Application Usage

How to use and get the most out of the Utiku Landslide Graphing Application.

To plot prism movement, groundwater level or daily rainfall against time, select the desired site from the appropriate list on the left of the graphing application by clicking on the reference number using your mouse, or navigating to it using the arrow keys on your keyboard and selecting it using the space bar. The application will retrieve the relevant data and plot it on the corresponding vertical axis.
To select multiple sites for plotting on a single axis:
- Hold Ctrl (Mac = Cmnd) while selecting sites, to toggle their selection.
- Hold Shift while selecting sites, to select a sequential list of sites.
You can select an area to zoom into the plots by using a top-left to bottom-right, (left) click-and-drag motion. This will select the same time-range across all three plots.
To view a moving average for a rain gauge site, select the number of days for the moving average calculation on the moving average slider and the site(s) you wish to plot the moving average for (prefixed by "MAVG_").
Selecting "Refresh" re-paints the entire graph (including all selected plots).
Selecting "Clear" clears all selected sites and re-paints the entire graph (empty).
Right clicking your mouse (PC) or Ctrl+Click (Mac) directly on the graph below will display a menu enabling further application functionality, such as printing or saving the graph to file. Note that parts of the menu functionality may be disabled if Java does not verify and accept the application's digital signature.
