Format Cmd field in Graph section ** solved **

Post by cbhiii »

This may have been covered before, but the forum search doesn't work.

When using graphs I see the \"Format Cmd\" field and want to know what parameters I can enter there. Is there a list of commands for this field?

Thanks.

Hi
I also would like to be able to input the format command line. The manual is the Gnuplot, I have a copy of it and I'm still lost. So not as easy as reading the manual, this depends on your capability of understanding what is being said in the manual. If you have some programming experience, then this may come easier to you, but certainly not me. :whistle:
As far as I am aware you can input commands to see what happens and the remove the command line if it is not what you want, but I would do a data backup first.

in the format command field you can insert gnuplot commands separated by \"|\" instead of new line.

In the \"graph definitions\" section of this forum you may find some more hints.

To get an idea what can be done, you should have a look at the gnuplot documentation (version 4.2 is fine) as Meteohub does all graph plotting via gnuplot.
