=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>
The most common way to run the utility is from a batchfilebatch file. This allows the user to process multiple outputs at once. A batch file is simply a plain text file containing one or more lines that execute a utility as per the example sections below.<br>

==Point and Vector 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 batchfilebatch file.
