Spiral plot? #4

Open swfrx opened 2 years ago

swfrx commented 2 years ago

I switched to this from the PolarWindPlot as it didn't work on bullseye & python 3.9.2. However unlike the PolarWindPlot it doesn't offer the same range of types of plot, most of all the Spiral. I was using this and would be very happy if the spiral starts working again.

     [[SpiralScatterTrailSpecific]]
         [[[dot4spiral]]]
             plot_type = spiral
             marker_type = dot
             marker_size = 4
             [[[[windSpeed]]]]

Our intention when we put weewx-polarwindplot together was to create a new plot generator, based on weewx-stackedwindrose, but with the ability to create a number of different polar plot types. Our plan was that it would replace weewx -stackedwindrose. Unfortunately, other commitments got in the way and we never finished weewx-polarwindplot, in fact I am surprised anyone ever used the code as as far as I am aware we never released any code.

No matter, I won't be adding any more capabilities to weewx-stackedwindrose but I am more than happy to look at why weewx-polarwindrose is not working. If you upgraded to Bullseye it could be that you are now running WeeWX under python 3 whereas you were previously running WeeWX under python 2. Since the weewx-polarwindplot code was last touched some four years ago it is entirely possible that the code was never adapted for python 3.

If you still have access to the error messages in the WeeWX log when you ran weewx-polarwindplot under Bullseye could you please create a new issue against weewx-polarwindplot and include a copy of the error messages from the log.
