AMRDC Data Visualizer (powered by Apache ECharts)

Dynamic, zoomable graph of hourly Automatic Weather Station (AWS) data, by year. Supports overlaying multiple years' and/or stations' data.

Demonstration: https://amrc.ssec.wisc.edu/ograham/visualizer-echarts/

Setup Options

On the flask development server

Clone this repository, install the requirements, and run flask --app=visualizer run --debug.

On the production WSGI server gunicorn

Clone this repository, install the requirements, and run gunicorn visualizer:app.

As CGI on Apache (expect poor performance)

Clone this repository to a directory outside of the Apache document root.

Install the requirements to a virtual environment called venv:

command -v virtualenv > /dev/null || pip3 install virtualenv
virtualenv -m venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
deactivate

Finally, make a symlink to htdocs from inside the Apache document root. The Apache configuration will have to allow such links outside of the document root, as well as all rules in htdocs/.htaccess.

On amrc, the document root is /data/web/amrc/htdocs/ and we want the visualizer to appear at /ograham/visualizer-echarts/ on the web, so the linking command is ln -sT "$PWD/htdocs" /data/web/amrc/htdocs/ograham/visualizer-echarts.
