Pre-post processing of numerical models can take quite some time. Therefore it can be tempting to reduce the time available for proper post-processing. However, properly visualizing your results is of vital important importance to any analysis. To help your reader to understand the geographical location it can be interesting to plot your results on a georeferenced map with a so-called geo-image. A geo image is being used by other post-processors simply as a background of model results. The standard post-processing tools (e.g. Quickplot, Matlab or Muppet) support images in “*.jpg” or “*.png” format. With the 'Geo Image' toolbox we can make such a geo-image.

The 'Geo Image' toolbox allows downloading to download satellite images and other sorts of maps , or other map types, on a window defined by mouse clickingself-chosen window. These images can be saved in “*.jpg” format. An image can be generate using the following steps:
  1. The image window is defined by clicking on “Draw Outline” in the Working Space and then selecting the window by mouse clicking
    1. Alternatively, the window can be defined by typing the coordinates besides the values its coordinates (“Xmin”, “Xmax”, “Ymin”, “Ymax)
  2. Zoom level defines  determines the resolution of the image with increasing level from 4 to 23. Default By default, the 'auto' option is used. 
  3. Different types of images are available under 'Type' namely
    1. Aerial (satellite) image
    2. Road image
    3. Hybrid: combination between a and b

Figure: With the Geo Image toolbox one can make an image of the area of interest in order the use as a layer for a computational resultcan be made, which can be used as the underlying layer in the presentation of computational results. In this example, we made a geo image of Barnegat Bay, NJ
