Talking about editors (I know I use Windows), I have switched from Sublime Text to Microsoft Visual Studio Code. Don't be put off by the name, it is nothing to do with Visual Studio, it's free, open source, and multiplatform  - including Mac.

It is getting great community support and looks like it is going to be very popular. It is actively maintained and developed, and there are monthly update releases. The range of available plugins seems to grows daily.

Definitely worth a look. Like Sublime it is based on your browser engine, snd you do need to have Node.js installed to use it.

Mark:

Here is a little tiny edit to make in your next release.

The comment line in the Singleton for the Cloud Base Gauge, around 2576 in gauges.js should be 100 ft rather than 50 ft:

      // and round the value to the nearest 50 100 ft

The first comment line correctly states 50 ft, but the second comment line should be 100 ft.

Thanks, I'd already spotted that one 😉

I'm away on a family break this weekend, but I expect the next release next week. Not a lot in it, but nicer handling of pop-ups on small screens, the cloud base rounding option, minor tidying up and a HTML correction.

Looking forward too the improvements and appreciate your work.

To keep me busy whilst you are away, can you tell me where to adjust the colour gradient for the cloud base gauge?

Enjoy your family holiday.

Try searching for "createCloudBaseSections" around line 3140 in my current edit.

You chaps may be interested in another little PHP script for your web pages I knocked up last week - Sun Plot.
You can see it in use on my home page (not much sun today  :( ), and the download is here



It doesn't matter if you don't have a database that stores the sunshine data, you can use the plot just to show the Suns position as the day progresses and the relative day/night length and changes in Suns elevation. It's self contained, no other libraries etc. required.

Thanks! May include that (with appropriate attribution, of course!) on my site!

Have a great vacation!

Mark:

When you get back from your family holiday will you please look at my Cloud Base gauge? My preference default for that gauge is feet. When I change the preference box to metres, the gauge does not scale properly until I refresh the page after selecting metres. Reinhard's gauge does not do this, but his default is set to metres. I would appreciate you letting me know if you see this display when you look at my site and if so, is there something I can do about it?

Thanks.

What's so cool about Visual Studio Code? (Was: Steel Gauges)

Dear Mark and WeatherCat web spinners,

Talking about editors (I know I use Windows), I have switched from Sublime Text to Microsoft Visual Studio Code. Don't be put off by the name, it is nothing to do with Visual Studio, it's free, open source, and multiplatform  - including Mac.

It is getting great community support and looks like it is going to be very popular. It is actively maintained and developed, and there are monthly update releases. The range of available plugins seems to grows daily.

Definitely worth a look. Like Sublime it is based on your browser engine, snd you do need to have Node.js installed to use it.

Unfortunately these days I'm having trouble with another kind of "engine" so I won't jump to install this right away.  However, for the rest of the WeatherCatters here is the link:

https://code.visualstudio.com/

Any particular feature that really got your attention?

Cheers, Edouard

Thanks for looking at it. For me, when I change to metres, the gauge remains the same scale as feet, which means that it shows 2500 metres higher than the maximum scale. The colour gradient stops at 5500 metres, but the scale keeps going to 8000. I have to then refresh the page to get it to scale properly for metres.

Blicj,
I just took a look at your gauges and they are working fine - every change I make within the units the gauges take them at once.
Reinhard

Now I know what to do during the weekend!  :D
