Re: Tweaking TrackNS

I also added a 'dotted line' track, and the size of the dot indicates the total count of APs being heard.

In the sample image, green indicates a 1 or more new AP found, and yellow is 1 or more existing (and 0 new). Dot size grows by (total APs / 2) pixels. I seem to recall that no more than 6 APs total were see at anytime when I created this sample. Dots are spaced 50ft apart.

The colors I picked suck, so I'm trying to find a set of colors that will work better.

I hope to post the new script soon.
Hmmm just a thought (and not being a good coder) have the colors go red on dots that a signal is below a certain level, yellow when its between 2 levels and green when its above a set level.. this way the viewer can see where on the path signals are best and etc....
