Wind direction

Post by The QCC »

Hello:

Cumulus is working fine at the moment. Just one question:
In the Graphs window, why is the mini Wind Direction graph grey sometimes and not other times?
The other mini graphs have a white background.

Steve:

The Cumulus version is 1.9.2 build 1006.

This is what the wind direction graph looks like.

Is there a setting to set North as the centre axis?
Use bearing zero when calm is selected.

It seems to be an issue with the chart component itself, so I am unable to do anything about it. It seems to only occur when you set the background to 'non-gradient' white, and occurs randomly as far as I can tell. As a work-around you could try setting it to a gradient with all three colours set to white.

"Use South for wind dir origin" in the display settings.
