Hourly Forecast

[uk_skinner]

Uk-skinner, I suppose that the temperatures are h1tempxx h2tempxx and so on. What are you putting int the 'xx'? And what do you put in the 'xx' when the temperature is negative?

Don't get it.

The "h1temp" is the name of the kwy and the temperature is the value of the key.  See capture.  Use "calcvar" you can get the number out.  If it is negative, it will be negative.

Uk_skinner,

All wright, I got it!!

I think I'm doing the next thing:
•  there's an unchanging border-pic
• in that pic are 12 lillte/small pics (points),each representing the temperature.
•  the 12 little small pics are called from the vars that are put in the registry

Do I forget something? Is this possible?

Timmy:

 Yes, a fixed border image of chart would be nice.  If you can have 12 tickers at x-axis then time point can be writen under the ticker.  Y-axis is not easy because each time the range will be different.  The maximum and minimum can be displayed.

 What kind of image you have in mind?  The number of temperature can be displayed jsut use text code, since you can assign a var to the temperature.  The position of the image also was calculated within TP.  What happened was the range (maximum and minimum of temp) also were writen into registry key.  So I could call them out and calculate the position for each temp.  For each one I just use one image to represent it.

@Uk_skinner and all the other members,

My intention is to make some different thermo-backgrounds, and this is my first try-out.
=> The dots I made later, but ther aren't in the pic.
=>The line is within the thermo-background.



Every temperature has it's own little pic.
  This is the example pic for -15° C


If you have wishes or good tips, please give them!

 Creative, brilliant idea!!!!    

 I assumed the line represented frozen point, right?  How about in summer?  Or some area that never reach forzen point, such as Hawaii???

@Timmy: Nice start, colors and scale representing the temperatures seems
to look good for me.

@uk_skinner: also in summer ther are some areas, that have temperatures
near or under the frozen point. What about the northpole ?

You got that right......

Uk_skinner,

Don't talk about Hawaii or other beautifull and warm countries... That gave me some jealous feelings... We had two mostly water-cold and light freezing days here in the Neherlands, and I wish the summer was back here...

Me too, having snow and cold weather this and next week, uk_skinner,
can you change the weathericons and the temperature in the php-script
to sunny and warm, please    

Regards Broesel

broesel:

  Compare to your places, mine is a little bit better but it is far from warm..

  I can do it if you fell better...

@Broesel and @uk_skinner,

Thank you for your response. Now I know I can begin the job.

@ALL,

Again I need somebodies help.

What names must I give to the different temperature pics?
1.png, 2.png end so on...
... is no longuer possible, cause that are the names of the winddirection pics.

Anybody a good suggestion?!?

Timmy

[Geezer]

Why not t1.png and t2.png and so forth..??

Timmy:
 We can do t%varXX%.png.  So the name of image can be t1.png, t2.png....However, two things: 1) Are you going to prepare two sets (for C and F)?  2) Also QVGA and VGA?    

Edit:  Geezer just have the same idea as mine.

That's right, you cannot use that numbers. And another problem is,
you cannot use names like -10.png (for the negative temperatures in
Celsius). So what can we do ?

I had a similar problem with the barmeter-temperature i'm playing with.
The barmeter does not show a bar, if the temperature is negative.
So I did a calculation for that case, assuming values from -40 to +40 °C.

I added 40 to every temperature-value so I got values from 0 to 80
representing the temperatures. If you did that, that would not fit again.
So what if you added 460 to the value, you would get names from
500 to 580 (that are values, that are not crossing the winddir-names).

Only an idea, let's hear, what uk_skinner thinks of this problem.

Regards Broesel

Edit: o.K. was too slow

Of course the solution from uk_skinner is the best (didn't think that right over)
