Found this software yesterday and must say, its really intresting :D

Few suggestions tought...

For the webpage:

- Temperature-range on gauges don't need to be -40 to +60, -20 to +20 could be as default and then automatic adjust if needed.
- Pressure-range on barometer is totally off the planet, it should start at say 940 hPa, not at 800
- Windspeed on windgauges could be at max say 20 m/s with adjust if needed

With these adjust they should look much better and webpage more readible :)

It's not my code and I don't do javascript. But feel free to make the adjustments yourself :-)

Yes, it uses a max of 50 (changing to 100 when necessary), regardless of what units are in use. With m/s, 50 is probably a bit excessive. I can't do anything about it just at the moment, unfortunately.

The gauges are from here:

I just provide the input data using Cumulus web tags.

I just looked all the files that I could and I don't see anywhere to change the values on the gauges. Maybe I am just looking in the wrong place. I looked at the dashboard.js, the gaugest.htm, wz.jsgraphics.js, weathersytle.css.

I found some in dashboard.js what could be it, like scale=3.6/factor;maxm=60; but haven't tested yet.
Also then it needs new baseimages done...

There is the convenience of -40C and -40F being the same and +60C = a nice round number making the scaling better. As you say, you will also have to modify all of the base images. I'm leaving it!

Hi Pinto!

Thanks! Will use that instead :)

Have to ask, you don't have a php-script for round gauges too? ;)

valnow=parseFloat(data[0]);
t=parseInt(((maxm-valnow)*scale)+16);b=(bottom-t)-22;l=31;r=60;
var jg=new jsGraphics(id);
jg.setColor(TempColor || "#F11545");

************

#F11545 is the not so nice red colour
and I change (bottom-t) value from +1 to -22 to get the colourfill more up
