2.5 Show Curves – Display of Cloudiness
This dialog shows the daily evaluation files (e.g. "cloudiness_20140113.txt") as graphical line plot,
to provide a better overview of cloudiness changes. This is much more demonstrative than viewing
the table of cloudiness values.
As a matter of principle the display only shows selected days. Showing all days normally would
take too much drawing time. When at least one display is opened ("Show Curves"), the software
knows that selected days are desired to be shown and opens more displays, when days of another
Cloudcam will be selected. Because this can cause a lot of open displays, in menu of main window
there is an option to close them all at once ("Hide Curves").
As shown above each day gets an own drawing area and it is possible to scroll to the left or to the
right for viewing single days. The example above doesn't show the original size of the window, but
an enlargement to show more than one day at a time. Every display can be resized and positioned
to match better to screen area and chosen range and will store its position and size.
On right-hand side of the display there are some options for configuration. They are the same for
displays of different Cloudcams.
