	Go to the next page of the graph view.
	Launches the Generate Scatter Graph dialog, allowing you to graph the data in a scatter graph. This type of graph can be used to look for a correlation between the two sets of data.
	Export Traces to CSV. Clicking on this button launches a standard Save As dialog so the user can specify a location and filename. Saving the traces to a CSV format allows graph data to be viewed in other applications.

InfoWorks networks only

The Data page is used for object per page and simulation per page reports only. It is used to define the source of the data to be displayed.

This section lets you define the sources of data displayed on the graphs.

• You can drag one or more simulations into the Sim box.

• You can drag as many selection lists as you want (optional) into the Selection List box. You can select individual objects in the list of selections by clicking on them.

  You can also use the button to include objects currently selected in the active network in the Selection List box.

• Results Analysis - Results Analysis items in InfoWorks networks can be dragged in the box of the same name (optional).
Tip

At least one selection list or one results analysis database item are required to generate a Simulation Per Page or Object per Page Custom Graph.

• In the boxes:
  • use the button to remove all or only selected objects from the list. If no items in the list are selected when the button is clicked, all items are removed.
  • use the button to browse the current master database. The Common Tree Selection Dialog is displayed.
  • use the button to add the objects currently selected in the active network to the Selection list box. An item called 'Current' is added to the end of the list. Note that this item will always appear at the end of the list, even when more selection lists are added.

The Layout page is used to set the parameters to plot on the Graph View and to specify how the graphed data is divided onto different pages. Each graph can display object parameters utilising both left and right axes. The format of the Layout Page will vary with the style of graph selected. See the sections below for more details:

InfoWorks networks only

Number of Graphs per Page

Set the number of graphs to be plotted per page. A tab for each graph will be displayed from which attributes to be plotted can be defined.

Show Rainfall

Check the Show Rainfall box to include the rainfall profile for each object being graphed.

Show Observed

Check the Show observed box to display TVD connector comparison results (applies when viewing simulations using TSDB data only).

Object Type

This drop-down box allows you to select which object type is to be graphed. The list of available types depends on the selection lists or result analysis objects dragged onto the Data Page of the Custom Graph view.

Graph Attribute Options

For each graph there is a tab for both the left axis and the right axis, from which the attributes to be plotted against each axis can be defined.

• Attribute for axis - select the attributes to be graphed against the selected axis. Only attributes of the same unit type will be plotted on the same axis. Once an attribute has been selected, selection of further attributes will be restricted to those attributes of the same unit type.
• Fixed Lines - select non time varying attributes to be graphed against the selected axis. Only fixed lines of the same unit type as selected attributes will be available for selection.

• use the button to browse the current master database for database items. The Common Tree Selection dialog is displayed.
• use the button to remove all selected objects from the list.
• use the button to add the objects currently selected in the active network to the Selection list box. An item called 'Current' is added to the end of the list. Note that this item will always appear at the end of the list, even if you add more selection lists.

Trace Properties

Validation is carried out in this section so that if data has been entered that cannot be plotted (for example an entry has been added with no location information, or no attribute information), the invalid cell will be highlighted red.

If plotting two attributes on the same graph (a graph is characterised by its page, Y-axis and graph number) and Y-axis, both parameters need to have the same unit.

Option	Description
Page	Page number in the report where the trace will appear.
Graph	Graph number on the defined page where the trace will appear.
Y-Axis	Left or right Y-axis on which the data is to be plotted.
Data Source	Dropdown list of simulations and Time Varying Data objects selected in the Data section. The selected item specifies the data to be used for creating the trace.
Location	Depends on the selected Data Source type: Sim - Dropdown list containing all of the objects present in the Selection List box. TVD - Dropdown list containing all of the profile names defined in the Time Varying Data object. Results Analysis - Dropdown list containing all of the objects present in Results Analysis box. The selected item specifies the data to be used for creating the trace.
Attribute	Dropdown list of attributes that can be graphed for the selected Data Source and Location. Sim - Dropdown list containing all of the available field data that are available for the selected data source and location. TVD excluding rainfall and pollutograph - This field cannot be specified as it is implicitly defined by the TVD object type. For example, an Observed Depth Event is comprised of only one attribute: Obs Depth. Rainfall and pollutograph - When the Data Source type is either a rainfall or an InfoWorks pollutograph event, the attribute must be specified before the location. Once the attribute has been specified, the location (i.e. profile name) can be specified. The selected item specifies the attribute to be used for creating the trace.
Threshold	Applies to Extreme Value Analysis reports only. The y-axis value below which a linear fitting approach will be used. The selected extreme values distribution will be fitted tot he data points above the threshold.
Thld Line	Applies to Extreme Value Analysis reports only. Select the threshold line colour. The threshold will be plotted on the graph as a horizontal line. A vertical line will be plotted at the point at which the curve crosses the threshold.
Distribution	Applies to Extreme Value Analysis reports only. Statistical distribution to which the episode peak values determined from the simulation results/time varying data and episode collection are fitted. There are four distributions to choose from: Generalized Extreme Value Generalized Logistic Generalized Pareto Weibull
Units	Read-only cell. Displays the type of units of the attribute to be graphed. The first trace defined for an axis determines the attributes that may be selected for additional traces on the same axis.
Style	The Style defines the visual properties of the trace. The cell background is coloured the same as the trace line colour. These properties may be set by pressing the button. This will display the Trace Style Dialog.
Sort	This button allows the grid to be sorted in ascending order by page, graph and y-axis.
Default Style	This button allows the specification of a default trace style that will be used for all traces for this report. Clicking on this button launches the Trace Style Dialog. When this dialog is open and the OK button clicked, the user will be asked whether or not to apply the line colours from the new default trace style to existing traces. The purpose of this functionality is to allow a user to change, for example, the line style for all traces, but to keep the existing trace colours.
Auto Colour	This button allows to define traces without regard to trace style. This command will automatically colour traces according to preset settings, making the colours unique either by page or graph. Clicking on this button launches the Auto Colour Traces Dialog.

