The scale overlay is only one image....It had to be saved as a png file so that 
the transparency effect worked.  The scale was larger than the trend file in 
size so it made my website page twice as large to load.  imagemagick combined 
the two files as per the sizes below...

RRDtrend (22k) + Scale  (39k) = rob.png 34k

The scale was a pain if I wanted to adjust the actual alarm limits as I would 
have to modify the image to display.  Now I think I can combine just the 
vertical scale (shaded area) and write directly onto the image with the alarm 
limits that are set.  That way alarm limits can be dynamically set and 
displayed which is really cool  (I email on high / low alarm from a script).

I have uploaded just the scale

  I will look for some forums on imagemagick as I want to create a bar graph 
(outlined rectangle) whose fill level can change based upon an integer.  I 
notice it can also rotate, this feature should get circular dials and even 
arced gauges working.


Christian this is GREAT !  although not directly about owfs and the subject 
line is also bad for others.   I think we should gather this info under the 
owfs site re: visualisation....

cheers

  Nice image.

   

  Is it only two images you combined to that rob.png?  One rrdtool image and 
one handmade image with text+background?

  Visualisation of data onto a graphic display is now very easily achieved for 
me....I can now create a true SCADA / RTU application with rich graphic 
displays and trend overlays.  Thank you again for sharing this information with 
us and creating the packages for the various platforms.

   

  From the following link I think you will find that I am very happy with the 
outcome

  I just combine two images I already had as the test.  I used to have to use 
layers in my web page and had each image loaded into a layer with hide/show 
layer controls,however now can combine these into one image.  >From what I have 
found it is quite quick to combine these images ~4 seconds

   

  It took probably 5 minutes to finalise the combine command and work out how 
gravity works to create the image above...

  # convert -composite -gravity west -geometry +45-7 /website/ph1d.png 
/website/images/phscale.png /website/rob.png

  If you have any tips on control from a web page through cgi scripts into owfs 
that would be great.

   

  cheers
