The TuPlot plotting utility relies on a python library '''TUFLOW_results2016.py''' for loading the TUFLOW results. This python based library can also be used to access TUFLOW results from python (outside of TuPlot). Please refer to [[Python_Library_TUFLOW_Results_2016 | python TUFLOW results library]] for more information and examples of this.
 
=QGIS TuPlot=
=Plotting Results=
This plotting functionality is currently accessed via QGIS. Ensure that the QGIS plugin is installed via the instructions <u>[[TUFLOW_QGIS_Plugin | on the TUFLOW QGIS plugin page]]</u>.<br>
Once this has been installed successfully QGIS can be open and the plugin accessed via the '''Plugin >> TUFLOW >> TuPlot''' menu item, or via the TuPlot button in the toolbar. The toolbar icon is shown below.<br>
