The graphics button is only enabled if the WEPP model produced a graphics output file with daily simulation data. Click the Run-Options button and make sure the graphics output is checked, rerun the simulation if this was not selected.
Click on the “Text Output” button at the bottom of the hillslope image. A window containing a list of output (and input) files related to the WEPP simulation are displayed. Double-click on a view to view it in Notepad.
These are the files that the Windows interface has generated as input to the WEPP FORTRAN model. The file formats are described in the WEPP User Summary document.
This is default output from the WEPP model that would normally be sent to a users terminal screen. The Windows interfaces saves this data to display any error or warning messages a simulation run had.
When the files are displayed in Notepad you can print or choose File and then Save As.
Each hillslope project opened is assigned a unique id so that the any input and output files generated are kept separate for each project.
Click on the Options menu and select “Preferences” click on the Graphics tab and only have checks next to the variables you are interested in. The next time the graphics output is viewed the list will only show those items.
Currently the WEPP model only logs the daily values in metric; the Windows interface does not yet have conversion functions to support graphs in English units.
Click on the style list in the graph setup window to select a new style and then click the “Display” button to redraw the graph. You can also right-click the graph to display a menu and choose “Viewing Style” and then select a new style from the list. There are many more options available from right-clicking on the graph.
Left-click and hold down the mouse button to select a starting position and then drag the line to the desired ending point and release the left mouse button. To restore the graph to the original view type ‘z’.
Upto 4 separate graphs can be displayed at one time. Click one of the 4 circles at the top of the window to indicate which of the four available graph windows will be displayed. Click the “Display” button to show the graph window.
Move the mouse over the graph and then right-click to display a menu of options. Choose “Export”, in the export window select Metafile and Printer options. You can also save the graph so that it can imported into other programs by saving to a file or the clipboard.
