HEC-MetVue allows Time Series Plots to display the time window selected in the Dynamic Time Window Scanning Toolbar. The Date Range selected in the Toolbar is displayed as a vertical Hatched Marker (for non-instantaneous data) or Marker Line (for instantaneous data) in the Time Series Sampling plot(s). The Hatched Marker or Marker Line slides along the x-axis in tandem with the Dynamic time window slider controls, giving a visual representation of the selected time range directly on the Time Series Plot(s).

For Instantaneous data, the user can set the start and end date to be the exact same and that instant in time is displayed in the Time Series Plot(s) as a black Line Marker as shown below:


If the user expands that Date Range, or if the Time Series data is non-instantaneous, the Time Series Plot(s) will display the Date Range as a Hatched Marker, bounded by 2 blue border lines, and green hatching in between as shown below:


   

Note: When the Hatched Marker's region is very small (Date Range = 1 hour) with a long period of data loaded, the Hatched Marker's region can appear like a Marker Line.

The Hatched Marker or Marker Line will show on all Time Series Plots regardless of that Map Window being selected in the Dynamic Time Window Toolbar. Note that when the data from two Map Windows do not cover the identical Date Ranges, the Hatched Marker or Marker Line may extend beyond the data in some plots, or be constrained to a shorter Date Range than the data displayed in the Map Window. These specific cases are described in Interaction Between Across Map Window Sampling Methods and Dynamic Time Window.
