This used to be just the code from wmSun warmed over and stuffed into the gkrellmoon plugin. Now it's got a bit more original stuff in it. But it's also got a bit more of gkrellmoon, too. So it's still mostly from somewhere else. The gkrellsun plugin displays the sunrise and sunset times for the specified latitude and longitude in the current timezone. It also displays a graph showing the trajectory of the sun across the sky (at both the current latitude and longitude and as it would appear if it went directly overhead at solar noon). Finally, it displays a little rising and setting moon. The suninfo program prints the sunrise and sunset times on stdout. If you use the -v option, it prints a bunch of other stuff, too. The gkrellsun plugin now has several options: * Latitude/Longitude in decimal degrees This indicates your position on the earth. If you don't know your position, these sites may help you figure it out: World: http://www.calle.com/world/ USA: http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/gazetteer Info: http://www.wunderground.com * UVSUN/ORANGESUN You can select one of two solar images. You can also specify the font and color of the sunrise/sunset/ETA information. * Use 24 hour clock Display times of day in 24 hour style instead of am/pm style * Show relative position This option controls the display of a little sun icon on the panel. If show relative position is enabled, a small "star" will be drawn on top of the display. The star will progress from left to right across the display as the day passes. Its height is calculated according to the sun's relative altitude in the sky. On a day when (and at a position where) the sun will be directly overhead at solar noon, this star will follow a semi-circular course passing through the center of the display. On all other days, it'll follow a "flattened" circle across the display. * Show sun rise/set ETA If this option is enabled, the estimated time of arrival of sunrise will be shown before the sun rises and the ETA of the sunset will be shown after the sun has risen. * Show path If this option is enabled, a dotted line is added to the display showing the arc that the star follows across the display (see "Show relative position") * Show apogee path If this option is enabled, a dotted line is added to the display showing the "apogee sun" arc. That is, the path that would be followed if the sun were to pass directly overhead at solar noon. * Show mini moon If this option is enabled, a small moon image is displayed on the right hand side of the sun image if the moon is visible in the sky. The phase of the moon and it's relative altitude in the sky are thus shown along with the sun info. * Change to moon at night If this option is enabled, the moon will be displayed by default between sunset and sunrise. * Minutes to toggle between Sun and Moon images (0 to disable). If you specify a non-zero value here, the sun and moon will alternate every "n" minutes (where "n" is the number of minutes you specify. You can switch between the sun and the moon at any time by clicking on the display.
