I misspoke :( I was pulling the data every hour but it was kept available 
to WeeWx to read it for the entire hour, not just once per observation. I 
left it that way as I could not fix the plot gaps.

I adjusted for both sporadic observations to be available to WeeWx only 
once. WeeWx saves all the other data every 5 minutes. But now: graphs do 
not even show this lone data points. One is the temperature observation 
every hour (may be several hours) and the second is the sea temperature 
with 3 observations per day. Two different locations, separate computers 
and installations, no new data plots for these any of these observations. 
Everything else works as normal. Graphs are updated regularly.

My program places the data when it is available to pond.txt (at say 13th 
min). Leaves it to be read by WeeWx at 15th min and then my program removes 
the data at 18th min. The index page shows correctly the last existing 
observations. Hence, I believe data is correctly added into the database. 

As for pot: I am using line_gap_fraction. Docs are very brief. it is 
written:

... No line_gap_fraction specified ... to connect data points. The only 
thing I can do is to add:

line_gap_fraction = 0

and it seems to be ignored. No data points and nothing connected since I 
changed availability of the data from permanent to single observation only 
when the new one exists.

Another related question arose. WeeWx reads my data using pond.py. How, 
that I have started serving it empty fields, it logs a line:

pond: cannot read value: could not convert string to float

Data is prepared for pond.py and saved to pond.txt like this:

18,24.4 (both temps available)

or

,24.4   (no sea, only air)

or just a , (only comma in the pond.txt) when no data is to be read by the 
WeeWx.

Is that a problem? They are not logged as errors, but observation of a 
fact: no data to read.
