layer Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Hey guys, some of you may remeber, when I posted a very slopy Dopplar radar script. It was last Winter I beleive. Well, I basically use it everyday, it has proved itself very useful, so i decided to clean it up a bit I know I could "add" stuff to it, but it's much cleaner now, and functions correctly... Have a look, nice and simple, the way I like it.Global $echo $gui = GUICreate("Dopplar Radar", 700, 485) GUISetState() InetGet("http://image.weather.com/web/radar/us_nyc_closeradar_large_usen.jpg", @TempDir & "\dopplar.jpg", 1, 0) GUICtrlCreatePic(@TempDir & "\dopplar.jpg", 0, 0, 700, 485) AdlibEnable("_GetEcho", 30000) While 1 $get = GUIGetMsg() If $get = -3 Then Exit WEnd Func _GetEcho() InetGet("http://image.weather.com/web/radar/us_nyc_closeradar_large_usen.jpg", @TempDir & "\dopplar.jpg", 1, 0) GUICtrlSetImage($echo, @TempDir & "\dopplar.jpg") EndFunc ;==>_GetEcho Func OnAutoItExit() GUIDelete($gui) FileDelete(@TempDir & "\dopplar.jpg") EndFunc ;==>OnAutoItExit Comments, suggestions, criticism, all will be taken!

MSLx Fanboy Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Not bad, would it be possible to get the radar scope of an area based on zip code maybe? (I don't know how weather.com does their thing) Writing AutoIt scripts since _DateAdd("d", -2, _NowCalcDate()) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layer Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 I'll get back to you when I got home and see what I can do! Sorry, we're leaving to go golfing! (I don't really like golfing that much, it's OK, but, me and my sister made a money bet, so I'm in ) FootbaG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSLx Fanboy Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 (edited) I went over to weather.com, and apparently with the url format http://www.weather.com/weather/map/32701, you can plug in any zip code, and it will pull up the 600-mile dopplar on the page, then just use InetGetSource and then InetGet for the image? That or a COM object...(dev forum I believe)Edit:Ok, I've been playing with it (I have nothing else to do ) and have a working version, but it isnt' as fast as your version, it has to download two pages to get the url)I've attached a working version, all it needs is a zip code. I'll let you pretty it up if you want...I'm too lazy and just did InputBox and what not...radar.zip Edited July 17, 2005 by MSLx Fanboy Writing AutoIt scripts since _DateAdd("d", -2, _NowCalcDate()) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layer Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hmm... This looks like a tough one. I thought it'd be easier, quite the opposite... FootbaG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSLx Fanboy Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Yea, they use frames, and unfortunately, the frame containing the image does not have any direct use of the zip code in it's url...
