Task A.2 – Reviewing the Project Settings
Shapefiles
Different types of shapefiles can be used for mass processing of times series sampling. A polygon shapefile and point shapefile are included in the HEC-MetVue project to use in later parts of this exercise for time series sampling.
The shapefiles have been preloaded into the Project Defaults and inherited by the Map Windows.
The shapefiles source files are located in the "..\HEC-MetVue_TimeSeriesSampling\Maps" folder.
In the "Project Defaults", review the three loaded maps.
Note that the green filled area symbol to the left of the HUC8 polygon shapefile designates it as a basin average map, while an unfilled area symbol designates the USA map as a background map .
Color Scale
In Project Explorer, click on the "Sioux_James" Session then go the to Properties Window and review the Color Scale settings. Use the ... button to open the Color Scale Editor.
Note that the selected Color Scale is a default explicit scale that is meant for precipitation data ranging from 0 to 30 inches.
Close the Color Scale Editor and proceed to the next task to review the datasets.
