I'm sort of half-working on a wind data grapher for my weather station (see http://bronc.blueaspen.com/weather.html). The graph will be in the form of a circle. Each wind reading will be represented by a point on that circle. The distance from the center circle will represent the wind velocity and the wind direction will be indicated by the "bearing" of the point. In other words, a northerly wind of 3 miles per hour will be represented by a dot that is three units from the center of the circle on an imaginary line from the center of the circle to the very top of the circle (ie., north). Ideally, my grapher will pull data from an RRD file (GAUGE format). On a side note, I've been pondering the possibility of implementing some alternate charting styles for RRDtool. I think bar charts, pie charts, and scatter plots would be nice to have. Thoughts?
