This afternoon my Quad Core 3GHZ Desktop finally received the Windows 10 creator patch. It took my desktop more than 4 hours to install it. Why is a Windows 10 patch always so slow? If i upgrade a Raspberry Pi Quad Core 1.2GHZ Linux kernel it’s only take 10 minutes. Strange that low end linux hardware upgrades are must faster than high end Windows hardware. I think that the Microsoft staff must go on training to learn how to patch Operating Systems fast and without reboots 🙂

If you want to have a nice and clean Raspberry Pi Noobs installation. Execute te followings commands to remove unless tools:

sudo apt-get purge wolfram-engine (Reduce image size with 683MB)
sudo apt-get purge sonic-pi (Reduce image size with 151MB)
sudo apt-get purge scratch (Reduce image size with 93MB)
sudo apt-get purge scratch2 (Reduce image size with 147MB)
sudo apt-get purge scratch3 (Reduce image size with 147MB)
sudo apt-get autoclean

This initial Noobs image size will now be arround 4GB 🙂

I took me a while to understand how Google Charts can be extended with a zoom/drill in data set feature. You have to add then google.visualization.events.addListener method which fetch the selected datapoint of a graph. With some extra javascript code you can reload the chart with a more detailed dataset. See example below!

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["bar"]});
      google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
      function drawChart() {

      var options = {
          bars: "vertical",
          bar: {groupWidth: "90%"},
          legend: { position: "none"},
          vAxis: {format: "decimal"},
          isStacked:true,colors: ["#0066cc", "#808080"],vAxis: { format:"decimal", viewWindow: { min: 0, max: ".round($max_forecast+100)." } }, series: {
            3: {
                targetAxisIndex: 1
            }
          }
        };

        var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([['','Low (kWh)','Normal (kWh)','Solar (kWh)','Forecast (kWh)'],['2006',0,0,0,0],['2007',0,0,0,0],['2008',0,0,0,0],['2009',0,0,0,0],['2010',0,0,0,0],['2011',0,0,0,0],['2012',0,0,0,0],['2013',0,0,0,0],['2014',0,0,0,0],['2015',0,0,0,0],['2016',20,20,11,278.75]]);
        var chart = new google.charts.Bar(document.getElementById("chart_div"));
        chart.draw(data, google.charts.Bar.convertOptions(options));

        google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, "select", selectHandler);

        function selectHandler(e)     {
           var year = data.getValue(chart.getSelection()[0].row, 0);
           link("pid=30&eid=88&date="+year+"-1-1");
        }
      }

function link(value)
{
	var form = document.forms['plaatenergy'];
	var newInput = document.createElement('input');
	newInput.setAttribute('type','hidden');
	newInput.setAttribute('name','token');
	newInput.setAttribute('value',value);
	form.appendChild(newInput);		
		
	form.submit();
}
