Feature request: wind gust dots about weewx-belchertown

[poblabs]

If you want to change the thickness of the dots, find the big block that begins with var optionsWind= {, then inside that block you'll see plotOptions.... replace that whole thing with this:

        plotOptions: {
            line: {
                lineWidth: 2,
                marker: {
                    enabled: false
                }
            },
            series: {
                marker: { radius: 2 },
            }
        },

Then update the radius to something you'd like. The radius of 2 matches the wind direction plot.

All of this would have to be in a weewx options format for public consumption but if you wanted to tinker on it now, give it a try.

Still unsure how to change the hover text with a shared plot. Initial tests didn't work.

Yep, still planning on working on it. I've had a few changes lately which caused me to take a step back from my hobbies. Hoping to get back on it soon and will take a look at this!

I took a 5 minute stab at this.... If this is what you're looking for, it's an easy manual change - but notice the hover text shows a grid coordinate and not the speed. Might take more time to figure out how to override that text. 🤔

To play around with it, in user/skins/belchertown/js edit the highcharts-dayplots.js.tmpl and the week, month, year files too. At the bottom you'll see:

optionsWind.series[1] = seriesData[0].windplot.series.windGust;

Right below that line add:

optionsWind.series[1].type = 'scatter';

Then restart weewx and you should get dots on the next archive interval.

Great news on both fronts - thanks Pat 👍

I'll have a play and see how it looks.

[41south]

Nice, thanks again for the help.

This works great, I think it cleans up the graph a lot. As you say just the hover txt to sort.

[41south]

Happy to close this, no longer required on my part 👍 The clutter I had was actually caused by the data - which is now sorted

Just an update that in skin 1.0 I've re-written the entire charting system, and today I was able to get the 2 observations types to co-exist on a chart.

The popup information "tooltip" doesn't show the wind direction until you explicitly hover over it, but I think it looks great! There's even 2 yAxis for the different observation units.

Excellent, thanks very much for your work on this

I think I mixed your request with another one. The screenshot above shows wind speed and wind gust as line charts and the dots show wind direction. So 3 observations one 1 chart.

Your specific request - as I understand it - is to have wind speed as line, and wind gust as dots. You can achieve that as well with the below config when skin version 1.0 is released.

        [[[windchart]]]
            title = Wind Speed / Gust
            [[[[windGust]]]]
                type = scatter
            [[[[windSpeed]]]]
                zIndex = 1

And here's what it would look like if you chose "area" as the type of chart for windSpeed.

        [[[windchart]]]
            title = Wind Speed / Gust
            [[[[windGust]]]]
                type = scatter
            [[[[windSpeed]]]]
                type = area
                zIndex = 1
