Rainfall Chart
I not sure if this a problem with the new charts jscript or just a strange piece of mapping because of a strange piece of data.
For some reason I got some rainfall logged as -0.0 and when that is mapped in Cumulus MX charts it is not the same 0.0 and therefore shows a sort of negative spike!! I know it is -0.0 because it shows up in the window when you run the mouse over it.
Looks a bit strange!!

Re: Rainfall Chart
I don't think it's anything to do with the changes to the chart. I wonder if somehow the rate calculation came out slightly negative and that got rounded to the rather odd -0.0. I would guess it happened around a restart and was due to rounding of the stored rain counter values. I'll put a check in for it.

Re: Rainfall Chart
There are a few rain rate values of -0.03 inches, so that's not just down to rounding. That does remind me that I need to make the scale show two decimals for inches. Maybe the counter went down for a period, or it could be a bug - could you upload the diags file, please?

Re: Rainfall Chart
I've changed my mind - it is down to rounding. I had forgotten that the 0.03 for the rate actually only represents a difference of 0.03/12 = 0.0025. It happened just after you restarted Cumulus, as the current counter was being compared to the rounded figures stored in the log file. I think the code I've added will fix it, but I'll check to see what I did in Cumulus 1 for this.

Re: Rainfall Chart
Did you do the change for the rain charts yet? I'm using CMX3013. I am showing 2 decimal places (0.09in) on the dashboard but only one on the charts page (0.1in) It's not really a big deal, I just wanted to let you know about it.steve wrote:There are a few rain rate values of -0.03 inches, so that's not just down to rounding.

No matter how carefully you choose your words, they'll always end up being twisted by others!

Re: Rainfall Chart
No, not yet. I'm intending to make the number of decimal places in MX configurable, so I'll tie this change into that when I do it.

Re: Rainfall Chart
Thanks for the update, I thought I ma have messed something up... I also noticed it is 2 places in the current data window and gauges also.. I'll bet you wish people would conform to world standards.....

Re: Rainfall Chart
I'm in no position to complain. I use the 'standard' mm, hPa/mb, deg C... and mph.
