Charts Definition Language (CDL): Difference between revisions

#CONNECTSTO (Optional construct): The integer numbers which follow CONNECTSTO represent a pane in the realtime [[Dashboard|dashboard]]. When clicked on that pane this chart appears. This is only valid on charts in the default output. For other outputs there is no semantics for CONNECTSTO and a warning is issued in the logfile if it is specified in any second or higher output.

#HAS WINDBARBS [ ABOVE | BELOW ] (Optional construct): Defines if the chart displays the WINDBARBS showing direction and speed as indicators (this is not an exact plot of wind). Above | Below specifies the place in the chart.

#PLOT: Starts the plot specification using one of the possible variables. Each chart requires at least one PLOT.

#[[CDL - STATS|STATS]]: Starts the statistics block using one of the possible variables. Semantics demands the variable to be plotted normally as well.

#OPACITY: Defines the opacity for that variable (important for area and column graphs)

#AXIS: Gives the user the possibility to specify an axis when using the EVAL construct otherwise an error is generated.

#ENDCHART: End the chart definition

#OUTPUT (Optional construct): Gives an optional name of an outputfile which starts at the chart where it is defined. Any chart after this OUTPUT specifier goes to this OUTPUT until another OUTPUT is found. Only the first OUTPUT specifier (implicitly: cumuluscharts.txt) accepts click events as defined by CONNECTSTO.
