Ah, yes -- the NOAA text reports. I has them. They are in /var/www/html/weewx/NOAA/ and are generated automagically.
It seems that the weeWX Image Generator really needs recode functionality (in SPSS parlance [I'm probably dating myself here.]) so that basic re-scaling, axis offsets, and the like could be achieved ad hoc by specifying the calculations to be done without storing the calculated values. Wouldn't it be neat if it were that simple? What I'd like to see is a graph, not a table of figures. I can deal with figures, but graphs are more compelling. Cumulative heating-degree days rises more rapidly in late spring than in early spring. Somewhere you come to "biofix," the first reliably detectable presence of adult male moths. This is usually specified as a date although it may just as well be the cumulative heating-degree days on that date. Consider a conventional timeline of degrees. You would place a horizontal line where cumulative heating-degree days crosses biofix. Then subsequent intersections of other degree lines with cumulative heating-degree days at various degree intervals above biofix indicate dates when repeated treatments for larva will be most effective. This is not date-controlled; it's degree-based. Of course, to appreciate how soon the days of treatment will come, you need to visualize how fast heating-degree days are accumulating. Hence, the need for a graph. I think this could be achieved by providing a background image for the chart (not the image) with the horizontal rules already in place and then scaling the plotted line to fit the static background. That shouldn't be too much of a stretch, unlike charting calculated values instead of stored values. Perhaps I'd be better off just to write a complete generator for this application. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
