I was planning to add a new graph to Seasons skin and edited the skins.conf by uncommenting the example:
# [[[yearhilow]]]
# [[[[hi]]]]
# data_type = outTemp
# aggregate_type = max
# label = High
# [[[[low]]]]
# data_type = outTemp
# aggregate_type = min
# label = Low TemperatureNothing.
- I restarted weewx - nothing. No errors in the log
- cleared out browsers cache - nothing
- I deleted everything from /html - it was regenerated as expected but no new graph.
- I even updated to new version of weewex :) - nothing
I am out of ideas.

Edit: Your best bet would probably be to read the next post first. :???:
I'll see if I can mess you up again.
Here is what I have, you can delete the freeze line of course:
# Plot of high/low outdoor temperatures
[[[yearhilow]]]
[[[[freezeLine]]]]
data_type = 32
label = ' '
color = 0x42b442
[[[[hi]]]]
data_type = highOutTemp
aggregate_type = max
label = High Outside Temperature
color = 0x4242b4
[[[[low]]]]
data_type = lowOutTemp
aggregate_type = min
label = Low Outside Temperature
color = 0xb48242
This is my result:

But as I recall I also had to add the columns highOutTemp and lowOutTemp to the database as I read from the archives instead of loop on my VP and have a fairly long archive interval and would otherwise miss some highs and lows, so as I say, I may be messing you up again. I don't know why the example isn't working.

Maybe try adding this in the appropriate place in the "index.html" file for the Seasons skin:
<img src="yearhilow.png" alt="$obs.label.hilowTemp" />

There is absolutely no need to screw around with index.html. It's a generated file and is based on skin templates etc.
Took a closer look of the skin.conf file and found this interesting and undocumented (in customizing.htm) configuration option:
plot_groups =
Added my "hilow" to it and that was it.
No idea how I missed this in the first place. Wasted like an hour on this. LOL.

Interesting. There is no plot_groups = in my skin.conf. It appears to have been added later as I chose to keep my current file through upgrades.
Whatever I did worked for me, and has lasted through upgrades. I've also reordered the graphs, among other things.
So I'll screw around with what a want to. I've learned from the docs, experimentation, and sometimes from reading the WeeWX users group, and yes, sometimes it's taken me some time.

It seems that weewx cant do simple calculations like 22-0.4 (Inside temp - Outside temp)
Chart shows a value of ~43 C

It was added in weewx 4.6.0 in Nov 2021. Looks like the old name was 'plot_names' from poking around in the git repo.

I have no idea what you're talking about there. In a plot via skin.conf or in a Cheetah template like index.html.tmpl ?

Thanks Vince. There's no "plot_names" in my skins.conf either, it must have been added later too, I'm not seeing it in the 3.9 version where the Seasons skin was first released and when I first started using Seasons. I see it is in the skin.conf.dpkg-dist for my latest installed version.
I appreciate WeeWX is being improved, and I've enjoyed tweaking it (or screwing with it :lol:) to suit myself.

Well 4.0 came out almost 3 years ago, so I can't speculate any more on the ancient versions....

](*,) I do not want to change how the skin looks like so I there is no need to edit any of the .tmpl files.
What's plotted is configured via skins.conf.
[[[[diff]]]]
data_type = inTemp-outTemp
label = Inside - Outside
The result of this calculation is wrong as I stated before.

Looks reasonable when I add the same plot...

I am not surprised if there is a bug and "diff" used F and not C for who knows what reason.
