Some Question about making Cumulus individual

Post by Bernd »

Hi,

Is there a possibility :

1) to change the dimensions of the pictures, graphs that Cumulus do create ?
The idea was for example to get bigger presentations into "trends".

2) to use pictures for the gauges that i made myself or to use different pictures that may be
someone else has created. May be there is already the possibilty to download them somewhere ?

3) to change the color of the thumbnails graphs into "trends" ?
(Because i have set my own colors for the lines into the full presentation of the Graphs and so
the thumbnail colors does not longer fit to the new color into the big presentaion)

4) to integrate the same "show historical" function like into Cumulus at my PC ?
( i do mean the function where i can select a time range to display historical datas)

5) to relabel the realtime windspeed gauge. Now its from 0 to 50 m/s, but at this speed
i will loose my house. :) And into average windspeed's the indicator doesn't move very much.


Thanks

Bernd

You can resize the large graph images on the internet settings screen. You can't resize any of the other images from within Cumulus, but of course you could carry out any sort of image processing you want with them on your web site.
2) to use pictures for the gauges that i made myself or to use different pictures that may be

Which gauges? The ones on the gauges.htm web page? The ones that aren't just 'grabbed' from Cumulus are created with javascript; you could hack the javascript to change them, or write your own.
3) to change the color of the thumbnails graphs into "trends" ?
(Because i have set my own colors for the lines into the full presentation of the Graphs and so

Not at the moment. I think there's already an enhancement request for this, but you could check and if there isn't, create one. To be honest I don't see me doing this in Cumulus 1 any time soon.
4) to integrate the same "show historical" function like into Cumulus at my PC ?
( i do mean the function where i can select a time range to display historical datas)
If you look around the forum, and in particular the 'website development' section you will see that some people are already doing this.
5) to relabel the realtime windspeed gauge. Now its from 0 to 50 m/s, but at this speed

Do you mean the Flash gauge on the gauges.htm page? That was just an experiment that I didn't get very far with and I don't propose to continue. I have said that I will make the source code available when I get time so that someone can improve it. But someone should really write a new one :)

I haven't tryed this, because i read into the forum that this should decrease the quality.
Now i tryed it and... wow.... no low quality, rather the opposite.
Thank you Steve for this tip, that was exactly what i wanted.
Additionaly i changed some values into the css and into the trendsT.htm and now i have a
really big and good graph presentation. :)
