the forecast extension only shows tide data in tabular form - there is no graphic display of tides. one of these days... if your xtide is configured properly, if you look at one of the default forecast reports (table or strip) you should see the tides the forecast extension puts the tide data into a forecast database, along with all of the other forecast data. it works differently from the TideGenerator approach i described earlier in this thread. so that gives you a third approach: write a pure javascript implementation that uses data from the forecast database. that approach would use cheetah to iterate through the $forecast.xtide variable, then javascript would render onto an HTML5 canvas. or perhaps use c3 (or some other d3 derivative) or highcharts (does highcharts support this kind of plotting?) to do the rendering. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
