This section contains a couple of Meteoplug graphs to give you an impression what Meteoplug can do with your weather data. You will also see Meteoplug graph definitions that produced these interactive graphs.
Line Graphs
Meteoplug supports classic line graphs to display change of weather data over time. Meteoplug adds interactivity to this. Please give the scroller a try to drag and expand or compress time frame. You can also hide lines by deselecting these in the legend.
Classic: Temperature, Humidity and Dew Point
This graph makes use of both y-axis. Left one displays temperature, right one is displaying relative humidity.
Definition:
timeframe=3D # set total time frame to 3 days zoom=1D # select actual day gtitle=Temp/Hum # name of graph gheight=400 # height in pixels of graph gwidth=550 # width in pixels of graph glunit=°C # unit of left y-axis grunit=% # unit of right y-axis gtype=line # type of graph gtrim=0 sid0=th0 sname0=temp ssel0=temp # sensor 0, temperature sid1=th0 sname1=dew ssel1=dew # sensor 1, dew point sid2=th0 syaxis2=r sname2=hum ssel2=hum # sensor 2, humidity
Using JavaScript as engine the chart looks this way and can include min/max markers, which show up a balloon with data when moving the mouse onto it. "gnight" commands do add a dimmed display of time frames between sunset and sunrise.

Classic with different color schema
You can change colors for overall background, plot area background, grid lines and text to fit your home page design. You can also disable period selector and scroller at the bottom to make your chart looking less complicated. Although the scroller is missing you still can drag the graph to scroll along the time line. Zooming is not possible without the scroller.
Definition:
timeframe=3D # set total time frame to 3 days zoom=1D # select actual day gtitle=Temp/Hum # name of graph gheight=400 # height in pixels of graph gwidth=550 # width in pixels of graph glunit=°C # unit of left y-axis grunit=% # unit of right y-axis gtype=line # type of graph gtrim=0 # no trimming periodselector=0 # no period selector at the bottom scrollerselector=0 # no scroller at the bottom bgcolor=#000000 # overall background is black textcolor=#FFFFFF # text color is white gbgcolor0=#333333 # background color of first plot area is dark gray gridcolor=#FFFFFF # color of grid lines is white... gridalpha=20 # ...but with only 20% intensity (results in gray) sid0=th0 sname0=temp ssel0=temp # sensor 0, temperature sid1=th0 sname1=dew ssel1=dew # sensor 1, dew point sid2=th0 syaxis2=r sname2=hum ssel2=hum # sensor 2, humidity
By changing the engine to JavaScript and adding a min/max marker on temperature the chart looks like this. As there is no scroller bar at the bottom, the chart can be scrolled by clicking the mouse into the chart and dragging the chart while keeping the mouse button pressed:

Stepped: Rain Fall and Rainy Days
This graphs displays total rain fall of each month by a stepped line with filled area below and number of days with rain as a smoothed line.

Stacked: Number of Days per Month
Stacked graphs are line graphs that are drawn on top of another graph. This is like graphically adding values. Stacked graphs are useful, when you want to compare values with each other and if you want to see how much each line contributes to the total. This graph sorts days of a month into temperature zones according to their maximum outdoor temperature. Zones are
- maximum temperature of day is below -5°C
- maximum temperature of day is between -5°C and 0°C
- maximum temperature of day is between 0°C and 5°C
- maximum temperature of day is between 5°C and 10°C
- maximum temperature of day is between 10°C and 15°C
- maximum temperature of day is between 15°C and 20°C
- maximum temperature of day is between 20°C and 25°C
- maximum temperature of day is between 25°C and 30°C
- maximum temperature of day is above 30°C

Colored: Temperature with Color Bars
This chart uses left y-axis for temperature and the right one for displaying colored bars realized as stepped lines with filled area below. Color bar is a result of overlapping stepped and filled line charts of sensors 1 to 3. You can inspect how this works by deselecting single sensors from the legend at the top.

Radar Charts
Meteoplug provides radar charts to display distribution of wind to 16 wind directions.
Main Wind Direction
This chart shows main wind directions during last month. Percentage show what percentage of time each direction has been registered.

Color Maps
Meteoplug can draw colored 2-dimensional arrays, where color indicates a values (like temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc). Rows represent duration of a day, which can be a resolution between min5 and day1, and each columns represents a signle day. These color maps are useful to compare values at a certain time between neigbouring days.
Color Map for Temperatures in Summer 2008
This chart presents temperatures of days of summer 2008. First column is 1st of June 2008, last column is 31th of August 2008. Temperature colors start from blue (cold), via green, yellow to red (hot). Time resolution is 1 hour.
Color maps are interactive, when you move the cursor on the map a red balloon will show selected date, time and represented value.

