Ladybug: How to change the temperature legends from C to °C. #474

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

Hello guys,

I have the following problem: I would like to set up a file in which I can visualize the temperature with a chart in Ladybug. However the legends of all the different chart types always use "C" as head of the legend. I would like to change this to "°C". Any idea how I can do that?

Looking forward to hearing from you! Best Max

You can do the following to achieve what you mentioned. Custom Legend Using this File Please close this issue if this answers your query.

It's also worth adding that, because the degree symbol isn't an ASCII character, it can create issues on certain machines that lack a full character set and, perhaps more importantly, it creates issues with simulation engines like EnergyPlus, which halts the whole simulation when it finds a non-ASCII character. So this is why the software is the way that it is and it's why we still plan to use C in the [+] libraries (without the degree symbol). But we'll make sure that there are always workarounds like this if you need them.
