Great thanks, I'll give it a go tonight or over the weekend

[grayme]

It works thanks

Is there a way to make use of the hourly images of the rain/temperature/etc?

Can you explain more?  What is "hourly images", link?

[grayme]

There are so many options too, how about showing rainfall over a period...

So many options!  

The ones in this area of the site.

Ok, just went to site.  Yes it is possible. I think you can rorate the rain image and get some kind of slow animated image.  You can just use radar.exe to do the downloading.  The url are :

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/live/brradar1.jpg

There are total 7 images for 6 hours, just download 1-7 then you have it.

Would it be a big thing to get TodayPlus to play through them? Or are we stuck with the 3 second update?

 I don't know.  Let me try it, give me 20 minutes.

No hurry!  

Take a break!

The 7 images can be downloaded without any problem.  

We need our master, Wichtel to come out the codes to rotate these 7 images.. I tried but not a good ones..

To let these pictures rotate, these should be in a region of their own.Then you  must have a code  as in the case of the newsticker of the Mainpage. Then this  should work without problems.

[Broesel]

I tried but not a good ones..

That can be handled really simple in my opinion. Example:

The pics are called 1.jpg .... to 7.jpg

initvar,var4,1  // initialize var
.
.
.
.
region,0,0,10
image,0,0,%var4%.jpg
addvar,var4,1
if,var,var4,,>,7
storevar,var4=1
else
endif
.
.
.
.
endregion,0,0

Every 10 seconds (update of the region) the next pic is displayed.

Give it a try

Every 10 seconds (update of the region) the next pic is displayed.

Can we get that down to three seconds or less?

[uk_skinner]

Thanks Wichtel and Broesel.

First, I was trying to use Wichtel's idea to put a daughter region in region,7,7 and tried to use the codes Wichtel did for newsticker in main page.  That did not work, the images did not rotate and frozen all the buttons in that region.

I guessed I was too ambitious becuase I just want to do the images rotation when var51 = 1 and still be able to look other images in that region.  So the idea was to:

if,var,var51,,=,1
  image,x,y,r%var2%.jpg
  addvar,var2,1
  if,var,var2,,=,8
   storevar,var2=1
   else
    endif
else


   image,%var3%,%var23%,%var51%.png
   image,%var3%,%var23%,%var51%.jpg
   image,%var3%,%var23%,%var51%.gif

endif

However, it did not work....

[Broesel]

 Don't know, why it doesn't work for you, I just tried this:

if,var,var26,,=,1
image,0,0,%var1%.png
addvar,var1,1
if,var,var1,,>,7
storevar,var1=1
else
endif
else
image,0,0,folder.bmp,t
endif

and it worked well.
Try to move  the complete code at the beginning of the region, sometimes
that works better. In my test, that code was the first after region, ... and some initalisations.

Broesel

[uk_skinner]

Thanks again, broesel.

I am still doing the "hunting" the problem.  I was trying to adopt  the idea into region,7,7 without any luck.  

 

grayme, it will take me some time to figure it out.
