Wind direction graph colours

Post by iandrews »

Speaking of graphs, I'm using v1.8.9 (910), if I shut down Cumulus and start it back up, after the first web upload the wind direction / average graph on the web site has blue crosses for wind direction and red dots for average. If I then go into graphs in the main program and look at the wind direction / average graph it shows red crosses for wind direction and blue dots for average (which I prefer). If I then force a web upload (or wait for the next automatic one), the web site then shows the red crosses for wind direction and blue dots for average.

I've had all kinds of trouble trying to get the colours to "stick" with that graph. If you explicitly set the colours the way you want them, does that work or not?

Haven't tried that as the colours were as I wanted them as soon as I looked at the graph in the main program, I will try tonight and let you know.

Steve, whilst you're in there fixing that, would it be possible to only show the average plots on the 'thumbnail' graph? Plotting both the instant and average directions makes the thumnail very hard to read with a 'waggy' FO wind vane :(

Very low priotiy request btw!

Completely different bit of code, actually ;)

But you're absolutely right, and I hadn't noticed that with my Davis station. I'll change it to just plot the average.
