TUFLOW Viewer - Batch Exporting Plots: Difference between revisions

TUFLOW Viewer offers a tool to batch export plots using a vector layer as the plot location selection object. Thisthe tool includes the ability to plot from results that have not been loaded into QGIS yet.<br>

The tool will use whatever the current plot settings areat whenthe ittime exportsof the plotexport request for all outputs. This includes line styles, axis settings, and legend settings. TheAs exportan alternative to exporting images, the tool can also be toexport csv files, in which case the plot settings won't have any effect on the export. The tool currently only supports the standard time series (from a point layer) or standard cross-sections (from a line layer).<br> It does not support Isodate (date-time) formats.<br>

<li> '''GIS Layer''': Vector layer containing featuresobjects useddefining forthe extractinglocation where results are to be extracted from.

<li> '''Name Attribute''': Name attribute field used as file name for export and chart title. If '''-None-''' is selected, the tool useuses the feature FID.

<li> '''Result Mesh''': Mesh layers to extract data from. CanYou can choose to add from a file that is not yet loaded into QGIS. Only results that are selected in the list will be processed.

<li> '''Add from a file''': Button to browse to results that are not already present in QGIS. If no result layer atis all iscurrently present in QGIS, '''Result Types''' and '''Timestep''' comboboxesoptions below are not populated. ItAs such, it is recommended that at least one result layer is loaded so that these are populated, whichmaking makesselection selectingof appropriate options in the following fields easier.

<li> '''Result Types''': Result types for plotting (e.g. bed elevation, water level). Can select from the dropdown if results are loaded in QGIS or user can type them (for more than one, separate result types with ';;' (e.g. Water Level;;Velocity).

<li> '''Time Step''': Output time step for cross section plotting (not used for time series). Required for cross-sections. If no results are present in QGIS, thenthe user will need to input a timestep manually.

<li> '''Export''': Choose either all features or only currently selected features (in the QGIS map window) to iterate through.

<li> '''Format''': Choose either CSV or Image.

<li> '''Output Folder''': Folder location for outputs.
