<p>Windrose plots are usually used to display values which are related to compass
|
||
directions. For example it could be used to illustrate measured wind strengths over a
|
||
time period in different directions. <a class="xref" href="ch21.html#fig.windrose-intro" title="Figure 21.1. An basic Windrose plot">Figure 21.1. An basic Windrose plot</a>

<p>Windrose plots puts data in a number of ranges (or buckets). The number of data points
|
||
in a certain bucket is visualized by the length of the particular bucket in that
|
||
direction. The input data specifies the percentage of the overall data that belongs to
|
||
one bucket in one specific direction. By default there are eight buckets with ranges
|
||
shown in <a class="xref" href="ch21.html#table.windrose-default-buckets" title="Table 21.1. Default windrose buckets">Table 21.1. Default windrose buckets</a>. The default ranges that

is shown in the legend is standard values used in displaying wind strengths. The values

in the legend (for the buckets) is purely informational since the actual display is
|

controlled by the input data that only specifies a bucket number and not any absolute

data values. See more on how to specify input data in ??</p>

<p>The default fonts for Windrose graphs are TTF fonts. This means that to run

the examples exactly as shown in this chapter TTF fonts must be installed. If

<p>Windrose plots also supports full image anti-aliasing to enhance the look and feel of

|
||
<p>Input data is in the form of a data array. Each entry in the array is itself
|
||
an array which gives the data for one direction. The data should be interpreted
|
||
as the percentage of the overall data that belongs to a certain direction and
|
||
bucket. This also means that the total sum of all data entries (for all
|
||
doirections) must be less or equal to 100. It can however be less than 100
|
||
(indicating that some data is lost). </p>
|
||
<p>The first bucket, bucket 0, specifies the 0-value, i.e. what part of the data
|
||
in that direction that has no measurement (e.g. it was wind still). Since wind
|
||
still has no direction all specified bucket 0 are summarized and displayed in
|
||
the inner circle.</p>
|
||
<p>By default the ranges displayed on the legend are:</p>
|

<p>0-1, 1-2, 2-3, 3-5, 5-6, 6-10, 10-13.5, 13-99</p>
|
||
<p>This means that the first element specify the percentage of 0-1 reading the
|
||
sum of these reading will be placed in the center of the windrose plot. The
|
||
second element specifies the percentage of 1-2 readings, the third element the
|
||
percentage of 2-3 readings and so on.</p>

<p>The library makes no data validation apart from checking that the

overall sum of the buckets can not be > 100%. It is up to the client to

make sure that the data specified makes sense.</p>

<p>If you specify a direction in the data for a compass directions that is not

displayed when using a regular Windrose plot you will get an error message to

that affect. </p>
|

<p>Below are some examples of how to specify the data which should clarify how
|

this works</p>

<p>This data array specifies reading in only one direction, "North", the
|
||
number of 0-readings are 2 percent, number of 0-1 readings are 5 percent
|

and the number of 1-2 readings are 6 percent. </p>

</p>
|
||
<p>This data array specifies readings in three directions. As shown it is
|
||
possible to mix both ordinal number for the axis as well as the symbolic
|
||
direction name. However, it is probably best to stick with one method at
|
||
a time for clarity.</p>

'North' (or 90 degrees) and finally 137 degrees. Please note that in

order to specify a fraction for an angle we must specify the direction

as a string value, i.e. '21.6'. This will then be handled automatically

be the library. </p>
