Graphing Output

Model output can be graphed in several different ways depending on wether the model used the Monte Carlo or Sensitivity Analysis special features. The majority of the functions on the model output toolbar behave the same for all of the graphs.

This display can be changed by clicking on the appropriate button on the Output toolbar or by selecting the display type from the Output menu. When one of these four graphs is used to display the model output, the Output toolbar will appear. The buttons on this toolbar can be used for the following:

• The Normal button returns the graph editing to normal mode and deactivates the panning and rotation of the graph.
• The Rotation button puts the graph into rotation mode, where the mouse can be used to rotate the graph up and down or left and right. To rotate the graph press and hold down the left mouse button.
• The Pan button puts the graph into pan mode, where the mouse can be used to move the graph up and down or left and right. To move the graph press and hold down the left mouse button.
• The Zoom button puts the graph into zoom mode, where the mouse can be used to zoom in or out of the graph. To zoom in press and hold down the left mouse button while moving the mouse towards the top of the screen. To zoom out press and hold down the left mouse button while moving the mouse towards the bottom of the screen.
• The 3D Depth button is used to adjust the depth of the graph in 3D perspective mode. To adjust the depth, press and hold the left mouse button.
• The 3D button is used to toggle the graph in and out of 3D mode.
• The Edit button is used to edit the format of the graph. When this button is pressed the Editing Graph form on the next page is displayed.For more information on how to use this form press the Help button.
• The Print button is used to print the output. When the button is pressed the Print Preview form below is displayed. To send the output to the printer, press the Print button on the form.
• The Save button will save the output to either a bitmap or metafile. When the button is pressed the Save As form below is displayed.
• The Concentration vs Depth button switches the display of the output to a graph of concentration versus depth. If the Monte Carlo or Sensitivity Analysis special features are used this button will display a graph of the Distribution of the Maximum Concentration.
• The Concentration vs Time button switches the display of the output to a graph of concentration versus time. If the Monte Carlo or Sensitivity Analysis special features are used this button will display a graph of the Distribution of the Time of the Maximum Concentration.
• The Time vs Depth button switches the display of the output to a graph of time versus depth. If the Monte Carlo or Sensitivity Analysis special features are used this button will display a graph of the Distribution of the Variable Values.
• The Flux vs Time button switched the display of the output to a graph of flux versus time.
• The Listing button switched the display of the output to a text listing.
