TUFLOW to GIS: Difference between revisions

The TUFLOW to GIS utility can output to grid format and also MapInfo and Shapefile format. For the MapInfo and Shapefile format this can be either as points, or as arrows.

 

=Running TUFLOW_to_GIS=

Simply double clicking on the TUFLOW_to_GIS executable will bring up a DOS prompt that that gives you some instructions on running the utility.<br>

For more common tasks a right click function can be setup in Windows to perform a particular conversion. FileMenuTools can be used to set custom right click functionality, the method is described in the [[Windows_Right_Click_Functionality| Windows Right Click Functionality]]. The '''Program''' input should refer to the location of the TUFLOW_to_GIS executable and the '''Arguments''' input should contain the desired option and then %FILENAMES%. For example <tt>-b -asc -TypeAll -max %FILENAMES%</tt> could be used to convert all of the "Maximums" data into gridded .asc format.

== Gridded Data ==

Vector outputs (e.g. velocity or flow) can be written as either points or arrows. Scalar outputs (e.g. depth or level) can be written as points. These can currently be written out in either MapInfo format (.mif) or ArcGIS shapefiles (.shp). The '''-mif''' flag is used to output in MapInfo format and '''-shp''' to output in shapefile format. Only one type (-mif or -shp) can be processed at a time, to output in both formats, use two entries in a batch file.
