Howdy Stu, JC, and WeatherCat fans,
That's correct and is used in conjunction with the THISSEASON time specifier in STAT$ tags so as to be able to display rain data for the season. What's needed is a yearly time period for custom graphs that uses the rain season start month rather than January (along with the changes Reinhard mentioned above).
Yup, that's why I was a little startled when I displayed the graph since the statistics are displayed correctly otherwise.
Just to further muddy the waters a little . . . . . . . .
Would there be any reason why someone might need both types of graphs? (graphs starting on January-1 and July-1 in my case . . . . )
The only reason I could imagine is for sharing rainfall information across regions so that using January-1 is a reasonable universal standard.
I thought I would ask just in case there was an expected clamor to have both types of graphs available. If a user needs a January-1 graph infrequently, then one can generate that graph by temporarily changing the start of the reason season and then changing it back once the graph is made.
Still, I thought I would ask . . . . before Stu starting along one solution path only to discover that
da' crowd wanted something else!
Cheers, Edouard
P.S. I can't think of any reason why in California there would be a need for the January-1 graph . . . . but I could be wrong
ya' know!!