Y-axis and graph properties

Option	Description
Page	Read-only property indicating the page number of the Y-axis.
Graph	Read-only property indicating the graph number of the Y-axis on the defined page.
Y-Axis	Read-only property indicating the location of the Y-axis (Left or Right).

Observed data

The observed data group contains the following:

• Flow Survey - Drag and drop one flow survey to be plotted from the Explorer Window.
• Auto-Map locations when new observed data is added - Indicates whether or not auto-mapping occurs when new observed data is placed on the droptarget. If this checkbox is ticked, the predicted location name is set to the observed location name in the Locations grid.
• In these boxes :
  • use the button to remove all selected objects from the list.
  • use the button to browse the current master database. The Common Tree Selection Dialog is displayed.
  • use the button to add the objects currently selected in the active network to the Selection List box. An item called 'Current' is added to the end of the list. Note that this item will always appear at the end of the list, even if you add more selection lists.

Observed events

When observed data (flow surveys) is specified, the events (or attributes) available for plotting are enabled. Setting the checkbox will plot a trace for the observed event on its event graph.

Predicted data

Drag and drop the simulation data to be plotted here.

Predicted events

When predicted data is specified, the events (or attributes) available for plotting are enabled. Setting the checkbox will plot a trace for the predicted event on its event graph.

Predicted locations

Locations

Each row in the grid represents one page on the observed / predicted report. This is known as the memory map. The memory map can either be automatically generated (see Auto-Map locations when new observed data is added checkbox described above) or manually specified.

• Observed location - corresponds to a unique profile name from the flow survey, across each specified observed event.
• Predicted location - dropdown list containing each link location in the specified predicted locations. It is also possible to manually specify a location by typing its name into the grid cell. The name typed-in should correspond to a unique object name from the simulation, across each specified predicted event.
• Rainfall profile - specifies the rainfall profile name to be plotted. You can use the context menu to set all rainfall profiles to the same profile. Right-click on a profile in the Rainfall Profile column to reveal this option.
• Upstream End - if the check-box is ticked, then data from the upstream link end is plotted, as opposed to the downstream link end, which is graphed by default. You can use the context menu to set all of the link ends to upstream or downstream. Right-click on a check box in the Upstream End column to reveal these two options.

Buttons

The following commands support the mapping function:

• Trace Properties - displays the Trace Properties dialog. Double click on a trace in the list to customise trace colour, style and title using the Trace Style Dialog.

  

  Note

  It is not possible to edit the trace titles for observed (rainfall, depth, flow and velocity) events.

  Click the Default button on the Trace Properties dialog to save the customised traces to be used as the default for all observed vs predicted custom graphs.

  Click the Revert button on the Trace Properties dialog to reset any changes made to the trace properties to the currently saved default properties.

• Clear - resets or clears the map.
• Auto-Map - resets the map and automatically generates it from the observed and predicted data (Same functionality as the Auto-Map locations when new observed data is added checkbox, that can be found in the Observed Data section).
• Load Map - allows the loading of a CSV file map by displaying a standard Window Open dialog. Only fields specified in the file map are loaded. For example, it is possible to create a file map of predicted locations only, which will only overlay the memory map with data from the file map.
• Save Map - allows to save the current memory map to a file map (CSV format).

The Properties page is used to define the display properties of the Y-axis and the graph for Observed / Predicted reports. For all other reports, the Y-axis and graph properties are specified in the Layout Page.
