The ChartsCompiler is the "next-generation" method of creating charts for websites on the basis of CumulusMX based systems. Charts are defined in a dedicated [[Charts Definition Language (CDL)|Charts Definition Language]] and compiled into a file (or files) containing both the HTML/javascript menu infrastructure as well as the Highcharts javascript code to create the charts. Data - in JSON files similar like those produced by CumulusMX - is assumed to be present in the directory from where the page is called. The ChartsCompiler gives the user the possibility to completely freely define and generate charts for all weather variables within CMX (including userdefined and derivatives) for within any website context. | The ChartsCompiler is the "next-generation" method of creating charts for websites on the basis of CumulusMX based systems.

One special feature for all charts in CumulusUtils is the possibility for the background image.

NOTES: | |||
#These JSON files specific to CumulusUtils '''always reside in the website root''' of CumulusUtils, even if you have more websites and defined the ''CumulusRealTimeLocation''. | |||
#To the above rule there is the exception of modular use: if the user decides to use CUtils a modular way it is possible to have a separate directory on the webserver below the webroot which contains the CUtils files for the modules in use. | |||
There are the following parameters for this in use: | |||
DoModular=false // When ''true'', CUtils is used in a modular fashion. Incompatible with the Website command | |||
ModulePath= // The path on the server where the CUtils specific JSONs will be uploaded to | |||
