Google Earth Water Levels (3D Cylinders)

Report Name: Google Earth Water Levels (3D Cylinders) (example)

File Name: EarthSoft.Interfaces.Google.dll

Dependencies: Saved Water Levels user report

Software: EQuIS Professional

Source: EQuIS Professional install

Language: English

Output Type: Keyhole Markup Language (*.kmz)1, 2, 3

Description: This report uses the results of a saved Water Levels user report. The output of the report generates a *.kmz which shows concentrations of each water level as a vertical cylinder at each location. Prior to using this report, please review the Submission of Content Warning for Google Earth reports as well as the commercial license requirements.

Installation Instructions: This report assembly is part of the EQuIS Professional installation. No additional installation steps are necessary.

Overview:

This report prompts you to select a saved Water Level Report. The output of the report shows the water level as a vertical cylinder at each location. The height of the cylinder represents the water level (taller cylinders show greater water elevation).

In order for locations to appear in this report:

•DT_COORDINATE.COORD_TYPE_CODE must be like "*LAT*LONG*"

•DT_COORDINATE.IDENTIFIER MUST be "Primary".

•DT_LOCATION.LOC_TYPE must be populated.

•DT_LOCATION.SYS_LOC_CODE must be populated.

•DT_LOCATION.LOC_DESC must be populated before locations are clickable.

•The Water Levels report must have STATUS_FLAG=A in ST_REPORT.

Tables: DT_WATER_LEVEL

This report includes data over the selected date range. You can drag the time slider or press the Play button to watch the values change over time.

Report Parameters

Saved Water Levels Report	Select a saved Water Levels user report
Cylinder Scale
Linear
Multiplier	Multiplier value for linearly adjusting the height of the vertical Cylinders (y = mx + b)
Constant	Constant value for linearly adjusting the height of the vertical Cylinders (y = mx + b)
Proportional
Maximum	Enter a non-zero maximum elevation to proportionally adjust the height of the vertical cylinders (y=(x-xMin) / (xMax-xMin) * (pMax - pMin) +pMin). Enter zero to skip proportional adjustment.
Minimum	Enter a non-zero maximum elevation to proportionally adjust the height of the vertical cylinders (y=(x-xMin) / (xMax-xMin) * (pMax - pMin) +pMin). Enter zero to skip proportional adjustment.

Report Output
The report output for this report is a *.kmz file that that is viewed in Google Earth.
