The 'Import' tab in the Working Space allows the user importing data. Dashboard support multiple formats like ASCII grid, MAT-files, xyz-grid and netCDF and multiple coordinates systems. This can for example be a powerful tool when a LIDAR data set is combined with a data set like the Coastal Relief Model. An example can be found in the Figure below. Importing contains of 3 steps:
- Select file. By selecting the file file Delft Dashboard determines how many cells it is going to create.
- If you use Matlab or NetCDF as input: make sure the bathymetry information is saved within the variables x, y and z. (lower case)
- Edit settings. Define for example the coordainte system and filename and attributes.
- Generate Tiles. The bathymetry set will be created for Delft Dasboard Dashboard using tiles.
Figure: Importing other bathymetric datasets is easily easy to carry out with Delft Dashboard as can be seen in this example where we import LiDAR data of Barnegat Bay, NJ
