==Map Outputs==
Map outputs are the 2D result outputs from TUFLOW (or 3D outputs from TUFLOW FV). Basic interaction with the map output results in TUFLOW Viewer are described below:

==Time Series Outputs==
Time series outputs are typically 1D result outputs from TUFLOW but can also include 2D time series results (plot outputs or reporting locations) if any exist. Time series results consist the reuslts and a GIS layer that the user can interact with to plot the results in TUFLOW Viewer.

==Particle Outputs==
Outputs from the particles module can be loaded into TUFLOW Viewer and viewed along side the hydrodynamic results. The below lists the basic interaction with particle outputs:

==Summary of Options==
Use the link below to see a list and description of the available setttings in '''Settings >> Options'''. Older versions of the plugin may look slightly different, however most options will still be available.

==Creating an Animation==
Animations can be exported from TUFLOW Viewer for all accepted result types (map outputs, time series, particles etc). The process for animation creation is the same regardless of the result type and leverages the QGIS print layout. The tool will export an image for each timestep in a given range and then use ffmpeg to convert the images into a video. TUFLOW Viewer offers the additional functionality of adding dynamic plots and dynamic time text. It also offers convenience functionality for adding items such as a legend, images etc, however these can also be added manually in the print layout.<br>

==Batch Exporting Maps==
TUFLOW Viewer offers the ability to batch export maps using mesh layers (does not support other result types yet e.g. time series, particles - it may be possible to use work arounds to get these types to work). This tool does not seek to replace other similar tools that may be inherently built in to QGIS, however does offer the ability to:
* automatically add plots from the mesh layer to the maps
