<listitem>Same as execbar, but graphs values. Uses a
logaritmic scale when the log option (-l switch) is given
(to see small numbers). Values still have to be between 0
and 100. The size for graphs can be controlled via the
default_graph_size config setting. Takes the switch '-t' to
use a temperature gradient, which makes the gradient values
change depending on the amplitude of a particular graph
value (try it and see). If -t or -l is your first argument,
you may need to preceed it by a space (' '). You may also use
double-quotes around the exec argument should you need to execute a
command with spaces. For example, ${execgraph "date +'%S'"} to execute
`date +'%S'` and graph the result. Without quotes, it would simply
print the result of `date`.

<listitem>Executes a shell command and displays the output
in conky. warning: this takes a lot more resources than
other variables. I'd recommend coding wanted behaviour in C
and posting a patch. This differs from $exec in that it
parses the output of the command, so you can insert things
like ${color red}hi!${color} in your script and have it
correctly parsed by Conky. Caveats: Conky parses and
evaluates the output of $execp every time Conky loops, and
then destroys all the objects. If you try to use anything
like $execi within an $execp statement, it will
functionally run at the same interval that the $execp
statement runs, as it is created and destroyed at every
interval.

<listitem>Renders an image from the path specified using
Imlib2. Takes 4 optional arguments: a position, a size, a
no-cache switch, and a cache flush interval. Changing the
x,y position will move the position of the image, and
changing the WxH will scale the image. If you specify the
no-cache flag (-n), the image will not be cached.
Alternately, you can specify the -f int switch to specify a
cache flust interval for a particular image. Example:
${image /home/brenden/cheeseburger.jpg -p 20,20 -s 200x200}
will render 'cheeseburger.jpg' at (20,20) scaled to 200x200
pixels. Conky does not make any attempt to adjust the
position (or any other formatting) of images, they are just
rendered as per the arguments passed. The only reason
$image is part of the TEXT section, is to allow for runtime
modifications, through $execp $lua_parse, or some other

Platform type is either 'in' or 'vol' meaning voltage;
'fan' meaning fan; 'temp' meaning temperature. Parameter n
is number of the sensor. See /sys/bus/platform/devices/ on
your local computer. The optional arguments 'factor' and
'offset' allow precalculation of the raw input, which is
being modified as follows: 'input = input * factor +
offset'. Note that they have to be given as decimal values

<para>The connection index provides you with access to
each connection in the port monitor. The monitor will
return information for index values from 0 to n-1
connections. Values higher than n-1 are simply ignored.
For the "count" item, the connection index must be
omitted. It is required for all other items.</para>

<option>Displays the local service name of the

</simplelist>
<para>Note that port monitor variables which share the
same port range actually refer to the same monitor, so
many references to a single port range for different
items and different indexes all use the same monitor
internally. In other words, the program avoids creating
redundant monitors.</para>

longer then the time it takes your script to execute. For
example, if you have a script that take 5 seconds to
execute, you should make the interval at least 6 seconds.
See also $execi. This object will clean up the thread when
it is destroyed, so it can safely be used in a nested

<para>Download, parse and display METAR data.</para>
<para>For the 'URI', there are two
possibilities:</para>
<simplelist>
<member>

<member>
http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/</member>
</simplelist>
<para>The first one is free to use but the second
requires you to register and obtain your partner ID and
license key. These two must be written, separated by a
space, into a file called .xoaprc which needs to be
placed into your home directory.</para>
<para>'locID' must be a valid location identifier for
the required uri. For the NOAA site this must be a
valid ICAO (see for instance
https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/qryhtml/icao/). For the
weather.com site this must be a valid location ID (see
for instance
http://aspnetresources.com/tools/locid.aspx).</para>
<para>'data_type' must be one of the following:</para>
<simplelist>
<member>
<command>last_update</command>
<para>The date and time stamp of the data.
The result depends on the URI used. For the
NOAA site it is date (yyyy/mm/dd) and UTC time.
For the weather.com one it is date
([m]m/[d]d/yy) and Local Time of the
station.</para>
