VizSwat Software
VIZSWAT is a visualization and analysis tool developed by Baird & Associates
for SWAT model output. VIZSWAT analyzes results from SWAT
2000 and SWAT 2005 versions as well as AVSWAT and ArcSWAT (ArcGIS-SWAT).
VIZSWAT is a customized version of Spatial Data Analyzer (SDA), a GIS-based
data visualization and analysis tool that animates time series and spatial data
over GIS maps with impressive display speed. In addition to model results, it
is capable of loading many commonly used GIS layers and ASCII data in various
formats. Spatial and temporal data can be graphically interpreted over GIS
layers and graphically explored and edited in four-dimensional space (3D space
plus time) with fully functional GIS navigation tools. VIZSWAT allows users to
import, analyze and visualize SWAT model results within the SDA framework.
A number of powerful and convenient functions are available for data analysis in VIZSWAT.
Analysis functions include time series aggregation, basic statistics, and correlation, frequency,
baseflow and flow duration analyses. Time series data can be extracted from model results and
plotted separately. Animations of model data can be produced using graphic layers that can be
easily controlled through the hierarchic layer controller. VIZSWAT provides a few types of sub-maps,
which can be used for multiple map views, time series and X-Y plots. These submaps can be animated
simultaneously with the main map. VIZSWAT also provides a number of map objects such as a clock,
scale bar, legends, labels, geometric shapes and icons. VIZSWAT also provides the capability for
recording movies in various formats and publishing high-resolution maps.
