Re: How to put a weather widget in Inkscape?

You can use Custom HTML component (Library/GENERAL/). Add the component to your HMI source svg and edit it by pressing Ctrl+E, move to tab "Options" and paste html code of your desired widget into "html" parameter.

See attached zip archive with sample svg file including weather widget from AccuWeather.com:

weather_widget_example.zip

Hope it helps. Let us know if you have any troubles.

Hi,

yes you can put (almost) any HTML object into svg using Custom HTML component (as mentioned above). However you can't connect from Custom HTML component to any part of REX Control System for now. So it is worth to use it only for some stand-alone components - such as weather widget (without any interaction to REX).

You can for example use components from GENERAL library such as Input, Button or ComboBox (according to your specification - ListBox, Button, Inputbox).
