Conky--Reverse downloadspeed graph direction

[all41]

Just a standard download speed graph in the form of:

Code: Select all

#Download speed graph ******************************************
${alignr}${downspeedgraph eth0 60,395}
${color2}Download               Total   ${totaldown eth0}${alignr}Rate   ${downspeedf eth0} KiB/s

I would like to reverse the motion so the most recent events appear on the left end of the graph and move
toward the right end---like an oscilloscope presentation.
Can this be done?

I don't know of a way to do it with native conky commands but it can be done with LUA scripts. Start here with wlourf's graph-widget. Pretty powerful script that.

A negative scale ... ?

Someone asked about that not to long ago ... I'm not sure ... check the links. Something in my head is going - yes, I've seen that too!

Here's a nice link for someone wanting to learn a little LUA for conky

HOW TO : using lua scripts in conky
Unfortunately the #! forum is locked down in read only mode now but it's still a GREAT resource.

Looking at the "graph-widget" I linked to earlier I see:

Another parameter is inverse, if set to true, the graph is drawn from right to left

So that answers that question. Yes, all41, it is possible.
