Graphs and cumulus.ini

[GreenwoJ]

Hi folks,

I've just noticed that my trend graphs look pretty old compared with everyone elses

When I upgrade to each new version of Cumulus I select not to overwrite my custom web templates. I assumed the actual EXE was responsible for generating the graphs, but now I'm wondering about the INI file - do I need to manually add any new parameters to this when I upgrade to get new features?

Thanks for your assistance.

Chat soon.

Like you, I chose not to use the web templates available for installation with the beta versions, but I get the updated trend graphs. It's simple really - all you need to change is the way the trend graphs look in Cumulus.

Under the Configuration menu, open Display and you will see some settings for graphs. Enable Gradients and fiddle with the colours to get the gradients you want. There are some other neat things you can play with here.

Also, if you want, change the graph lines and colours to suit your tastes by under Graphs in the View menu.

Have fun,

Bob

Yes, if by "old" you mean in appearance, then I think you are looking at the graphs of those people testing the 1.9.1 beta version.

The only time you might need to edit the cumulus.ini file when you upgrade would be if I had introduced any settings which were 'ini-file only', but these are comparatively rare.

Thanks guys,

Yep, I'm probably looking at 191 sites - I seemed to remember reading somewhere about line widths on the graphs? The lines plotted on my site seem to be very thin.

I'll wait for 191 and see what damage I can do to my graphs then

Chat soon.
