Hi,
There a a couple of things you can do. Firstly though, you will find
details of the various config options for the image generator in the
[ImageGenerator] <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#[ImageGenerator]>
section of the Customization Guide <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm>.
In particular, the Various label options
<http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Various_label_options> section
covers most of the settings for the plot labels.
Now for getting some decent size labels. It could be a case of the fonts
that the SteelSeries skin uses for plots are not installed on your system
and WeeWX is using a PIL default. So it could be as simple as installing
the dejavu truetype font. I'm not sure of your Linux flavour but on a
Debian based system the following should work:
$ sudo apt-get install ttf-dejavu
If that does not work or you still want to change the font and/or size is
to up the font_size settings or change to a different font. What fonts you
have available will depend on your system. A bit of googling should help.
In terms of creating/changing config options there are a couple of ways you
can go. You can make changes to skins/ss/skin.conf, this will certainly
work; however, should there ever be a need to upgrade the SteelSeries skin
then you could lose your changes if skin.conf is overwritten. The other
alternative is to add your changes as an override in the [StdReport]
section of weewx.conf, the beauty here is that weewx.conf changes are
almost always preserved. For example, to change the bottom label font to
12pt FreeSerif truetype font you could put something like the following in
weewx.conf:
[StdReport]
....
[[SteelSeries]]
....
[[[ImageGenerator]]]
bottom_label_path = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSerif
.ttf
bottom_label_size = 12
The .... indicate other existing options, don't add them. This would apply
the font and size to all SteelSeries plots. Similarly, you can change the
corresponding settings in skins/ss/skin.conf:
[ImageGenerator]
....
bottom_label_font_path = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSerif.ttf
bottom_label_font_size = 12
Note in this case the [ImageGenerator] section and settings already exist, you
are just changing them.
