If you lock the max value of the y-axis by using option yscale <http://www.weewx.com/docs/latest/customizing.htm#Plot_scaling_options>, then it is locked in. So, if you get more than 1", the cumulative plot will go off the graph.
One thing you can do in this situation is lock in the minimal interval size to something that allows you to see small amounts of rain, but let the minimum and maximum values float. If 0.1" is not working for you, try 0.05" *yscale = None, None, 0.05* Or, just remove option yscale and let the plot generator pick reasonable values. -tk On Tue, Aug 15, 2023 at 3:47 PM Dale <[email protected]> wrote: > I am playing with getting a cumulative graph of rain for an additional > plot. > > The problem is, we've been basically in a drought and at best get a few > one-hundredths (with one exception) when we do get rain, so I have no > way of watching what happens. > > > I have a plot which accumulates rain over the last 24 hours, and have > set the y-axis to 1.0" total, with markers at 0.1". > > What happens when we get a 1 or more inch rainfall in that time period? > Some graphs I've seen on other weather programs drop the cumulative line > back down to zero and start incrementing again.
