Alternate wind graph thought.
Posted: Tue 31 Jan 2017 8:40 pm
Just been playing with the wind graphs in jpchart, (& probably out of my depth).
Wondering what thoughts are on this idea, if I can explain it so it makes sense.
A Scatter graph of average wind direction, starting out with say 3x3 plot points.
For Wind speed, could that value take control of the plot point size, so the vertical size of the plot point is controlled by wind speed.
So say plot point sizes might be:
0km/h = 3x3
10km/h = 3x10
30km/h = 3x30
etc...
There would need to be unused area above & below the graph, so the bars didn't get truncated, something like a -40 to 400 direction axis.
Does that all make sense, if it was doable, feasible, I'm assuming it would look something like this, without the shading & symmetrical.
Y-Axis displacement indicating wind direction of course.
Does anyone know a correct term for this type of graph?
Think it would make a superb visualisation of wind speed & direction.
