Introduction

Export a geometry with data for a selected timestep from a scalar timeseries to ESRI Shapefile

The format and content of this export is equivalent to exporting a polygon frame from the spatial display window using the debug menu (F12)

The ID of this serializer is 'scalar2shp' and it is available from FEWS release 2023.02 

Example module configuration

</timeSeriesExportRun>

Notes:

1) The 'scalar2shp' serializer can only output one time step so for a scalar timeseries the relativeViewperiod needs to be set to select a range of which only the first timestep will be used.

2) A prefix or suffix can be added to the filename using a time formatting string as in the given example using either the <currentTimeFormattingString> or <timeZeroFormattingString>.

3) The exportMissingValue can be used to replace the given missing values by NaN (Not A Number) values to indicate that there is no valid data, ArcGIS will display such records as '0' instead of -999 in this example.
