Using weather components in Px views
The weather module supports “drag and drop” usage of some weather components directly onto Px pages, providing iconic views.
Figure 2. Drag and drop component on Px view example (WeatherReport for Current Weather View)
The image above shows a WeatherReport dragged onto a Px page, with the resulting Make Widget dialog and default selection (Current Weather View ). After adding and at runtime this appears as shown below.

Icons change with weather conditions (along with text) as needed to track characteristics like fair, overcast, cloudy, rain, wind, night time, and so on. The following weather components provide this “drag and drop” Px support:
- WeatherReport — for the Current Weather View (as shown in example above).NOTE: A WeatherReport also provides a “Current Air Quality View”, including drag-and-drop support onto a Px page.
- Current, Today, Tomorrow, <daysOfWeek> — for a Forecast View.
- MoonPosition — for a Moon View. This component is unrelated to any specific WeatherReport.
