Gauge orientation

Post by Pierre83 »

Hello all,
May be it is possible to change gauge orientation but I don't know how ? To have North direction pointing to the North gauge indication.

I don't understand what you want the gauges to do. North is at the top - that's usual, isn't it? You want to change it to have North somewhere else?

I suspect he wants to show direction TO rather than FROM ie. 180 degree shift.

Yes, the north of the gauges are pointing to the top of the screen, that's usual.
My whish was to have the North of the gauge pointing to the real north direction regarding your situation. As I'm not familiar with meteo and its instruments, it was only a question.

But answering to beteljuice, yes, my eyes are looking toward the south while my software is indicating the direction of the north for the same direction.(180° : -))

Steve, thanks for your software.

It wouldn't be standard as the wind direction is always quoted as from the direction it originates from, not the direction it is going.
But, if that is what you want I guess the easiest way to do it would be to rotate your anemometer 180°.

Would that work :?: Yes, I think it would :?
