Using the AllisonHouse option for METARS, isn't there a way to display the temp etc outside the icon for the METAR? I have (as you can see) the little wind flag working and specified display everything, but it isn't. Anyone?

GIS -> Settings -> Background

The coordinates should be in the .zip download

GR3 is a great program but a good help file is severely lacking.

That's what I was noticing. I've already seen several things that need a little work IMHO. I've also seen the custom logos but how would you add it to the image? Anyone using the carterlake script to add metar temps? I get the error on line 2 message.

Find the logo you want to use
Rename it "logo.png"
Place it in the "GRLevel3" folder (inside "GRLevelX", inside "Program Files")

More info here: http://www.allisonhouse.com/grlevelx/manual/grlevel3/

And on the GRLevelXStuff site!!!!

3. Are/can they be animated?


You can also use JavaScript, but I like CNYWeather's method better on a page dedicated to only showing the radar.

To show an animated thumbnail view on my home page I use this (it's showing the latest image twice for clarity)
Code: [Select]
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
 
if (document.images) { // Preloaded images
demo1 = new Image();
demo1.src = "kiln_br1_0.jpg";
 
demo2 = new Image();
demo2.src = "kiln_br1_9.jpg";
 
demo3 = new Image();
demo3.src = "kiln_br1_8.jpg";
 
demo4 = new Image();
demo4.src = "kiln_br1_7.jpg";
 
demo5 = new Image();
demo5.src = "kiln_br1_6.jpg";
 
demo6 = new Image();
demo6.src = "kiln_br1_5.jpg";
 
demo7 = new Image();
demo7.src = "kiln_br1_4.jpg";
 
demo8 = new Image();
demo8.src = "kiln_br1_3.jpg";
 
demo9 = new Image();
demo9.src = "kiln_br1_2.jpg";
 
demo10 = new Image();
demo10.src = "kiln_br1_1.jpg";
 
demo11 = new Image();
demo11.src = "kiln_br1_0.jpg"
 
 
}
 
function timeimgs(numb) { // Reusable timer
thetimer = setTimeout("imgturn('" +numb+ "')", 900);
}
 
function imgturn(numb) { // Reusable image turner
if (document.images) {
 
if (numb == "11") { // This will loop the image
document["demo"].src = eval("demo11.src");
timeimgs('1');
}
 
else { document["demo"].src = eval("demo" + numb + ".src");
 
timeimgs(numb = ++numb);
}
}
}
 
// -->
</script> <a href="/radarloop.php"><img name="demo" src="kiln_br1_0.jpg" title="Click for Full Size Radar Loop" alt="Local Doppler Radar Display" width="300" height="180" border=0></a><script type="text/javascript">timeimgs('1');</script>

I use Level 3 also.

Thats a very nice script. I hope it's ok I'm using it on my home page now.

From Springfield, Missouri




From Norman/Oklahoma City, Oklahoma




These storms were caused by the same system that is bringing me 10 degree temps, 30 mph winds, and below zero wind chills. And very little snow.

It's only New Years Eve and there's already that spark of excitement in me wanting more severe weather (even though it can kill, or potentially damage and/or injure).

I have a little script running on my opening page, it has a current thumbnail of the GRLevel3 loop, if you click on it it brings up a full size image.

This one falls under the "junk/random" category - It's 4 frames showing a flock of birds leaving Port Union (north of Cincinnati), Ohio last week.
Unfortunately even the jpg version was too big to attach here - so here's a link to the png version: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30112397@N06/5325535883/

I've seen similar events on radar before. In my college town there are birds galore (and bugs…especially in the late summer). I see them on radar at just around sunrise and again around sunset.

And then there's a Texas radar catching bats being sucked in by a meso.

Our local NWS office has a page showing several radar animations of birds in the morning.

If you guys are going to be posting pages full of images, you really need to work on image compression and resizing.

Images in Post 134 above total almost 4Mb

Total page weight is closer to 10Mb, maybe over.  I've seen downloadable programs that are lighter weight.

As far as I can see, there is NO reason at all to post any image that is .png, in fact, I'd like to see the board limited to  .jpg and .gif only.

Nor is there any reason to post any image over 100Kb, preferably they should be less than 75K.
