How to publish latest.bmp to the website ?

I’m pretty sure I read an interesting post that explain how to capture, resize and upload using WD the wxsim latest.bmp graphs image.

I’m now unable to find it #-o

Any help appreciated, thanks!

The way I do it is to use it as the background to a custom screen then I add the date & time tags. When I re-size the window I’m able to cut off the extra black area that I don’t want. I end up with a nice looking graphic and a greatly reduced file size. You can see it at the bottom of this page:

Thanks for your reply,
Following your instruction I also added the wxsim graph image to my forecast page.

Last question is how you set the customscreen update frequency, currently at 1min (the longest time available).

Mario,

When you have that custom screen open for editing, right click and there’s a big menu with an option to set the creation and upload times. I manually set mine to upload the 4 times per day that I needed.

Done! :smiley:

I setup the creation/upload time the same as plaintext.txt upload. Forecast and graph image upload happen at the same time.

Thanks again for help me :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
