I use utils more in a shall we say "modular" form.
I have created and are in production state
range charts https://nossis.com.au/weather/rangecharts.htm
miscellaneous charts https://nossis.com.au/weather/misccharts.htm
The bulk of Cumulitis I have sitting here https://nossis.com.au/weather/climate.htm
What got me to this point was using the CutilsCharts.def file that Hans provides as an example https://www.cumuluswiki.org/a/Charts_De ... uage_(CDL) (down the bottom) and also putting in it anything else that I could find that came with the install pack for utils. I wanted to see all that was on offer!
There were some problems in CutilsCharts.def that I had compiled that would cause it not to create the output file/s. The way I found them was to comment everything first, and then uncomment bit by bit. I now have a pretty much fully functional CutilsCharts.def, with some additions and modifications.
My CutilsCharts.def attached for all to slice, dice and modify as they see fit. Using this .def file creates 3 output files as per the sections in the .def file
cumuluscharts.txt - to the unpublished web page https://nossis.com.au/weather/charts.htm (this is a play/testing page)
misccharts.txt - to https://nossis.com.au/weather/misccharts.htm
rangecharts.txt - https://nossis.com.au/weather/rangecharts.htm
Just like to say a big thanks for this module to Hans. It is an awesome tool!
What I have as one of the best graphs that I go to is the Monthly Temperature and Monthly Rainfall. These I think are exceptional!
Would love to see more plot variables added, when the time permits, and also to able to make more charts like Monthly Temperature and Monthly Rainfall using other variables.
Postlude:
To get to run when I choose (just the compiler) I created a batch script file (since I run from a windows computer)
Also setup a scheduled task to automate that to run every 10 minutes
Code: Select all
REM This runs the "cumulusutils.exe" and uploads components as per switches, only if the process CumulusMX.exe is running
cd\
cd C:\CumulusMX
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq CumulusMX.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "CumulusMX.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" GOTO runutils
GOTO end
:runutils
START /D C:\CumulusMX C:\CumulusMX\utils\bin\cumulusutils.exe CompileOnly
:end
exit
Hope that this can be a bit useful for some.
