WMS:Gage Curves

Once a set of gages has been defined, one or more plots can be generated in the Hydrograph Window representing the variation vs. time of any of the transient data sets associated with grids interpolated to the gages. Up to five plots may be generated at once. Any combination of data sets can be displayed on a single plot. The curves are plotted only for gages which have been selected using the Select Gages tool. This makes it possible to quickly change the combination of curves plotted.

The Gage Plot Manager command in the Data menu activates the Gage Plot Manager dialog. The names of five plots are listed in the text box whether they are displayed or not. The word visible or hidden will appear beside each plot title indicating whether the plot is currently displayed in the Hydrograph Window. The titles of the plots are listed in the order that they are displayed. One of these plots is highlighted at all times.

To display a plot in the Hydrograph Window, first select the plot to be displayed in the text box, then select the Make Visible button. To hide the plot, select the Hide Plot button.

The Gages button in the Gage Plot Manager brings up the Gages dialog described above. This dialog can also be activated using the Gages command in the Data menu.

The Print button in the Gage Plot Manager prints a copy of the plots currently displayed in the Hydrograph window.

The Export WKS button exports a copy of the points used to create the plots in the plot window to a spreadsheet file. This allows more customization of the plots if necessary.
