Tool Description
- Show Grid - toggles mesh rendering
- Show Triangles - toggles triangle rendering - triangles are used for mesh resampling
- XMDF / DAT time units - tells TUFLOW Viewer the units of the mesh layer so the time slider can be set accordingly. TUFLOW Viewer will default to hours in most instances, however will make assumptions when seconds is an appropriate unit to use. Users can switch the setting at any time and TUFLOW Viewer will update the time slider.
- Auto Play Speed - the speed at which the time slider will auto progress when the play
button is pressed
- Live Map Tracking - Toggles live cursor tracking - see relevant link at the bottom of the page
- Display Time Series X-Axis as Dates - Toggles date-time format
- Display Format - Changes the plot date-time format (doesn't change the date-time format displayed in the time box)
- Zero Date - Changes the zero date-time - see relevant link at the bottom of the page for more information
- X-Axis Label Rotation - changes the rotation of the x-axis tick labels when displaying as dates
- Resolution - Deprecated setting since TUFLOW Viewer 3.1.0. Previously this would control the mesh sampling interval along plotting lines (e.g. along a cross-section line). Since 3.1.0 TUFLOW Viewer will calculate mesh intersections with the plotting line and use mid-way points to extract mesh information. This was done to improve extraction from variable mesh results e.g. Quadtree and FV. Note: some mesh results store information on the mesh face as opposed to the mesh vertices (mesh face in this context refers to the cell area as opposed to cell sides) and TUFLOW Viewer will use the raw mesh face results and not the resampled vertex information.
