TuPlot

THIS PAGE IS PRESENTLY BEING UPDATED

Introduction

The TuPlot functionality is a python based tool for plotting inputs and output from TUFLOW. For the 2016 version of TUFLOW a new output format was made available, this has the following changes from previous versions:

• Combines the 1D results, 2D plot outputs and new reporting location data
• The outputs are stored in a separate Plot folder in the TUFLOW results directory
• .tpc (TUFLOW Plot Control file links to data in csv and gis folders
• Has additional Node and Channel information files contain connectivity information

This is the default approach for the 2016 version but can be modified with the TUFLOW command "Output Approach == Pre 2016" (refer to the manual for more information on this command.
The TuPlot utility is currently available as part of a QGIS plugin, however, future plans include extending this to ArcMap and as a standalone viewer.

TUFLOW Python Results Library

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 TUFLOW results library for more information and examples of this.

Plotting Results

This plotting functionality is currently accessed via QGIS. Ensure that the QGIS plugin is installed via the instructions on the TUFLOW QGIS plugin page.
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.
