Tabs

HEC-WAT tabs provide different views of the available components of a study. Through these different views users can perform different operations for a study. The tabs change the content of the menu bar as well as the content of the Study and the Content panes. There are three tabs: the Study tab, the Maps tab, and the Schematic tab.

Study Tab

The default tab for HEC-WAT is the Study tab which provides a view of the study components in a tree (study tree) in the Study Pane. From the Study Tree a user can create, edit, and delete alternatives, analysis periods, and simulations. When the Study tab is active, the Content Pane presents information about items listed in the Study Tree. The Study tab view also affects the content of the HEC-WAT menu bar.

Maps Tab

The Maps tab provides a view of the available map windows currently active in the Desktop Pane. The map windows are displayed by type in the Currently Opened Maps pane.

In the Content pane the Map Layers Tree displays information about the layers for a selected map window. From the Map Layers Tree, the user can turn map layers on/off, adjust properties of the map layers, and order the map layers for viewing in the associated map window. Activating the Maps tab changes the options in the HEC-WAT menu bar.

Schematic Tab

The Schematic tab provides the user access to schematic elements in the Study Pane. Schematic elements consist of stream alignments, measures (levees, reservoirs), common computation points, and impact areas. The Study Pane also contains a list of any Map Layers imported in the HEC-WAT study.

When the Schematic tab is active, the user can create, edit, delete, and modify the schematic elements. The Content Pane provides further information about the selected element in the Schematic Tree of the Study Pane. Activating the Schematic tab changes the HEC-WAT menu bar options.
