Cumulus Support

I am just playing with some more new gauges (I must be obsessed with the them!).

You can see the experimental page here (with controls for changing some of the formats):
http://weather.wilmslowastro.com/gaugesB/gauges.htm

This is pure Javascript/HTML5/Canvas, no graphics other than the page background.

Note, that I have made no attempt to make this latest version work with IE8 or older yet, and I am still playing with it, so the page may break from time to time - refresh in 15 mins to see if I fix it!

Also this is running on my old laptop over my ADSL, which I also use for work, so things may be a bit slow if lots of you hit the page!

Those are really neat gauges.

Unfortunately I cannot make them work with IE8 or older as they use Canvas features that are not implemented in excanvas. I just found that they also use Canvas features that are not available on Palm WebOS either.

They look pretty good, Mark.

Works nicely on my Android phone (but slowly)
FF4 is struggling (missing 3 lower gauges, no live readings)

I have minified the code more aggressively and made some other changes that speed it up a bit. I'll look into the FF4 issue, thanks...

I get the following error in FF4:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "An invalid or illegal string was specified" code: "12" nsresult: "0x8053000c (NS_ERROR_DOM_SYNTAX_ERR)" location: "http://weather.wilmslowastro.com/gauges ... ies.min.js Line: 1"]

I had a quick look at line 1 in steelseries.min.js... and gave up

Ha! Steve the 'debug' version of the page with "un-minified" scripts is on "gaugesB.htm". I don't have FF installed at the mo, so if you could give me a clue I'll have a look!

The error is at line 851:

backgroundContext.rotate(rotationOffset + (threshold - minValue) * angleStep + HALF_PI);

The second time that line is executed, "threshold" is undefined. Hope that helps.

TA, I'll have a trace through the code, some else wrote it though so it may take a while...

Fixed - I hope, an uninitialised variable in my code

They seem to work fine now in FF 4 great job !

Yes, looks OK now in FF4

Mark, gauges display well in Firefox 3, Google Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer 9...

Thanks Ray - what no Safari?
Shame about excanvas and WebOS, wonder if they display OK on iPhone/iPad?
