"Dark Skin" missed the last compilation. Needs to be fixed

Hi,
Help needed in getting Cmake to include data/image/recource.rc file into the Windows build so that the xyGrib_32.ico is included in the executable.

Google did not turn up anything useful up to now.

Thanks,
David

As part of cleaning up the source and removing unused / less needed elements, meteo blue functionality can be removed.

... any takers?

There has been a name change to the application under the new team. This mainly as the zyGrib.org domain has not been transferred and will continue to host the original grib server.

Does anyone have this "Server Problem" issue with new Grib downloader?
I had no problem before this morning...

On first installation running the app initially brings up the language dialog window only. It is small and tends to get hidden behind other windows leaving the user to wonder what' up.

It need to have a top window property set.

libopenjp2 sends jpeg2000 debugging messages to the console whenever jpeg2000 compression is unpacked. This can be seen on all Arome gribs from Meteo France (try the SP1 files). Jpeg2000 will also be used on wave data in our grib server with the next release.

Does anyone have an idea how to stop this output?

This is a dead resource. The plan is to replace it (following release) with overlays of geo-referenced Radio Fax resources.

Help requested to remove Fleet Code IAC stuff carefully.

Adding a XyGrib.desktop file would allow it to show up in menus and would increase OS integration.

The analysis appears to be getting current data but the 24hr forecast options is getting the same data which is not related to the current date.

Hi,
I noticed a difference in wind speed/direction between grib files from Arpege model generated from XyGrib's server and the one generated from MeteoFrance's server. It is not a big difference, the overall wind forecast is closed, but there is some difference from 20NM approximately. Any idea why, as it should come from the same source?

XyGrib's server:

MeteoFrance's server:

Another point: MeteoFrance's Arpege use a resolution of 0,1° at maximum and we can only select 0,5° in XyGrib's downloader module. Any idea why?

Not been able to replicate but it seems that after requesting several downloads with a "stop" then performing another download the "download error flag" is set on and the grib will not open.
After restarting the application the same grib opens without any errors. (File open).

Anyone wish to try and replicate this?

ICON and ARPEGE use geopotential GP for altitude data while GFS uses geopotential height HGT.
Need to handle GP and translate it to HGT for use in altitude data viewing

Please don't put the AppImage into another archive.

Thanks.

This is a good place to feedback issues regarding the 8.1.0 beta version until a new site and forum get underway.

The package libjasper-dev is no more available in recent distro of ubuntu : https://pkgs.org/download/libjasper-dev.

We have to find a solution (or include the packages in the XyGrib source or explain how to install it, as it has dependancies not valid with 17.10 and 18.04).

I may not be able to find a solution within the next few weeks.

Normalization to 3hr accumulation instead of 0-3,0-6,.... appears now to have being applied twice. Once in the Grib server and once internally in grib_record translation method (or elsewhere).

Needs to be identified and fixed

The updateFonts method in MenuBar class (line 458) is only iterating and setting font to the top items in the menu bar and not to submenus.
This issue replaces issue #39

void MenuBar::updateFonts ()
{
	cbDatesGrib->setFont (Font::getFont(FONT_ComboBox));
	
	QFont ft = Font::getFont(FONT_MenuBar);
	this->setFont(ft);
	QList<QAction *> lsactions = this->findChildren<QAction *>();
	for (int i = 0; i < lsactions.size(); ++i) {
		lsactions.at(i)->setFont(ft);
	}
	
}

Help in fixing this is most welcome

• Is there any reason to change the name of the software from zyGrib to XyGrib? I think this could be easier to stick to the original name as I am pretty sure many people will get lost by the name change and will stay with the old version of zyGrib

• If there is a good reason to change the name, please stay consistant. Sometimes it is XyGrib, sometime xyGrib. I would rather choose xyGrib, closer to the original name. The same in the source files.

• What are the next milestones to achieve? What major upgrade should be done? I think a roadmap would help for other people to contribute.

• Who is the team behind this new fork?

The principle addition intended for next version (1.2.0) is to add 5 wide area regional models with resolutions near 0.1 degree (medium resolution). These will include:

• NAM Caribbean and Central America
• NAM Continental US
• NAM Hawai
• Arpege 0.1 (Europe)
• ICON-EU nest (Europe)

New functionality needed:
To handle these non global models we will need to visually indicate to the user where the coverage of the selected model is. We also will need to ensure that the selection is not outside the coverage. This will need some graphic overlay. We will need to decide on the UI flow for this.

A second issue is map projection. NAM CONUS uses Lamberth Conformal instead of Lat/Lon. I prefer not to re-project in pre-processing for the grib server but to be able to handle as much as possible in native form.

What is the best way to handle this? Are there issues that I'm missing ? Please raise them

David

On restart or on changing grib files the isobars are no longer shown although the menu selector shows them to be on.
Clicking the selector off and then on resets the isobars.

The issue my be related to setting and getting application settings.

Help is welcome!

We can select 0,25° resolution for the ARPEGE model:

But we get the data from the 0,5° resolution:

Any idea?

Hi,
I really like the new GRIB downloader.
One issue I noticed is that I do not get any wave data info on any model (ARPEGE, ICON, GFS)...
Any idea?

