TUFLOW Viewer - Using A Secondary Axis
Tool Description
It is possible to use a secondary axis when plotting various results together. The secondary axis can be used for any plotting type (e.g. Map Outputs, Time Series, Hydraulic Properties, Time Series, Cross-Sections etc.). The one exception is curtain plotting, this will only ever be drawn on the primary axis. The vertical profile will use a secondary X axis, all other plotting types will use a secondary Y axis.
To use a secondary axis:
- In the Result Type widget, click the secondary axis icon
next to the result(s) type that should be placed on a secondary axis. An alternative approach is to right-click the result type and checking on Secondary Axis.
- Initiate the plot by the standard process, or by refreshing the plot
(the plot should automatically refresh when the secondary axis is activated).
- All instances of that result type should now be displayed on a secondary axis.
To plot flux on the secondary axis, use the button next to the plot flux button:
Since v3.7.0.23 it is possible to switch the secondary axis type (i.e. switch between using a secondary y-axis and using a secondary x-axis). This can be done by right clicking the plot window and selecting 'Switch Secondary Axis'. This is particularly useful when plotting 1D hydraulic property tables along side their cross-sections as the y-axis is constant in this case.
