Re: [Flightgear-devel] fgplot / currently active canvas developers?

[Torsten D. <to...@t3...>]

Hi Henning,

sorry, no documentation.
You find the property plotter here:
- start fgfs with --httpd=8080 (or any other port)
- open browser at http://yourfgmachine-or-localhost:8080/
- click Tab "Simulator"
- Select button "Properties"
- Navigate the property tree to the property of interest
- click the little image symbol just left of the properties value
- you have your plot

The code lives in $FGDATA/data/Phi/topics/Simulator/Properties.[js|html]
You need some background knowledge of http://knockoutjs.com/ (HTML data
binding) and http://www.flotcharts.org/ (Chart drawing)

Let me know if you need some more information

Torsten
