GMS:2D Scatter Point Commands

The Scatter Point menu becomes available when the 2D Scatter Point module is active. The menu has one submenu: the Interpolation submenu. Below are the commands available in this menu.

• New Scatter Point Set

  Creates a new dataset.

• Lock All Scatter Points

  Prevents adjusting the location of scatter points.

• Scatter Point Settings...

  Opens the Scatter sets tab under the Preferences dialog.

• Find Point...

  User may find a point based on ID number or text label.

• Interpolation >
  • Interpolation Options...

    Opens the 2D Interpolation Options dialog.

  • Interpolate → Active TIN

    Interpolate the active dataset on the active scatter scatter set to the active TIN.

  • Interpolate → 2D Mesh

    Interpolate the active dataset on the active scatter scatter set to the 2D mesh.

  • Interpolate → 2D Grid

    Interpolate the active dataset on the active scatter scatter set to the 2D grid.

  • Interpolate → 3D Mesh

    Interpolate the active dataset on the active scatter scatter set to the 3D mesh.

  • Interpolate → 3D Grid

    Interpolate the active dataset on the active scatter scatter set to the 3D grid.

  • Interpolate → MODFLOW Layers

    Interpolate datasets on the active scatter scatter set to MODFLOW arrays like top and bottom elevation, starting head etc.

  • Gaussian Simulation Options...
  • Run Gaussian Simulation
  • Jackknifing...
  • Summary...

    Brings up the Jacknifing Summary dialog.

• Bounding 2D Grid...

  Creates a 2D Grid that bounds or contains all of the scatter points in the active set.

• Bounding 3D Grid...

  Creates a 3D Grid that bounds or contains all of the scatter points in the active set.

• Scatter Points → TIN

  Creates a TIN from the active scatter point set.

• Scatter Points → Mesh Nodes

  Creates nodes from the scatter points for a 2D mesh.

• Scatter Points → Obs. Pts.

  Creates Observation Points from the active dataset. A coverage that is set for observation data must already exist.

• Merge

  Merges points from selected scatter sets together to form one scatter set, combining datasets.

• Activate

  "Activates" selected scatter points by changing the active flags in the active dataset, or in all datasets. A dialog asks the user whether they wish to change only the active dataset or all datasets. If the datasets are transient, all time steps will be changed.

• Inactivate

  Same as the Activate command but in reverse. Inactive points can be selected only if they are displayed via the option in the Display Options dialog.
