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 image window is defined by clicking on “Draw Outline” in the Working Space and then selecting the window by mouse clicking
- Alternatively, the window can be defined by typing the coordinates besides the values its coordinates (“Xmin”, “Xmax”, “Ymin”, “Ymax“)
- Zoom level defines determines the resolution of the image with increasing level from 4 to 23. Default By default, the 'auto' option is used.
- Different types of images are available under 'Type' namely
- Aerial (satellite) image
- Road image
- 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
