How to setup jpgraphs and wxgraphs

[arthurhh]

I am currently working on updating my present graphs page to a new template based package. http://tokoroa.dyndns.org/wxgraphs.php not displaying correctly at the moment while I work on the scripts.
once I finish the package you will be able to take the ZIP file unpack it, upload to your server and it will work (Of course there will be the obligatory change of a couple of variables in the config file) It will work for all carter lake metric template sites.

You can see the pages in development at http://tokoroa.dyndns.org/wxgraphs2.php#Solar I am currently up to Humidity.

I have yet to investigate the distribution of JPGraph within the archive I intend to make available, so there may be some install requirements for this yet.

As an adjunct I am also working on a higher resolution set of graphs for our local groups comparison page http://tokoroa.dyndns.org/wxcomparision.phpusing WD custom log files, giving graphs with 5 minute resolution instead of hours. We expect to have six stations in a area of about 20km sq soon, something of an achievement really for a town of 16,000.

My weather position, for me it is present the best data in the best understandable way, but having it as accurate as possible. I am not a storm chaser or even a over committed weather man, just a IT geek with an interest.

Wow! Thanks to the concise instructions, as well as looking over the previous posts, the graphs were setup in a jiffy.

Thank you!

I would like to ask though...

My 31 day avg wind dir plot is empty (as is Stuarts' here)

Is there an easy fix for this?


Thank you,

Although I don't use the last 31 Days Averaged Direction graph on my site, I have it on my test page, and mine is also all at 0 deg. Running my clientrawdaily.txt file through the TNET Weather Station's clientraw data parser, I see that the data fields 155 to 186 are all reading -0.0 deg. All other graphs seem to be running OK.

Has something changed in the clientrawdaily.txt format?

This has been fixed with the latest (37P-build 12) release.

I accidently deleted the jpgraph files from my web server whilst makimg some changes, no problem I thought as I still had the files stored on my pc. I uploaded them again but now have this error showing, see herehttp://www.weybourneweather.co.uk/wxcharts.php.
The ttf directory seems to have disappeared and I can't find it anywhere, can any one point me as to where to find these files, they are not on my local jpgraph file on my pc. I must have had it all sorted out before as the graphs were all working for the last year or so until my boo boo today

You can look in your windows folder to wherever the fonts are and grab a copy of aerial bold there.  You will have to name it to exactly what jpgraph is looking for and of course put it in a /ttf/ folder under your jpgraphs where it is looking for it.

Thanks for that, that did the trick. Don't understand why the fonts vanished  from the jpgraph folder in the first place but at least the graphs are working now 

[jmcmurry]

Good deal that it works now.  You must have added that folder and the fonts to the web copy but not to the copy on your hard drive.

I am having a problem with the last hour graphs on my website.

http://www.wrightwoodweather.com/wxjgraphs.php?wxj_span=hour

clientrawhour.txt is being uploaded every 5 minutes, and the graphs reflect the new incoming data, but the x-axis only changed hourly, and is an hour behind.  The axis will be labeled, for example, 7:00 to 8:00 from 8:00 until 9:00.  Then it will be labeled 8:00-9:00 until 10:00.

Any advice?

Thanks.

The way I understand the last hr to work is it shows the last whole hr from the previous hr. It's updated at :59min each hr.

[AK7V]

On mine, the graphed data is updating every 5 minutes but the x axis labels aren't changing.

[MadALwx]

I see it now.

Even though the data is updated every 5min for your clientrawhour, I think the code for the x-axis is hardset to show 10-20-30-40-50-59.

I'm going to fiddle w/ the combined last hr graph's x-axis.

I looked at the code and agree with your hardset conclusion, but when I look at Stuart/Broadstairs 60 min graphs they appear to show the correct minutes

[MadALwx]

Included w/ the wxgraphs are 'last 60min' (updated via clientrawextra-every 1min or so) and 'last hour' (clientrawhour updated :59min or whenever you set clientrawhour from the default). I think the time code for the 'last hour' script, 10-20-30,etc, are hard times.

The 60min graphs are temp, windspd, wind dir, and rain.
The last whole hour graphs are temp, windspd, wind dir, baro, solar, humidity, and rain.

I'm not sure what Stuart/jmcmurry others are using for x-axis time code for 60min graphs while getting temp, windspd, wind dir, baro, solar, humidity, and rain.
