Summary

Confidence limits are vertical lines in the pre-defined displays that are plotted at a position relative to T0 in the graph. The lines can be configured per subplot in the DisplayGroupsfile. A maximum of three lines can be defined.

Config Options

Configuration per subplot

Part of the schema for the DisplayGroups file is shown below:

To define a forecast confidence line the forecastConfidenceTimeSpan1, forecastConfidenceTimeSpan2or the forecastConfidenceTimeSpan3  element must be defined. Within this element a (time) unit should be defined (e.g. hours) and an optional multiplier or divider. This part of the configuration defines the offset of the line relative to T0.

Configuring the look of the lines

How the lines are drawn in the graphs is configured in the TimeseriesDisplayConfig.xml file in the SystemConfigFiles directory. Within the   timeMarkersDisplayConfig element a number of  timeMarkerDisplayOptions elements may be configured. See the following example (first in XMLSpy grid view, next as XML):

Configuration Steps

1) Open the DisplayGroups.xml file and go to a subplot:

	<displayGroup name="MyCatchments">
		<display name="A">
			<relativeViewPeriod unit="hour" start="-24" end="24"/>
			<subplot>
				<timeSeriesSet>
				<moduleInstanceId>MergedPrecipitation_Historical</moduleInstanceId>
				<valueType>scalar</valueType>
				<parameterId>P.merged</parameterId>
				<locationId>XX</locationId>
				<timeSeriesType>simulated historical</timeSeriesType>
				<timeStep unit="minute" multiplier="15"/>
				<relativeViewPeriod unit="hour" start="-48" end="24"/>
				<readWriteMode>read only</readWriteMode>
				</timeSeriesSet>

2)Now insert a forecastConfidenceTimeSpan1 element with a unit attribute (hour) just after the subplot element, like this:

	<displayGroup name="MyCatchments">
		<display name="A">
			<relativeViewPeriod unit="hour" start="-24" end="24"/>
			<subplot>
				<forecastConfidenceTimeSpan1 unit="hour"/>
				<timeSeriesSet>
				<moduleInstanceId>MergedPrecipitation_Historical</moduleInstanceId>
				<valueType>scalar</valueType>
				<parameterId>P.merged</parameterId>
				<locationId>XX</locationId>
				<timeSeriesType>simulated historical</timeSeriesType>
				<timeStep unit="minute" multiplier="15"/>
				<relativeViewPeriod unit="hour" start="-48" end="24"/>
				<readWriteMode>read only</readWriteMode>
				</timeSeriesSet>

This should result in a vertical line being draw in the graph:

If the colours of the lines should be changed this can be done in the TimeSeriesDisplayConfig.xml file in the SystemConfigFiles directory.