Bug report was posted on opengribs forum

I can replicate the bug that appears to relate to the Data Board and the Meteo Table. The isothem 0°C line labels are expressed correctly in feet.

I have tried to write a litle script to ease the upgrade of XyGrib.
It is still not completety tested.
I have a problem with :
dpkg -s XyGrib|grep Version|cut -d" " -f 2
which give 1.0.1 instead of 1.1.1. (I have compiled version from github)
Any idea why ?
Xygrib_download_build.sh.txt

ICON uses geometric height for 0C isotherm. Need to handle both HGT and DIST
Differentiate between geometric height in units of m to geopotential height in units of gpm.

Download Grib Dialog does not retain the chosen settings between uses. It did before

The first post here is to praise and thank the team of Dominique Hausser and Jacques Zaninetti for bringing zyGrib to where it is today - an amazing open source product, a class of its own!

We sincerely hope that the two will continue to follow the future progress of zyGrib.

Following discussion on the subject, separation has been implemented, however testing on Mac is needed.

The settings remain "dual action" - both OS native and ini files. The location of the ini files follows the QStandardPaths class as to the location specific for the OS. If the ini files are not found there they are initialized at this location. Should this not be successful the second option is to use the application current directory tree if writable ( data/config/...). Should this fail too then the OS temp folder is used.

For app data a new setting has been added to store the location of app data. This is the first lookup which is verified. Should it not exist the first search location is based on QStandardPaths for writable storage (the colors and translation files need to be editable). If not found second option is for common area for app data (/user/local/shared/... or c:/Program Data/...). Next option is to look in the current directory. If app data is not found and error is returned and this needs to be implemented into a file system dialog to point to where the data is. (still TODO).

DBG messages to application output allow monitoring the above behavior.

Please check this implementation on as many setups as possible. Mac has not yet been tested

Hi,
Arome model from MeteoFrance has a resolution of 0,025° for 2 days and is very accurate, especially if you sail in Mediterranean sea. Is it plan to integrate this model in XyGrib's server and in grib downloader module?

Invoking a new instance from the mainwindow menu is not working.
@did-g - could this be connected to recent changes?

I ran into a problem and will be happy for any suggestions.

I updated cmake on Trusty to 3.2 and built libopenjp2-7-dev. All the rest was sudo apt-get installed

Following is the build error after linking libraries:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libopenjp2.a(thread.c.o): undefined reference to symbol 'pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.2.5'

Have you ever considered this ?
This is a format that is widely used in the meteo/ocean forecasting world, including a wide range of very high quality, open-source datasets, notably high-res waves and currents. It would open up a lot of opportunities in terms of which data can be visualized.
Happy to help / provide more infos if needed.

I feel that before more feature additions/enhancements it is time to resolve the issue of separating the XyGrib application from its data structure as is the norm for applications that adhere to host OS guidelines.

What would the best strategy be that will account for the following issues:

• Legacy installations with existing data in the install location. Provide for migration of data?
• Installation for one or many users
• Which Windows installer to use
• Is there a common install scheme for all Linux distros?

Hi, I'm back from being away from my desk for a while and am digging back into XyGrib. Right now I'm unable to build in Ubuntu getting the following:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libopenjp2.a(thread.c.o): undefined reference to symbol 'pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
//lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

In Window I'm also having issues with cmake getting it to find libraries
i.e. zlib2 (I have no package - only the include and lib)

CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.11/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message):

  CMakeLists.txt:122 (find_package)

Help will be welcome

These are currently missing and need to be added to the options.
The should also have a distinct default color.

Arpege and Icon use PRESS @ MSL instead of PRMSL.
Also use TPRATE instead of ACPC

These need to be able to be used in their native form

We are open for assistance in building XyGrib for Raspberry Pi.
There is justification for this as Rpi is used as a maritime platform for Openplotter.

Appear to be conflicting declarations. Needs to be tested and solved.

See https://opengribs.org/en/forum/xygrib-support/17-xygrib-won-t-compile-on-fedora-23#45

See thread in forum.

Need to replicate on openSUSE setup and see what the remedy might be.

In the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) the directory /usr is for files managed by the distribution, user installed packages should go to /usr/local/.

For building XyGrib installing the packages isn't necessary, the build scripts can be adapted to look for them in the directory where they are build.

ftp://ftp.bsh.de/Stroemungsvorhersagen/grib2/

There appears to be an issue in version 1.1.0. See forum post on opengribs.
Also some g2c complaint is related. See post

Symptom:
After restart the drop down menu text is small. After resting the menu font to default the size is OK.
If font face is changed it only affects the main menu bar.
This happens only with dark skin.

Suspect: The stylesheets that set the dark skin.

Do you have plans to support Raspberry Pi?

libpng16-dev package is not on raspbian. If I install libpng-dev instead, I get this error:

any idea?

The "releases" section here now includes the installer apps for Linux and Windows. These implement the Qt Installer Framework using the online repository mode. This goes hand in hand with the separation of app and data (and configuration).

The installation process also places an XyGribMaintenanceTool in the app folder. This gives the option to manage updates from the client once these are published in the repository. The installer and the maintenance tool also enable optional installation of the hires maps (also from the repository).

Help is need to test this out on as many boxes as possible.

Can anyone using Mac try and create the same system for OS-X

The installer preparation process for Linux is detailed below
