178

TIP: Rain over time period on real time graph

To see the amount of rain fallen and the time period that it fell in do the following: while

viewing the real time graph, double click on the windspeed scale on the main screen graph

(or see under view), next hold down the left mouse button at the start of the rain, move the

mouse to the right and then release the mouse when the rain has stopped.

TIP: Web cam image at time of cursor on graph

If you have a web cam in use with Weather Display (or via the 3rd party web cam setup),

and you have selected the file to use for the animation in the web cam setup, and you have

turned on the switch in the time stamped setup TAB, and ticked, produce every minute,

then hold down the left mouse button as you move the mouse over the main screen graph,

to see the web cam image in a pop up window at that time that corresponds to the time on

the graph...and so you get a movie created...and you can even go backwards, etc.
