September 2022

Catchwords

oostprozessor
time series
cf-netcdf.nc

Short Description of Functionality

NCVIEW2D is applied to visualize cf-netcdf.nc data as time series. The following objects are within a plot:

1. plot window(s) (also subplots)
2. y-axis
3. data

A plot window can also have two y-axis with 5 individual data sets each. E. g. plot window 1 and its y-axis 1 can contain the measured and modeled water level, while plot window 2 could show measured salinity on the left y-axis and discharge on the right y-axis. Plot windows are placed from north to south. Below the lowes window, the UUID of the cf-netcdf.nc data may be displayed as legend.

Input-Files

1. req: NCVIEW2D.DAT

Output-Files

1. MATLAB figure *.fig
2. DMQS metadata (stored in figure)
3. program log *.sdr
4. errors and warning *.err
5. opt: plot data stored as spreadsheet or MATLAB Timetable
6. opt: other formats such as *.jpg, *.tif, *.svg, *.pdf, *.png

Methodology

This program was written in MATLAB and takes advantage of existing PROGHOME methods, such as unit conversion or i/o of BOEWRT data. The program is subdivided in the following sections:

1. Reading and checking the steering file
2. Testing of the existence of input data and its variables
3. Testing of the plausibility of input parameters
4. Extracting optional parameters, which have been given in NCVIEW2D.DAT, other data is set to a default value.
5. Data import (file, variables)
6. opt: data operations
7. opt: data smoothing
8. Testing of existence of x-axis limits
9. Initialising the figure environment
10. Initialising the the axis
11. Initialising the the legend
12. Initialising the UUID legend (if requested)
13. Initialising the figure title (if requested)
14. Initialising the figure box and grid lines (if requested)
15. Initialising the textboxes (if requested)
16. Writing DMQS information in *.fig
17. Export *.fig
18. opt: export further formats (if requested)
19. opt: export of data as spreadsheet (xlsx) or MATLAB Timetable
20. controlled end
