New Plugin - Steel Series GaugesHi guys,
I have been working on this for quite some time and now I finally think I got it to the final stage. Before I continue, I would like to especially
thank Mark Crossley for creating this script and letting me use it.
I have substantially modified both the original Steel Series script and Mark?s script to make it compatible with Meteotemplate and the database, the data retrieving script is different and I have also added many new features, and most importantly, completely converted the setup to GUI (colorpickers, drag/drop etc.). It will also automatically choose language and units based on your template settings.
Main features-
interactive real-time updating gauges showing your data
-
tooltips with today?s min/max values
-
summary of current, today?s and yesterday?s data
-
interactive graphs-
complete GUI setup
-
highly customizable-
compatible with the template database, WD, Cumulus, WeatherCat, MeteobridgeSome of the changes I made to the original script:-
interactive graphs are available for all data sources and include daily, monthly, annual graphs, where you can also select grouping-
GUI set up page, where you can specify practically everything (colors using
colorpickers, gauge order using
drag&drop, look and feel of the gauges, disable/enable gauges and their features etc.)
- completely different data retrieval script
-
new summary page (popup dialog with summary data table and caching implemented)
-
possibility to choose gauge type for each parameter gauge
-
drag&drop gauge order-
pointer speed selection
- possibility to set
gauge shadow options (transparency, size, color)
- possibility to specify
min/max highlight area (enable/disable, color, transparency)
- possibility to specify
rain gauge gradient color (I added some new gradients to the original script for more options)
- possibility to specify
odometer details (size, number of digits, background/foreground colors of main section and decimals section)
- possibility to specify the
knob color- added new
customization features for tooltips - trigger (hover or click), animation time, tooltip delay
- changed
color gradients of the gauges (solar uses black->yellow, temperature blue->red etc.)
- changed styling of tooltips and other parts to
match the design you specified for Meteotemplate-
auto use template language and unitsYou can basically set up absolutely everything and you don?t have to know a single line of code. I tried to make the setup page as intuitive as possible and
in the demo you can also view this setup page on my server (this is a modified version in which you obviously will not be able to save the changes, this is only for illustration purposes, but once you install this in your template you will of course be able to see and save the changes).
Hope you enjoy it and thanks again to Mark for his great work.DEMO:
