Skycons ======= Skycons is a set of ten animated weather glyphs, procedurally generated by JavaScript using the HTML5 canvas tag. They're easy to use, and pretty lightweight, so they shouldn't rain on your parade: <canvas id="icon1" width="128" height="128"></canvas> <canvas id="icon2" width="128" height="128"></canvas> <script> var skycons = new Skycons({"color": "pink"}); // on Android, a nasty hack is needed: {"resizeClear": true} // you can add a canvas by it's ID... skycons.add("icon1", Skycons.PARTLY_CLOUDY_DAY); // ...or by the canvas DOM element itself. skycons.add(document.getElementById("icon2"), Skycons.RAIN); // if you're using the Forecast API, you can also supply // strings: "partly-cloudy-day" or "rain". // start animation! skycons.play(); // you can also halt animation with skycons.pause() // want to change the icon? no problem: skycons.set("icon1", Skycons.PARTLY_CLOUDY_NIGHT); // want to remove one altogether? no problem: skycons.remove("icon2"); </script> Skycons were designed for [Forecast](http://forecast.io/) by those wacky folks at The Dark Sky Company, and were heavily inspired by Adam Whitcroft's excellent [Climacons](http://adamwhitcroft.com/climacons/). The source code has been released into the public domain, so please do with it as you see fit! ♡ |
