...
I don't think the Ipad or Geany can be the cause but you never know.

Quite an environment to do debugging btw :D

But to prevent strange things: could you try the nano-editor maybe (I won't ask you to use vi ;) )

I am an old Unix guy. I know vi.

Now I edited the Rainfall (Nedbør) in vi. I deleted that paragraph and rewrote it.
Same error message:

Code: Select all

2021-02-28 18:47:43.040 Error Parsing User Charts Nedbør Exception: Input string was not in a correct format.
Then I edited cumuluscharts.txt and changed opacity from 1 to 0.6 and uploded the file with Filezilla.
That looks Ok.

Yes but because there was an error, the cumuluscharts.txt can't be a result of the compilation.
Could you send me this def file? It must be found

OK. I unpacked changed the extension and copied it to the RPi.

Then:

1) I compiled on Windows and copied the resulting cumuluscharts to the website: it had generated perfectly
2) I compiled on the RPi - complete CumulusUtils run - and that went OK as well with the resulting cumuluscharts copied to the website.

So for me, both of my testsituations (Win and Linux) worked (check the output on my site).
I attach a repackaging (only added the version line below the chart) of my working version and RC.
You can try it, if it does not work I think we better stop for now, I have no idea what the problem is.

I will make the release because from where I stand it is OK.

We will continue later.

Thanks for the effort.

If I remove the two words Opacity 0.6 from the def-file, it compiles.
I do not belive it is caused by editors or Linux/windows.

It is not a big thing. We will see later.
