The legend | Be aware that for the '''''Free axis''''', the user sees initially an entry in the section [Compiler] for ''ChartId''Dimensionless with the value Dimensionless. So for the ''SoilMoisture'' chart the Y-axis title will have an entry for ''SoilMoistureDimensionless'' with the value Dimensionless. Then the user has to translate this to e.g. ''Centibar'' or whatever unit the sensor has. | ||

The legend of the compiler charts however may require some user action. Because the legend is created from the reserved words of the plotvariables, some of which may be created by the user, the descriptions of the legend may become somewhat incomprehensible for the unknown website user. Therefore, the legend descriptions get their own entries in the language file in the section compiler. You can use those entries for translation and/or change of description. | |||
