=About=
TUPLOT external is a 1D and 2D time series result viewer. It looks to provide the functionality of TUPLOT inthe QGIS TUPLOT plugin in an external program that can be called from other GIS platforms (e.g. ArcGIS).

The stand alone TuPLOT viewer uses Python (the package installed with ArcGIS) as a base for the viewer. ArcGIS and the TuPLOT viewer communicate using an interface file (*.int) that is written by ArcMap and read by TuPLOT. The *.int file is written automatically when TuPLOT is initiated and deleted when TuPLOT is closed. If TuPLOT crashes, the *.int file may not be deleted. If this occurs many times, a build up of *.int files may occur in the same folder as the *.tpc. The user should feel free to delete these manually if this occurs without fear of interfering the the TuPLOT viewer. The user may also manually select a desired *.int file using the <b>Set Interface File</b> button in the TuPLOT window, though generally this should not be required.
 
The stand alone TuPLOT viewer is also planned to be made available in both QGIS and Mapinfo.
