Constructing graphs from previous year???

[Mtn.Marty]

I had a beautiful graph of daily/monthly/yearly rainfall which I was following all year. Looked great. We were away over the New Years Holiday and now I can't retrieve this graph since it's 2014, not 2013. I can find no ability to specify "Last Year" for example in constructing any graphs. How can this be? Please help! Must I time travel?

Hi Mtn.Marty and WeatherCat fans,

I had a beautiful graph of daily/monthly/yearly rainfall which I was following all year. Looked great. We were away over the New Years Holiday and now I can't retrieve this graph since it's 2014, not 2013. I can find no ability to specify "Last Year" for example in constructing any graphs. How can this be? Please help! Must I time travel?

  . . . Well, . . . . . . After the year we've had, I would personally avoid any time travel back to 2013 even if a time machine were available! 

I think what you want it to set the date for which the graph is constructed.  You can change the date for when a graph is displayed using the daily view control window.   It is the window that has the word "Today" at the top and the space where you could type in a date.  WeatherCat will try to make sense of multiple date formats.  However, if you want to be safe, read up on what WeatherCat can accept in the WeatherCat manual starting on page 30.

Hope that allows you to get your pretty graphs without going back to that "13" year! 

Cheers, Edouard

Hi Mtn.Marty,
As Edouard points out, basic graphs and scrolling type custom graphs will follow the date set in the WeatherCat Controller. Anchored graphs start at a specific point in time (i.e. for an annual one, it's the start of this year).

Another option is to export last years data then plot it in a spreadsheet.
