Line 1: = Description = ~~The~~ MapInfo and TUFLOW Productivity Utilities (miTools) is a MapInfo add-on that is available for download from the <u>[https://www.tuflow.com/downloads/#gis_tools TUFLOW website]</u>. MiTools have been developed specifically to improve the efficiency of setting up and reviewing TUFLOW models, as well as improving the day to day ease of using MapInfo Professional (MI Pro). The suite of utilities enables ‘automation’ of many of the common repetitive tasks, saving valuable time and therefore money. The utilities also allow the efficient creation and visualisation of key TUFLOW model inputs/outputs within the MapInfo environment. Other tools provide data checking and quality assurance functionality, thus helping to minimise modeling errors.▼ ▲The MapInfo and TUFLOW Productivity Utilities (miTools) have been developed specifically to improve the efficiency of setting up and reviewing TUFLOW models, as well as improving the day to day ease of using MapInfo Professional (MI Pro).

[[File: miTools_001.JPG]] Line 14 ⟶ 15: == Other Capabilities == * A cross-section editor to view and edit CSV format cross-sections. The utility includes a data management tool that tracks changes to the cross-section properties, as well saving backup files following each subsequent change. * A range of ~~ISIS~~Flood Modeller-TUFLOW related utilities (especially for UK customers) including a utility to extract cross-sections from an ~~ISIS~~Flood Modeller DAT format file into individual ESTRY format CSV files and a utility to name ~~ISIS~~Flood Modeller 1d_nwk channels the same as the upstream node ID. == TUFLOW Capabilities == Line 32 ⟶ 33: * ‘Increment’ the selected TUFLOW layer: The utility assists to ensure TUFLOW MI layers are correctly renamed and setup for editing in an efficient manner. * Label selected TUFLOW layer with associated elevation or invert data, to user specified formats with the click of a single button. The user can customise the number ofdecimal places displayed, the label styles (colour, options, size, font), as well as the visibility options for the labels (eg the zoom display range). * Filter TUFLOW layers: a utility to assist in dealing with large and complicated TUFLOW models. The utility will turn on or a specific layer types, as well as DEMs and images. The utility also has an option to group and sort TUFLOW layers in the current map window, based on the file type order ~~specifi�ed~~specified in a customisable .ini file. * Quickly turn on the borders of thematically mapped grid cells.
