Hi Steve,

Those rain graph inch scale increments look fine now, thanks. One comment I would make is the layout of the 6 small gauges in 'Graphs' could be laid out a bit more logical, as in ...

[ Wind Speed ] [Temperature ] [ Pressure ] [ Rainfall Rate ]
[Wind Direction] [ Temperature min/max] [ Rain Today] [ Daily Rain ]

Any chance you could add Internal Temperature + Internal Humidity to the above 'Graphs' line up as well as to the 'Select a Graph' please? This is the only thing I'm missing from EW and I suppose the above internal graphs might be of some use to those trying to keep an eye their fuel bills this winter.

As a matter of curiosity - Why does Cumulus's month start recording on the 08th? I thought it might be something to do with when I first started using it, but it seems everyones starts on the 08th.

The 'shutdown Cumulus' on Hibernate has worked 100% BTW

Mine starts on the 1st - as expected

I make that 8

The two at the bottom right are there because they're the daily ones, but I don't suppose there's really any reason why they should be together. Your suggested layout does group things together a bit better.

Not as things stand, because Cumulus doesn't actually log the internal data anywhere, so it can't plot it. I was going to wait until I had changed to using a database (which would log everything), but I can see that's going to be a very long way off as I spend 99% of my time now answering questions and 1% writing code. I can't think of any reason why I can't just add the internal data to the existing log entries, and thus make them available for select-a-graph.

You've lost me there completely, what makes you think it starts on the 8th?

8 it was, must learn how to count (or type)

The name of the data file Oct08log.txt - you have referred to the file name several times when replying to the quiries of others, so I (some how) got it into my head that the file started on the 08th of the month. I now see it means 2008

I'll get my coat!

Never mind, Harry, if I'd used a sensible naming scheme like 2008-10-log.txt that confusion wouldn't have arisen

Ive re gigged my page layouts similar to the thoughts above for a similar reason. Thats one of the major plus points of being able to play around with the templates in Cumulus, to suit yourself

Build 492 now available, which will start logging inside temperature and humidity to the data log files, so that they can now be plotted on select-a-graph. Also added outside humidity to select-a-graph.

Adding extra graphs to the standard set is quite a bit of work so will have to wait for now.
