Dynamic graphs.......

[peter]

Hello,
Is any one using this option for dynamic graphs and the http server?
If so can you please provide a link so I can see the graphs.
Thank you

Hi,

I think Marco uses this feature on this page:

http://marcodechaligny.free.fr/page_meteo/meteo_01.htm

See "Archives", it seems to be a bit long to load, probably a bandwidth issue.

Antoine.

Thank you Antoine,
I don't know why, but I was expecting something different, no problem I'm just trying to cut down on bandwidth use by uploading the graph image. I also upload a text file in "real time" from Weather Display, is there any way to use that for the graphs?

I'm not sur to understand want you want. Could you be more precise ?

I'm just trying to find a way to make dynamic charts and use this .txt file from WD (clientraw files). Your program can do dynamic in a different way. I appreciate your time and your program, it's very nice. What I had in mind was something like this http://www.syroswx.gr/chart_outside-temp.php this is flash, but.... and also I've made this http://www.syroswx.gr/gauges/ with another tool using the clientraw files because I couldn't modify your flash part, my experience with all this is very limited.
Thank you.

Yes with GraphWeather you can generate graphs and display html template dynamically.
For example, I have open my server and you can see a dynamic graph here (there is many option to select graph type, period, etc.):

Antoine I couldn't connect to the above link this morning.

Try again, my computer was closed tonight.

Ok, your graphs are very very good and that's why I use them, but I just don't know how to get them update dynamically, is this graph update from your data.txt? or what source does it need to update? a sample of files needed to do that might give me an idea of how to do it. I can try to modify the files.
Thank you

When you click on the link above, your computer requests directly to my computer a graphics. My computer generates the graphic and send you back the result (the picture).

In modifying the request, as http://titoine.no-ip.org/graphs?startti ... modern.xml
You can choose the graphic type and the period, dynamically.
GW acts as a simple webserver that responds on simple requests.

Thank you Antoine,
I'll try to see if I can get it to work, not having a static IP is a problem, but will the $domain= accept a dyndns name? Also in the graphs.php in this line $location="http://".$_GET['domain'].":".$_GET['port']."/graphs?"; the path /graphs what files does it need to have?
Peter

[TiToine]

The $domain should work with dyndns name. There is nothing to change in /graph because "graph" is a word understood by GW. There is also /records /stats /lastrecord to have other thing than graphics.

[peter]

Ok, so I got it working, but after 2 or 3 requests for graphs I get this "GraphWeather.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." No problem, I'll play with it for a while to see if it's something my end.
Thank you Antoine

This feature is possibly bugged because there is no many people using it, not well tested.

I'm using the server feature (2.0.152a) without any problems.
Currently I'm only using the graph feature. Since the stats have improved so much, I don't see the need for daily/monthly/yearly stats presented dynamically. Another reason is that I forgot to block the page for BOT/Spiders (after a rebuild of my site). My MySQL server was overloaded by too many queries when the BOTs hit my site.
Here are the graphs (daily/monthly) served by GW: http://vindkast.no/wx_grafer.php
I also intend to build it into the stats-pages with a thumbnail image on day/month pages to get graphs for that day/month. It will be a HighslideJS solution like I have on my mainpage (like the thumbs for webcam and GW-moonphase. I just love the way the images fly out and can be arranged whereever you want them

BTW I'm running plugin MySQL
