arclance: Is there a way to just have the weather radar, apart from the rest of of your conkyWeather. Same size as in your conkyWeather?

Yes it can be moved fairly easily by editing some lines in the function that draws them.

function drawRad_Sat_Small(cr, blx, bly, localx, localy)
    local button_name = "small_Close/Wide"
    if (localx >= buttons[button_name]["bl_x"]) and (localx <= (buttons[button_name]["bl_x"] + buttons[button_name]["width"])) and (localy <= buttons[button_name]["bl_y"]) and (localy >= (buttons[button_name]["bl_y"] - buttons[button_name]["height"])) then
        if buttons[button_name]["state"] == 0 then
            buttons[button_name]["state"] = 1
        elseif buttons[button_name]["state"] == 1 then
            buttons[button_name]["state"] = 0
        end --# if buttons[button_name]["state"] == 0 then
    elseif buttons[button_name]["state"] == nil then
        buttons[button_name]["state"] = 0
    end --# if (localx >= buttons[button_name]["bl_x"]) and (localx <= (buttons[button_name]["bl_x"] + buttons[button_name]["width"])) and (localy <= buttons[button_name]["bl_y"]) and (localy >= (buttons[button_name]["bl_y"] - buttons[button_name]["height"])) then
    --####
    local radarImage_Path = nil
    local satteliteImage_Path = nil
    if buttons[button_name]["state"] == 0 then
        radarImage_Path = logDirectory.."/Images/radarImage_temp.gif."..string.format("%03i",updateCheck)
        satteliteImage_Path = logDirectory.."/Images/satelliteImage_temp.gif."..string.format("%03i",updateCheck)
    else
        radarImage_Path = logDirectory.."/Images/radarImage_Wide_temp.gif."..string.format("%03i",updateCheck)
        satteliteImage_Path = logDirectory.."/Images/satelliteImage_Wide_temp.gif."..string.format("%03i",updateCheck)
    end --# if buttons[button_name]["state"] == 0 then
    image({x=(923),y=(1),w=136,h=136,file=radarImage_Path})
    image({x=(923),y=(137),w=136,h=136,file=satteliteImage_Path})
    --cairo_select_font_face (cr, font, CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_NORMAL, CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL)
    --cairo_set_font_size (cr, fSize)
    cr = draw_shaded_text(cr, (updateCheck + 1), 925, 12, {color1_R,color1_G,color1_B,color1_A}, {color3_R,color3_G,color3_B,color3_A})
    cr = draw_shaded_text(cr, (updateCheck + 1), 925, 149, {color1_R,color1_G,color1_B,color1_A}, {color3_R,color3_G,color3_B,color3_A})
    return cr,blx,bly
end --# function drawRad_Sat_Small(cr, blx, bly)

This is one of the functions that I need to unhardcode before I can make the script resizable.

These lines control the position of the images.

    image({x=(923),y=(1),w=136,h=136,file=radarImage_Path})
    image({x=(923),y=(137),w=136,h=136,file=satteliteImage_Path})

Change the x=() and y=() values to change their positions.
You can change the position of the index numbers by changing these lines.

    cr = draw_shaded_text(cr, (updateCheck + 1), 925, 12, {color1_R,color1_G,color1_B,color1_A}, {color3_R,color3_G,color3_B,color3_A})
    cr = draw_shaded_text(cr, (updateCheck + 1), 925, 149, {color1_R,color1_G,color1_B,color1_A}, {color3_R,color3_G,color3_B,color3_A})

The two settings after (updateCheck + 1) control their position.
You will probably need to change the size of the conky window in the .conkyrc when you do this.

When you do that you will need to change how far from the top of the conky window the script starts.
You can do that by editing the "local bly = 24" value in this section of the script.

    --######### Line 1 (Scrolling Alert) ##############################
    local blx = 0
    local bly = 24

Thanks mrpeachy, I downloaded the files you have at #! and am gonna try out the example and see if I can't get it to do what I want. Hopefully this doesn't require too much more tweaking of voffsets and goto(s). I hate how editing one leads to fixing another and then finding a balance between them all.


Well I thought I read that there was a test file, but the file is blank except for a ${goto}${cpu} line, I ran that and it just showed numbers near the top of my screen. It's beyond my scope of reasoning I suppose. I'll look for someone who has already implemented this stuff and hopefully I can at least figure out what to copy and paste.

Thanks arclance. This will give me something to gnaw on for a little while.

v9000 is all setup in lua script.... in the conkyrc the lua scripts are run
currently there is this

lua_load ~/v9000/v9000.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre weather
lua_load ~/v9000/weather_testing.lua

TEXT
${goto 230}${cpu}

weather_testing.lua is a script that outputs all the data that v9000 can output
so if you saw numbers and icons etc then that is a good sign that things are working

replace the line

weather_testing.lua

with

wether_script.lua

or

s11template.lua

and you will see the data organized into a display

you can remove the goto and cpu from the conkyrc, but keep a blank line under TEXT

Thats what i thought would happen, instead I got an error. Terminal output showed "Conky: llua_do_call: function conky_weather execution failed: attempt to call a nil value" repeatedly.


Oops, I forgot to update the name of the called script.
Well still getting the error.

I tried it without editing anything other than changing to s11template.lua and weather_script.lua and both produce the same error.

if you could do the following

start the conky then killall conky once the error starts

then scroll up in the terminal to where conky was first started and post what you see down to where the nil error starts

I was just being an idiot as usual. Had moved the v9000 out of home directory. So here's the results, I kinda understand what the problem is, but not entirely.

xiaolin@Dojo:~$ conky -c ~/v9000/conky_weather
Conky: llua_load: /home/xiaolin/v9000/v9000.lua:8: attempt to concatenate local 'username' (a nil value)
Conky: desktop window (460006b) is subwindow of root window (b0)
Conky: window type - normal
Conky: drawing to created window (0x3400002)
Conky: drawing to double buffer

make sure the v9000 folder is back in your home directory - /home/username/v9000

seems like the command

os.getenv("USERNAME")

isnt returning your username

in v9000.lu edit line 7

local username = username

changing the second instance of username to you actual username in quotes
for you it would read

local username = "xiaolin"

[XiaolinDraconis]

curious, would changing this

local username = username
package.path = '/home/'..username..'/.v9000_config.lua'

to

local username = username
package.path = '/home/'username'/.v9000_config.lua'

possibly fix that?

no. the two dots is how you put things together in strings in lua for example

string1="hello"
string2="world"
string3=string1..string2
print (string3) --> helloworld

line 7 is in there specifically in case the os.getenv command doesnt work properly
