This tool offers a basic graphical user interface for the TUFLOW Utilities. Users can choose to use the interface for common use cases or use the advanced tab to use batch file commands directly. The tool also has a convenient option to automatically download the latest version of each utility.

Running the Tool

The tool can be found in the TUFLOW Plugin toolbar, or via the QGIS menu Plugins >> TUFLOW >> TUFLOW Utilities.

Common Functions

Prior to running any of the tools, the tool must have access to the TUFLOW Utilities. This is done via the Executables tab.

The available utilities for Common Functions can be selected via the "Utility" dropbox at the top of the dialog. All utilities have optional output options:

  • Output Directory - directory to write the tool outputs. This option will generally not have affect unless an output name is also specified.
  • Output Name - output name of tool outputs. This can be specified independently of an output directory. (Note: prior to version 3.3 of the TUFLOW Plugin, output name required an output directory as well)
  • Save as Batch File - Saves the next run function as a batch file. The batch file will be saved into the output directory if one is specified, otherwise it will be saved to the same location as the other outputs.


Asc_to_Asc
Asc_to_Asc supports ASC and FLT raster formats. The following functions are available for asc_to_asc:

  • Difference - Takes the difference between 2 grids. Must specify an input for "Grid 1" and "Grid 2". More information...
  • Maximum - Computes the maximum of all input grids for each grid cell. Must add at least one grid via "Add Grids To Function". More information...
  • Statistics - Computes a range of statistics of all input grids for each grid cell. Must add at least 2 grids via "Add Grids To Function". More information...
  • Convert - Converts all inputs grids between ASC and FLT (the output format is dependent on the input format). Must add at least one grid via "Add Grids To Function". More information...
