The ChartsCompiler is the "next-generation" method of creating charts for websites on the basis of CumulusMX based systems. Charts are defined in a dedicated [[Charts Definition Language (CDL)|Charts Definition Language]] and compiled into a file (or files) containing both the HTML/javascript menu infrastructure as well as the Highcharts javascript code to create the charts. Data - in JSON files similar like those produced by CumulusMX - is assumed to be present in the directory from where the page is called. The ChartsCompiler gives the user the possibility to completely freely define and generate charts for all weather variables within CMX (including userdefined and derivatives) for within any website context.
The compiler can be used within CumulusUtils website (intrinsic with the Website Generator [[ChartsCompiler#Implicit_activation|(Implicit Activation)]]) and the output can be used standalone (really standalone if you rename the output to .html) or standalone from within a users website (menu or link; [[ChartsCompiler#Explicit_activation|Explicit Activation]]). When used outside the CumulusUtils infrastructure, you must be aware of the [[cumulusutils.ini|parameters]] (section general) ''GeneratejQueryInclude'' and ''DoLibraryIncludes''.
