Scalar time series can be extracted from the grid by double clicking the point of interest. Depending on the type of data, which is displayed, the scalar time series will be relevant to either a point, polygon or grid cell. This can also be done in the following way. First select the point of interest either by right clicking and selecting 'Draw Point' from the pop-up menu or by left clicking. A coloured dot will be drawn to indicate the selected point. For grid data an additional green dot will be drawn to indicate the centre of the selected grid cell. Then extract the time series for the selected point either by right clicking and selecting 'Show Time Series' from the pop-up menu or by pressing the F3 key.

Longitudinal profiles time series can be extracted from the grid data and shown in a separate graph as well. The profile (or cross section) is defined by drawing a profile sketch. Start drawing a profile sketch either by right clicking and selecting 'Start Drawing Profile' from the pop-up menu or by Ctrl+left clicking on the desired start point for the profile. A coloured dot will be drawn to indicate the selected start point. Add additional line segments to the profile by left clicking in the display. Finish drawing by double-clicking on the desired end point for the profile. Green dots along the profile indicate which grid cells are used for the profile.
Once a profile sketch has been drawn, extract the profile either by right clicking and selecting 'Show Profile' from the pop-up menu or by pressing the F2 key. The graph of the profile will show automatically.
To extract a different profile just start drawing another profile. This will erase the previous sketch. The profile sketch can also be erased by right clicking and selecting 'Delete Sketch' from the pop-up menu.
When animating the grid, the profile follows the same animation. When animating the profile only, the grid animation remains fixed. Note that the same cross section can be reused when switching to another plot (F2 will open a new window).
The cross section is defined by following the right mouse menu or by: Ctrl+right mouse - drag - release mouse. The profile will show automatically.
Note:
Even more essential then for scalars, it is wise to pause the grid animation when dragging a cross section to be shown.
Note:
Extraction of longitudinal profiles is not available for irregular grids, points and polygons. The profile sketch will be erased when switching to one of these data types.
Note:
If longitudinal profile data is displayed in the spatial display, then there is no need to draw a profile sketch. Just press the F2 key or right click and select 'Show Profile' from the pop-up menu to show the graph of the profile.
