## Basic Usage

Place the 5 font files and the main `weather-icons.min.css` file in your project, with the assumption that the fonts are located up `../` from your CSS directory.

The icons are displayed by using an `i` element and adding the base class `wi` and then the icon class you want, such as `day-sunny`. This then looks like `<i class="wi wi-day-sunny"></i>`.

To add a modifier, include the class you want after the icon name, which looks like `<i class="wi wi-day-sunny wi-flip-vertical"></i>`. You can flip, rotate, or add a fixed width. See it all at [http://weathericons.io](http://weathericons.io).

## API Usage

This set includes companion CSS files for popular weather service API. Presently there are mappings for Forecast.io, Open Weather Map, World Alphaological Organization, Weather Underground, and Yahoo. Check the [API List](https://erikflowers.github.io/weather-icons/api-list.html) to see the class names.

## Wind Usage

To use the wind indicators, you must also use `weather-icons-wind.min.css` along with the default CSS file. To dispay a wind indicator, you must use the base class `wi` and `wi-wind`, and then include the towards/from direction you want, like `from-293-deg`. This ends up looking like . You can use any degree from 0 to 359 in this manner. **Note:** A "from" class has the point of the arrow at the opposite end of the degree. For example, a "from 90 degrees" icon would point to the 270 degree mark, wheras a "towards 270 degrees" would point at the same 270 degree mark.

Included in the set as well are aliases to point to cardinal directions. They work the same as degrees, for example `<i class="wi wi-wind towards-sse"></i>` would be an arrow pointing to the South by Southeast (roughly 158 degrees).
