TUFLOW Viewer - Map Outputs - Curtain Plot
Tool Description
Similar to the cross-section plotting tool, it extracts section results along a polyline from the map outputs. The plot will represent a given result type along the line using a colour ramp. However, unlike the cross-section plot, the curtain plot will include results from all vertical layers. For TUFLOW Classic/HPC models, there will only be one vertical layer, however for 3D outputs from TUFLOW FV, it will extract results down the vertical profile as well as along the section line.
The tool will plot data from the current timestep, or maximum data if the result type has maximum toggled on. Vector results can also be displayed in the curtain plot and will be displayed as vector arrows. Vector direction displayed in the curtain plot is relative the drawn section line. For example, if flow is travelling perpendicular to the drawn line, the vectors in the curtain plot will have no length (or be very small).
It is recommended that users should only plot one result type at a time with curtain plots except when plotting a scalar result with a vector result.
