About

This repository contains two main modules:

climatogramme.js

Function for drawing climatograms. It get single argument which is an object containing settings and data:

let climatogramme = new Climatogramme(options)

All options with defaults are listed below:

{
	el: null, // containing element
	width: 400, // width of the generated image
	height: 600, // height of the generated image
	primaryTitle: '', // Title of the climatogram
	marginTop: 40,
	marginLeft: 40,
	marginRight: 40,
	marginBottom: 40,
	distanceBars: 0.1, // what portion of bars width to be set as distance
	precipitationBufferUp: 20, // minimum units to be set empty above precipitation bars
	temperatureBufferUp: 20, // minimum units to be set empty below temperature lines
	temperatureBufferDown: 10, // minimum units to be set empty above temperature lines
	labelTemperature: '°C',
	labelPrecipitation: 'mm',
	labelMeanTemperature: 'mean t',
	labelTotalPrecipitation: 'precipitation',
	labelAplitudeTemperature: 't aplitude',
	data: null, // data, see below
	whiteBackground: true // set white or transparent background
}

And data format:

{
    precipitation: [/* twelve month of data */],
    meanTemperature: [/* twelve month of data */],
}
