RUSS data from the MN test lakes
Click and drag the mouse down and right to zoom in,
or drag it up and left to zoom out. Or press the Rescale
Plot to fill button to rescale the plot to show all of
the current data. The > and < buttons
will advance/retreat to the next/previous profile in the database.
The >> and << buttons will automatically
move through the data at the rate you set with the DELAY
slider.
If you are at the beginning or end of the data, the affected
directional buttons will be disabled.

More instructions:
You can select a different lake from the drop-down list of
WOW study lakes.
Use the date slider to quickly select a particular
date. If there is no data on the date you selected you will
get the first profile after that date.
You can select which parameters to plot.
If Clear between plots is not selected, each plot
will be drawn over what is already displayed. This can be
useful to see the range of values between certain dates. It
can also make a big mess. You can clear the graph by changing
any of the parameters or the lake (even if you change them
back before hitting the Get this Profile button).
Press Get this Profile when you are ready to draw
the new plot.
To see the actual data from the profile that is currently
showing:
- Press the Capture this Data button to write the
data to the Captured Data Window.
- Press the Show Captured Data button to view the
window.
- To copy this data to your own file:
- Select the data from the data window with your mouse
and Copy it (Ctrl-C in Windows)
- Paste (Ctrl-V in Windows) it into a text file
or spreadsheet.
Here are some
tips for saving images of the plots.
About the applet
Credits:
This program was written by Norm
Will. It was adapted and extended from Ptplot 2.0 (http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/java/ptolemy.plot2.0/ptolemy/plot/)
which is available under this
agreement.
Known Issues:
The plot is not drawn in color on Macintosh computers
if Clear between plots is selected. This is apparently
a bug with Quickdraw, the Mac's graphics package (bug #2276000).
Having Trouble?:
Our Java
Troubleshooting page might help if you are having problems
running the Profile Plotter applet.
