Weathermap editor with easy node move

[13hakta]

Hello! I've updated weathermap editor script for initiating node moving by dragging. So, it become easier to redraw even huge map. All is needed is to start dragging node and point the place where it should be located.

Is what you did possible, Howie?.

That's a working demo from 2008. The code doesn't work right now, but yes...

Hello,
Anyone have a working drag & drop for weathermap ? I tried this patch, also few tips I've found on this forum, but no joy. Moving tons of nodes every 5 min to align beautifull is starting to kill me .

I use relative positioning and cut&paste for this, personally.
