Observations

• More general plotting, all parameters in data source available
• Move parameter definitions to the setupfile

move the definitions to the setupfile

name=
sources=<list of sources defined OBSERVATION_FILES>
plottype=synop|metar|list
options=(misc in ObsManager)
parameters.begin
dialogname= id:key:method:calc:precision:tooltip
parameters.end

• dialogname - name of parameter used in dialog and command string
• id - needed in synop/metar plot. id=TTT means that this parameter should be plotted in the TTT position
• key - key used by the data source. bufr: descriptor, ascii: name of column,
• method - how to plot the value - number, weathersymbol, cloudsymbol, etc
• calc - change unit, height of clouds m→code
• precision - number of digits

foreach(parameter)
  plotParam(value,method,xpos,ypos,alignment)

To be removed, use plotList

• Minor changes map[id]=dialogname

• Criteria limits
  • today - each parameter gets reasonable value limits in initDialog
  • suggestion - use LineEdit, not slider in the dialog

• parameters like
  • precip last x hours
  • max wind/temp last x hours
• Possible solution:
  • change map<string,float> in ObsData to map<string,some struct containing the info needed>

• Dialog layout
