Hi all,

I'd like to add an html page containing all data from the current week. Is there a simple way to generate past 7 days graphs ?

Many thanks
Season's greetings to all !

Could we expect a "last week" page with hi/lows in an upcoming version ?
I often refer to this page on wunderground which I find quite useful :
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/wxStationGraphAll?day=28&year=2006&month=1&ID=IVSOFXB1&type=2

It lacks VP plus sensors though...
I've discovered user custom images ability of wview, but I wonder if other people here would be interested by those graphs.
Thanks

This request does not seem to be very popular Smile

Am I the only one willing to get those kind of pictures with
the nice display of wview in bonus? (grabbed from wview's homepage)

I've rapidly investigated into user-images.conf and apparently, creating weekly
graphs would demand a big amount of work: timespan, weekly extrema, etc
have to be created since they are not part of wview.

Cheers

Hi Brice

I've been playing around with perl and MySQL and I've got a script which can produce graphs like this: http://www.scorpiocomputing.com/weather/imperial/file.png

It still needs a lot of work and it would need to be run as a cron job outside of wview but you're welcome to have a copy if it's any use to you.

Hi Jon

Very interesting ! Unfortunately I have not installed MySql so all
my previous weather data would be unusable...
But I'm very interested to get a copy of your files, it is exactly what
I need to set weekly graphs up.
Have you tried to build your own images from images-user.conf ?

Thanks,
Brice

If you install MySQL and build wview/radlib with MySQL support, all of your old WLK file data will be imported into the SQL table (as of release 3.0.0 I believe).

But, the big work with adding weekly historical charts is the adding of a historical category for "week". HILOW data which is currently computed (and used in the Almanac page) *does* support weekly extremes - but weekly in the last seven days sense, not current week (like the others do). Besides, HILOW weekly data is not critical to have weekly historical charts - the chart code figures out y-axis max and min based on the data points. But a new historical category does cause a bunch of code changes.

It's on the list, but I am not inclined to any big changes for a while - the dust needs to settle on station abstraction (and possibly additional station support).
