Select-A-Graph, grid bug?

Post by radelrama »

Hi,

I use a script to generate graph images every midnight and could manage a workaround for the following, so it's not very important, but fyi:

In Select-A-Graph window I did
1 set Pressure to "R"
2 untick "Right grid", leave "Left grid" ticked
3 set Colors
and Cumulus.ini from build 1032 or 1033 contains the options correctly.

I generate a Graph by ticking
1 Wind Speed
2 Inside Temp
3 Outside Temp
3 Rain Rate (no grid visible upto now?)
4 Pressure (right grid visible even though options say display only left grid!)
5 Update

Workaround:
When entering Select-A-Graph, untick "Left grid", tick "Left grid"; tick "Right grid", untick "Right grid", then it works...

Btw, Tab-Order in that window is not in a perfect order, but I seem to be the only one scripting through all those lovely options and no problem for me...

Looks like a bug in the (third party) charting component. My code definitely sets the left/right grid visible flags correctly.

I've noticed that the tabbing is sub-optimal on a few screens; I tidy bits up from time to time.

Actually, ignore that. I don't know my left from my right; the bug's in my code, fixed in the next build - thanks.

ok, very nice, you know, we're all human and not binary AT ALL!

It's kind of fascinating to program those binary machines. You think it should be like that and observing your code running, you're so many times coming to be point: Ok, didn't think of that, you're right binary mate, you just did what I told you to, so I'm the ONE :D ...

Anyway Steve, from my side being since over 20 years in that binary world, I really - really really - have to express my gratitude. Not only is your program - I'd say - MARVELLOUS/GENIOUS , but I DO estimate your work supporting it and answering quickly to any question.

No really, you're doing an excellent job!!!

I hope OTHERS are getting that and do support you by DONATING.

Steve, you're really there to help us and - for my humble being - THANK YOU!
