HEC-MetVue offers three methods for sampling time series across multiple open Map Windows. 

  1. Single Map Window: Sample time series from a single Map Window. Each Map Window has its own unique points and/or polygons and displays its own independent Time Series Plot Window. 
  2. All Windows, Single Plot: Sample time series across all Map Windows. All Map Windows have shared points and/or polygons and display one shared Time Series Plot Window, with vertically stacked viewports.
  3. All Windows, Multiple Plots: Sample time series across all Map Windows. All Map Windows have shared points and/or polygons and each Map Window has its own separate Time Series Plot Window.

Time Series Sampling Methods Overview

1. Single Map Window

Point(s) and/or polygon(s) are defined within a single Map Window are unique to that specific Map Window and a single corresponding Time Series Plot window is computed and displayed.

Note: The user can define Point(s) and/or polygon(s) in multiple Map Windows and each Time Series Plot window will be unique to those specific Map Windows.


2. All Windows, Single Plot

Point(s) and/or polygon(s) are defined in any open Map Window and are shared across all open Map Windows in the Session. Each Map Windows respective Time Series Plot is computed and displayed in a viewport. A single shared Time Series Plot Window is displayed with all vertically stacked viewports.

Each viewport has a y-axis label reflecting the name of the Map Window and the units it utilizes. All viewports have a common x-axis which reflects the earliest start date and latest end date across all open Map Windows.

Note: Time series data for each viewport covers it's own unique time window that can be seen in the header of each Map Window.

 3. All Windows, Multiple Plots

Point(s) and/or polygon(s) are defined in any open Map Window and are shared across all open Map Windows in the Session. A single Time Series Plot window is computed and displayed for each Map Window with identical shared points and/or polygons.

Removing Time Series Points/Polygons with Multiple Map Window Time Series Sampling

Beyond removing individual curves from a Time Series Plot, as described in Time Series Plotting, the user can remove groups of time series depending on the sampling mode:

All Windows, Single Plot Method

Closing the Time Series Plot window will remove all points/polygons from all Map Windows.

Closing a Map Window will remove its corresponding plot from the stacked plots in the Time Series Plot window.

All Windows, Multiple Plots AND Single Map Window Methods

Closing a Time Series Plot window will remove all points/polygons for that specific Map Window only.

Closing a single Map Window will remove its corresponding Time Series Plot window.
