Downloads: A new file has been added by diablo_sv21:

BOM Radar

This is a plugin which I've designed to target Australian Radar Images supplied by the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM). Currently I've supplied links to all NSW and VIC radars but if you would like coverage of others I'm happy to add them.

You are also free to use this plugin to display what ever other images you like (be it radar images or not). You can add/remove images my the XML in the Images folder. I can add more info on this on request.

This plugin started out as more of a proof (or failure?) of concept. I wanted to make a scrolling control much like all the new touchscreen phones are doing. I've managed to do that, and it works fantastically outside Centrafuse but not so good within CF. I'm looking to improve performance as much as I can, especially if people are interested.

Here is a quick screenshot of the plugin, selected images display on the left, you can click the Image list title to select a different XML file. drag and slide the list to move it or use the page up/down buttons.

People will no doubt all experience different results, let me know what you think.

I changed the XML to reflect my radar location...the images are animated GIF's...they are animated when I save them to the PC, they are animated in my browser, but when they are displayed with this plugin, they are static, not animated...
I can't see why...any ideas?

Great work BTW!

Probably because CF doesn't support animated gifs.


The image might have to be displayed in a webbrowser control for it to be animated. (I am assuming a picture control is being used at the moment.)

Hmmm...I was thinking Diablo's original images were animated. I must be mistaken...

Yeah sorry the original images were not animated.

But I can look into them being animated... i should be able to do it without using a web control. Something for me to look in to, Cheers!

Tried the plugin with the provided images, this works OK,

but it can not show images like this :

http://m.buienradar.nl/m.aspx?f=1&id=2009311220

CF even freezes.

but it does display an image like this :

http://www.sat24.com/images.php?country=nl

has something to do with ASP(X) and PHP ?

also ... images do not keep their aspect ratio
(could be possibly solved by only specify height or width of the image, maybe even in the images XML ?)

Yeah, I didn't make any attempt to support different sized/aspect ratio images.

All of the BOM Radar images are the same size, so I got lazy.

I'm not sure why CF would freeze, that is really strange... it's just an image after all. Perhaps it will be happier when I add animated GIF support.

It sounds like people are interested, so in the next release I'll add support for images at a different aspect ratio. Images will still be enlarged to fit the full window (ie: Size won't be maintained)