Distribution Charts
Meteoplug can generate graphs, that how how long a sensor has reported values in a certain range. This allows a separation of weather data into buckets that represent defined value ranges. Each bucket represents the total duration of sensor data in value range defined by the bucket. This kind of data analysis allows to compute an expectation how much power a wind power generating device will produce at that location. This kind of "Weibull" analysis is not just useful for wind sensors, but can also be used for other sensor data.
Weibull Distribution as Graph
Attached chart displays how long wind speed of ranges 0.0-0.5, 0.5-1.0, ... (and so on) have been measure at my location in complete January 2010. Red curve displays averaged wind speeds, blue lines is based on wind gust measurement.

Non-Interactive Graphs
Beside interactive Flash graphs presented in sections 1-4, Meteoplug also supports a graphing feature that produces static graphs in terms of ".png" images. Meteoplug makes use of gnuplot to achieve this. Definition language for these non-interactive graphs is mostly as explained for interactive graphs before.
Advantage of non-interactive graphs is, that they can be included into a users homepage by HTML IMG-tag. It does not need any Flash Player or JavaScript and will, therefore, even work fine on mobile browsing devices.

Templates
Meteoplug supports a template mechanism that allows you to fill weather data into a given HTML file and to report this modified HTML file to the requesting browser. Template mechanism can also be used for picture templates where a ImageMagick graphic definition can be modified with weather data and a picture file containing this data is returned to the requestor.
HTML Templates
Meteoplug allows to replace variables in HTML templates with data. This comes handy when you have web pages you want to have weather data filled in in. instead of calling the template page directly a Meteoplug chart definition is called that delivers the template file with variables filled in.

Picture Templates
Meteoplug can generate picture files (i.e.: png, jpg) according to ImageMagick convert program specifications. You can find details on available parameters at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php. Picture template is a selection of convert options. Most of the options are available with Meteoplug, if you select one not available an error message will be prompted. Specification is just a bunch of options plus an initial picture to start with (like "gradient:white-lightblue". File operations and some special characters are forbidden and will throw an error. By using ImageMagick's convert Meteoplug gains an enormous richness of options to generate pictures.
"Weather Data Thumb" Example
Meteoplug chart definition used to derive a png picture from the template above with data filled in. This example makes use of the "inline" directive, where template data is stored inside the chart definition:

Maps
When users have given their station a "map name" on settings page their station can appear on maps the user itself or other users of the same group are requesting. When you don't have a group account your station is always attached to the default group. If you have a Meteoplug group account, only yourself can see the other stations of your group on the map. By that the position and data of your group's stations is not visible to other users.
Meteoplug's map feature is based on Google Maps. Registered Meteoplug accounts appear as red markers, non registered Meteohub stations that send up weather data to Meteoplug are represented as blue markers. Accounts going through registration process or with an outdated activation are displayed in yellow. Apart from numerical data displayed on the right when the mouse touches a marker, registered accounts also display an summarizing interactive graph when being clicked.
This map definition build a map and defines the sensors to be displayed on the right. You can change this definition to your needs, if you want to display other values or different map sizes and positions:

Live Data
Based on FusionWidget Toolkit Meteoplug provides gauges, dials and meters to display weather station live data. Below you see an example of using template "*instruments-black" with one of the test weather stations. Live data visualiziation can be done via Flash or Javascript.
Hardcore Examples
This section presents some more advanced examples for a user who is familiar with basic chart definition techniques.
Tables With Icons
Meteoplug allows to embed icons according to forecast values and moon phases. "phaseiconlist" and "fciconlist" are used to point to icons. Adders "width" and "height" are used to scale down icons.

Multiple Graphs in one Chart
Meteoplug allows to position multiple graphs stacked one over the over in one chart sharing one common time line. Global definitions per graph (all start with "g") are added by a number to express which graph is mentioned. If the number is missing, Meteoplug assumes that first graph (with implicit number "0") should be used. Sensor definition (all start with "s") allow for an additional specification of the graph where the sensor should belong to. Example: "sid1_2=th0" specifies a sensor "th0" to be accessed as sensor "2" of graph "1". "sid3" is a simplified notation of "sid0_3" as long as just one graph (with number "0") is defined.

Interactive Selection of Time Periods and Graphs
This example makes use of predefined chart template "__dashboard-1", which allows to select a certain day by a JavaScript calendar application, plus selection a period of time (day, week, month, year) on the left side and selection of a chart type. Charts can be replaced by individual charts, if you like.
